Stories for sure!!Nice job bringing her in. That marina told us a few weeks ago our 5ft draft wouldn’t fit. Off we went to South Jersey. We sat three feet off the dock sitting on the bottom. Once the tide came in we pulled ourselves to the dock. Wind blew the water out of the marina and low tide. Next day weather was beautiful for an offshore run.
Looks like you are at Utch’s marina. Great place! I’ve been in there several times and I appreciate what you had to negotiate to get in safely. Great job Captain! Definitely check out the Lobster House, a short walk from the marina. Best of luck on the rest of the journey!
OK Paul, what year is this boat and how many hours on it that the rubber in the dampener failed? How hard will it be to find this Detroit part ? It might be something we should ALL look more closely at on our own boats or while shopping!! A survey probably would NOT find this!
The survey didn’t find this. It’s a 1981 Hatteras 58 Long Range Cruiser. (We got married in 1981) My husband had a list of must haves and the engine topped the list. Parts should be readily available and reasonably priced.
@@deamengers474 Thanks for your reply! I have been looking at an LRC with the 4-71s. I would guess this component is shared between the two and because of your misfortune, I now know to closely look at this and to buy a spare or two! Good luck with the remainder of your journey. Thanks!!!
@@rusty9129I don’t know anything about the 4-71. We have 6-71’s. I met the brother of a friend who is a diesel mechanic recently. He especially likes the 70 series; whatever that is. Decide on the engines you want first then narrow down your ideal boats. The previous owner had the boat about 17 years. He took care of it well but it spent the last several years on the hard. We knew we would be investing blood, sweat, and tears (and money) into it. Because it has the right engines, we knew it was worth the investment.
@@deamengers474 Detroit Diesel (GM) had a very simple nomenclature system: You have 6-71s. That means - 6 cylinders and 71 cubic inches per cylinder. So the 4-71 is 4 cylinders. There's the 4-53s, the 8V-71 (so 8 cylinders in V formation, 71 cu in each), and so on! Now you know!!
It has a tender. There’s an issue with registering it. I don’t know the details but it’s registered in Rhode Island and we’re trying to register it in Oklahoma.
Good luck guys I am busy bleeding my diesels after changing fuel filters haha, just wanted to make sure y'all were okay!

Thanks for the tips!
Great Job Paul
If possible, it's a short walk through the dry dock yard to the 102-year-old Lobster House. Great food!
We eat there thanks 🙏
man, it not the tight space, but with the cross wind that gets really sporting fast. I bet your heart was beating and the intensity level was a ten.
Yes it got my attention 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Another good war story for the books! Well done!
Boating is fun??!! Nice report video Paul thank you. Hope you get fixed up soon and get back rolling south soon. Happy 4th of July🎉!
I hope so too!
Now go straight to Norfolk, don't go up and down Chesapeake you lose 2 days...
Nice job Captain, I have a great teacher!
Oh boy what we doin guys?

@@rusty9129 so the 70 series that the mechanic got excited about would be your 4-71 and our 6-71?
Wow cap that would took 10 year off my life nice job
Told you you weren't going to get a slip any where.......
We got one, tight getting in and out but we got ☝️
Great story guys. You need a tender
It has a tender. There’s an issue with registering it. I don’t know the details but it’s registered in Rhode Island and we’re trying to register it in Oklahoma.
@@deamengers474 Are you from OK? I live in Tulsa and I am good friends with Paul. Maybe I can help?
@@stephengarcille4844 We’re in the OKC area. Are you friends with Captain Paul or my nephew Paul?
@@deamengers474 captain Paul.
@@stephengarcille4844 Thanks for the offer. We are related to half the town so anything I can’t handle myself I can make one call and get it handled.
Head on over to the Lobster House and get a beverage and dinner.
wow crazy....
Foday Yillah 👍💯
