Hello Gearheads,
I am a boatyard ghost! I earn my living to pay for my boating habit! You may ask:
1. Why are you here? A. Old motor yachts, if restored with original power, require support and knowledge of the other people who know and care about Hemi's, nail heads, and other motors of mutual interest to anyone who loves muscle from the fifties and sixties.
2. What the hell is this Dirty Dancer handle? My wife is the namesake for my 43 foot Tollycraft, Sue Ann. She is powered by a pair of 401 nailheads (the boat, not my wife). Then I aquired another big yacht. A 42 foot Stephens with a pair of 392 Marine Hemi's. After a particularly wild night at the yacht club and a confrontation with the comodore about doing a sandwich dance with members of the band, I decided I could name both yachts for my wife.
So, I set sail in your little estuary in search of boat parts. Motor parts and support within a community of people who love old motors.
Today, I seek exhaust manifolds. Why here? Because, in my experience, it is not unlikely that a hot rodder would by marine Hemis and have exhaust manifolds left over at the end of the project.
