Planning on doing some keel work this spring on my JC. When I had the boat surveyed I was told the owner had run up on a mussel bed at some point and although he didn't do any damage he had some glass mat added to both sides running about a foot up and had a keel shoe installed. This is how it looked when I got it... Keel Re-Contouring

My 35 Duffy has the engine placed 3/4 of the way infront of the bulkhead cat 3126. The boat was set up as a commercial lobster boat and I am slowly converting it into a tuna/pleasure boat. I would like to move the engine back behind the bulkhead to open up down bow but also I believe it to ride bow heavy. currently the engine is just mounted via angle aluminum brackets bolted to stringers and has no isolators. My thought was to slide engine back and make new mounts and use isolators to get... 35 Duffy engine placement

I am looking for opinions on a 32' Millenium. I do a fair amount of chasing inshore giants. I spend just as much time in the canyons. I really like the boat my concerns is how flat they are in the stern. A few friends from up north told me they are more of a inshore boat and not so much a offshore boat. Keep in mind I am talking about the 32' with outboards not a single diesel with keel ect. My current boat is a Jersey Cape center console that I am happy with for what I use it for just... 32 Millenium

Added an underwater exhaust to my 32 BHM, works great! Going to make a couple of modifications when it comes out next month, but version 1 has been a tremendous success. Much quieter, no exhaust smell!

A true master has passed leaving a legacy of Lyford Stanley designed "Stanley". John "Jock" Williams 86, founded The Williams Boat Company in 1970. May he rest in peace.

I have many questions about a 2006 38 HTX. I know it is not a traditional downeast, ( what I want. My wife not so much!) but that is what I will wind up with but I can't really find a discussion group about the sabre express boat. Any ideas?
