My wife and I have been fans of your channel for some time now and we got excited when we heard that your are keeping your beautiful yacht at the Marina in Titusville, Florida. We live a very close distance from that marina and we are planning to purchase our first boat sometime later this year. I also understand that your home is in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and that is very cool because I was born and raised about 2 hours North of Philly. The next time that you are in Titusville, please let us know and we would enjoy taking you and your wife out for dinner and drinks. Keep those great youtube videos coming. They are great! Cheers!
Small world. We will be back in Titusville towards the end of April, prepping for a trip to the Bahamas. We are actually from Bucks County. Hope to see you when we return to Florida. Cheers!
Love the, good bad and ugly from this channel. It all seems worth it when I see you guys enjoying a cocktail watching the sunset at some beautiful location. 👍🥂
On my former Hatteras 1977 58EDMY we had water that saturated the balsa core of the hardtop above where you are working. Some improperly made deck penetrations were the cause. Chasing water leaks is very frustrating as you usually tear up perfectly good stuff before you find it. I suspect the davit area is a likely area to focus on. Good luck. FYI I now have a 48LRC so I do love the vintage Hatteras boats!
Ed and Lyn, At my age many of us find leaks, and they aren't mysterious:) The new floor sounds like a great upgrade. I hope you and your family have a wonderful, healthy and Happy Christmas. Cheers, Rik Spector
I had a similar problem on a minivan sunroof. Turned out there was an intentional weepage drain that became clogged by a darn spider making its home in the drain tube.
@@carlrhodes9040 Definitely a lot easier than running up onto the flybridge or into the engine rooms every few minutes to see how close to full you are LOL
To Ed & Lynn, my friend had a similar issue with a small Viking. It appeared that the "port" side Mid Ship had literally No chaulk. Never noticed until several seasons later as mold started to over take the entire area. His boat was located in the Fort Pierce, FL. He did not know what to do and continued to bleach the interior. "he had limited knowledge" of handling this issue. Ed, if you recall, black mold was the evil issue for years. The end result was a removal of off panels and a very expensive reVamp. Ed, my point is that is started from the very top and rivered its way. I m not sure if I helped as You and Lynn are experts on your boat.
Captain.... you're in FLorida where the average annual rainfall is around 50 inches--you're living on a boat that flexes and tears caulking while you're under sea-way...yes, water will inevitably find a way in.
I love your videos but they are a bit short. The life of owning a Boat. thank you for your hard work in editing the videos I know it takes a lot of time.
@@keithbryan8432 Yea, with a lot of the channels I follow, if over 20-25 min I often don't want to commit to them based on my available time and attention span.
Always enjoy watching you guys! I’m assuming the new fuel pump solved your priming issues on the main engine? Can’t wait to see the next flooring video
If and when you find the leak use high end caulk, i use bargain basement and wond up redoing with high end caulk, nothing like doing it twice to get done right. There, I told on myself 😢
I’m guessing your AC unit it you mentioned is draining into that space. By the way we just pulled into Titusville this week. Two days here and lo and behold I see your Pennant on the bow. Didn’t recognize the boat before then. We will be here through the weekend if you need any help. MV Cetus. KK Whaleback off your bow.
thanks ed for your response...im down in deerfield beach im looking to buy a 1999 maxum 41 sca that neads tlc...looking for marina with diy ...im down here for 6 months go back home to quebec april til november...if you know a good place let me know.....ps not fort lauderdale lol......@@tryingnottosink9107
Hello Captain Ed and Lynn, My wife and I are looking forward to meeting you the next time you are at the Titusville Marina. Do you have an email address or a good way for us to keep in contact with you? We are a retired couple that is new to the cruising lifestyle so we would really appreciate picking your brains with boating questions. We are learning a lot from your videos. Happy Saint Patrick’s Day! Cheers!
We will be down in Titusville towards the end of April. We plan to spend about a week prepping the boat before heading off to the Bahamas. Hope to see you then!
Owning a big boat like that is a never ending battle of work and upkeep
Owning any boat is!

Hummm...As much as I want one,I'm beginning to think boats might be problematic. LOL . Good luck with your repair !!
Thanks 👍
Love Those 2 stroke Detroits
Hope you find the leak easily.
Love the, good bad and ugly from this channel. It all seems worth it when I see you guys enjoying a cocktail watching the sunset at some beautiful location. 👍🥂
It is definitely worth it!
@tryingnottosink9107 Cheers! Wishing you both happiness and smooth travels! 👍
Gotta love those Detroits ❤

We found it. It is in the is Sunday's video.
What? I have to wait until the next episode to find out where the leak is coming from? I won't be able to sleep lol! Great content as always!
and it should have been obvious to us. You'll see on Sunday.
Ed and Lyn,
At my age many of us find leaks,
and they aren't mysterious:)
The new floor sounds like a great upgrade.

even capt cook had a leak or two - happy holidays from missouri === cheers mates
Cheers!
On some generators, you can prime/glow plugs by holding the rocker switch in the "stop" position. (We had a 20kw Kohler that worked that way.)
I'm kinda sad.... only one, very small, half-hearted Roger-Out (after cutting out the floor section). :(
🙃
Put some "stay afloat" putty in those holes, done deal
Ed & Lynn, Nautistyles did a tour yesterday (Dec. 9) of a 1978 Hatteras. A pity I don't have $200k burning a hole in my pocket.
I saw that as well. But Ed's enclosed fly bridge is the way to go!!
@@garyw8481 That had an enclosed flybridge but had done away with the lower helm which is one thing I didn't like about the boat.
@@michiganengineer8621 Completely agree!!!
Those fuel site gauges on the floor of the aft deck were a curiosity.
@@carlrhodes9040 Definitely a lot easier than running up onto the flybridge or into the engine rooms every few minutes to see how close to full you are LOL
Looks great!
Thanks!
am enjoying the video, thanks. warm up the genny before adding load.
You are welcome!
I have that same Fuel-Ox T-shirt

Very interesting, I love these project videos
Glad you like them!
Ha ha I love when the creators smack down the keyboard experts.
Another amazing video.
Thnak you!

Ain't that the truth!

I own a 69 Grand Banks 36 woody, should of named it"Leakin Lena".....
Love it
I love your videos but they are a bit short. The life of owning a Boat. thank you for your hard work in editing the videos I know it takes a lot of time.
I prefer shortish videos. Would rather watch 3 @ 15 mins. v. 1 @ 45 mins.
@@keithbryan8432 Yea, with a lot of the channels I follow, if over 20-25 min I often don't want to commit to them based on my available time and attention span.
Be careful what you wish for. See this Sunday's video!

Yes, it was the fuel pump all along.
If and when you find the leak use high end caulk, i use bargain basement and wond up redoing with high end caulk, nothing like doing it twice to get done right. There, I told on myself 😢
We used 3M 4200.
Be careful with that pole it contains your upstairs electric wiring, & steering cables. Good luck with the leak they can be the devil to find.
Thanks.
2:21 knock on something hard, (I usually use my head, its the ardent thing around) don’t jinx it, lol

Lyn said she met you. We were in and out so much last week, sorry I did not get a chance to say hi.
@@tryingnottosink9107 it was a windy few days. Hope to see you down in the Bahamas one day.
Reminiscent of Gene Hackman in the Conversation....
I fired my motors after sitting for a month and clam shells a a muskrat come flying out ...lol
😁😁😁
WAIT a minute, did I miss the DRINKING scene 🤔 There's ALWAYS a DRINKING SCENE🍸🥃
Hey, wait, we forgot to film the tequila shots!
🤣@@tryingnottosink9107
Maybe the time has come to just let it sink and buy a newer boat 😂
hello ed .how much is a slip per month [6 months] in your marina...
$11 per foot per month plus electric. However, there is a long wait list for the marina.

Foam air filters are meant to be CLEANED…until they start to fail
Ours was deteriorating.
