Re: Replacing Fuel Tanks on 1985 Pilothouse Schooner

I thought I liked the interior of the schooner until now that I see where your fuel tanks are located. That does not look like fun at all. Granted tanks are something that shouldn't need attention for a very long time and weight down that low is a good thing. Compromises, compromises... Good luck an...

Re: Introducing myself!

Eric, So you stole my photos to use as a screensaver? Since you also thought Far Cry was a beauty, it's OK. Did you snag the photos from Sailnet? I'm still a little dumbstruck with our similar histories. Thank you so much for the kind words about Far Cry. 1) I looked at replacing the exhaust with ha...

My name's Eric, I live in Naples, Florida, and I just purchased a 1985 Freedom 39. This is my fifth boat in as many years, but it's by far the largest; I started...

Need some drive line parts ASAP

Hello All, I've been lurking here for awhile and absorbing the great information. I bought a somewhat neglected F39 Express (cat ketch) a few months ago. I've gone through most of the systems onboard replacing and repairing things as I find them. It seemed I had worked my way past the big items but ...
