  • Let's got crazy and take a trip. We're moving a 70 foot yacht from Chicago to Key West. Come along on an interesting journey!

    When you need an obscure part and the dealer says he has 20 in stock, you know they've seen that problem before.

    We have the same issue on our 1988 Hatteras with our port engine. We think we have a leak somewhere cause when we take the fuel filter off; it is dry and no fuel is in it....so we gonna work on it during the winter since she will be on dry land😭.

      Hate those hard to find issues! Thanks for watching.

    Wow, one of the biggest boats I've seen to try the loop! What is the draft on the boat??

    • @waterwethinking1142
      @waterwethinking1142  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      5 feet of draft, so some of the harbors we encounter are pretty shallow.

    Wow, Great looking Yacht, What kind is it? Do we get a full tour? Sucks that the engine broke down, but probably better at the begining in a place where there are mechanics than a long ways down river where there is nobody to help. As for the chicken, sounds like a spot of food poisoning, defiantly your body didn't like something.

      I'll have a tour posted soon, it was a bit messy on this trip so I wanted to wait until it was cleaned and (slightly) remodeled.

    Everyone I've known that had Cat engines on their boats had major issues all the time!

    • @waterwethinking1142

      I'm fairly sure I'd stay away from Cats in any future boats I have. However I really don't intend to buy anything this big!

    thats on the mechanic that put the "correct ones" in

      I'm sure that mechanic will be getting a talking to, this was about a $2000 repair billed back to them.

    A rough start for the boat and for you! Hope the food poisoning cleared up. What kind of boat is it? It looks a little like a Ferretti but I couldn't read the logo.

      2001 Neptunis 70' and there will be a tour of it coming later in the series.

    Hope you are feeling better, I wouldn't think it was food poisoning being you reacted to the food that quickly.
    Lucky you catching a ride south, how did you manage this trip?
    Safe travels

      The sickness went away as soon as I got rid of the contents of my belly. This is a friend's boat and I was fortunate enough to jump on board.

    That's a lot of drama for a couple O-rings. Hate to see you react to something bad.

    • @waterwethinking1142
      @waterwethinking1142  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah, those engines are built to specific tolerance and I guess we exceeded them.
