Finally someone had a reference to photos of the damage. Some of the boat names are prophetic.... like "Peace be Still", "Envie", "Quiet Flight". I am sure...

Thanks for all the suggestions. I tried to use a tape measure but the angles make for a complex formula and lots of guesses. I estimated about 9 Cubic ...
Hi Folks We are looking at various options for e-mail at sea and the Skymate system looks (at least on paper) very good. Anyone have experience and/or comments...
I'm about to acquire a 1976 M33, well looked after and apparently in pretty much original condition, here in Costa Rica, and would be grateful for the...
The 333 at the end indicates it's a O/I morgan. Not sure about the 33T? I've lived on my 74' O/I 333 for two years now and love it. I'd be happy to pass on...
I think that the boat is question is an Morgan Out Island 33 manufactured in June of 1976. The 33T was a different boat manufactured from about 1972 to 1976....
The select letter is an "R" -- the best reference I know of regarding hull numbers is at http://www.morgan41page.org/Systems/M41_HIN.htm ... Gerard Weatherby ...
Very interesting but! Last year I purchased a Morgan 40 Ketch, originaly named "Last Wind" and at the time I took over the vessel was named "Janine". The sail...
Provided it is cleaned out thoroughly, is there any reason a tank that was used for diesel cannot be used for gasoline? I've had it with transmission and...
It doesn't fit in the chart because HIN numbers (hull ID numbers to a United States Coast Guard formula) were not required before November 1973. The M40 was...

It will look funny but that's just the start of it. We got lovely old boats with lots of overhang fore and aft. In chop the prop will be in and out of the...
Thanks for the info. Then the hull number is 50 built in 1971, according to some paper work that I found but I have yet to find a marking in or on the hull. ...
Agree with Dave. I once had a 28 footer with o/b. Had a scary experience trying to claw my way off a lee shore with a 10hp OB. I had to "tack" the boat with...
Don't do it!!! I have a 15hp 4stroke outboard (along with a functional inboard) on my M28. The outboard poses MAJOR problems. First, you can't keep the prop...
On my M25 it was written inside a port cockpit locker with a black marker in large numbers. With my M30 it was written in the lazerette with marker and later I...

If you have a functional inboard why mess with the outboard? Am I missing something? Mike O'Barr Kosrae...
Mike, Thanks your reply and help offer. From the chart posted, I can now identify the boat as an OI-33 built June '76 but you may have answers to the...
The previous owner gave up on the inboard, so he installed the outboard. After buying the boat and discovering the poor performance of the outboard, I...
No need even to thoroughly clean it out. A dash of diesel in a gas tank or vice-versa never hurt anyone. On the broader subject of should you try (I say try ...

With all the conversations about fuel tanks and motors that drive most of us crazy I try to remember she is a SAIL BOAT after-all....I don't have the skills...
Count me in, too! Our previous boat, a Hunter 23, has a 5 HP outboard; plenty of power for the boat, but even in the Barnegat Bay, there were times when the...
There are two differences I know of between diesel and gas tanks. First, diesel tanks have a return line. Second, it is illegal for a gas tank to have a drain...
The inboard is an ancient Perkins/Westerbeke bastardized POS which I seems to spend more time fixing than running. The transmission is an ancient Paragon POS...
Don't beat yourself Dave: even brilliant sailors like me <grin> can do nothing when the wind dies at nightfall in the middle of a shipping channel and the most...
The diameter of my shrouds are 1/4", which I agree is light. This boat has a short rig, and I'm assuming that's why Morgan decided that the boat didn't need...
today was one of the most frustrating I can recall. To get to the coupling I had to lay on top of the engine and wriggle into the engine compartment head...
Hang in there Jeremy. We've all given you our 2 cent opinions but it is you that have the checkbook. We all agree that having reliable aux power is essential....
