Re: hull repair

I'm guessing she was in dry dock! Another shop to look into would be big shops that do repairs in big trucks, semi's, fire truck and the like. The big truck shop, or like Busia says, an aircraft repair shop, may have to ability to go mobile and fix your boat on site after the estimate.

Re: Auto pilot

Interesting question. This may sound unrelated, but bear with me. I was told by my boat's previous owner that mine was originally equipt with auto pilot. My guess is that it was removed, perhaps because it broke and quit working (don't really know) possibly because it worked off Loran, which has bee...

Re: 37 sedan flybridge removal

Re: Fuel tank capacity

My 37' sedan/flybridge has two tanks also, can't remember the size. She weighs 16,500. The weight I know from the shipping paperwork from transporting it by truck.
