When I bought Moxie, she was at Sailor’s Wharf in St. Pete. That was 8 years ago. There are a few boatyards there that can haul out and dismast your boat. The trucking company I found on UShip.com, typed in my specs, and got a few quotes.

Do you mean a 155 outboard? Most marine engines, either gas or diesel, have some sort of raw water strainer to make sure the water cooling system doesn't get blocked with debris. The strainer could be external to the engine like mine on Moxie and most marine diesel engines, or it could be internal for an outboard engine.

@SailingMoxie Жыл бұрын
Thank you for watching! My suggestion: make friends with sailors and get them to take you out on their boats. Good sailors love to take new, interested people out for a sail. Also, local sailing schools often have open sail days where you can join a boat or you can go out for just a few bucks. Don't jump into boat/sailboat ownership if you can avoid it. The more time you spend on the water with experienced sailors, the more you'll learn from their experiences. -Matt

I really liked my trimaran in Hawaii. It would have been a great boat in Florida. But the Hunter 54 is a pretty cool boat as well. My biggest issue with the monohull is that it has a 6 foot draft, and Florida has a lot of shallow water. I have softly run aground several times on Moxie. The tri only drew about 2.5 feet. I hope one day to own a large tri again, but for now I'm happy with Moxie and the monohull life. Thanks for the question!

Great video, thank you! I have a groco raw water strainer for the a/c unit and a perko raw water strainer for the engine raw water intake... I need to modernize those. So, can the engine one be above water line but the a/c one must be below water line?
@SailingMoxie2 жыл бұрын
It all depends on how much draw your pumps have and what safety measures you have in place in case the strainers fail. I found this online: "The ideal location for the strainer is slightly above the waterline but on a continuous upward rise toward the engine. That way, water will not pour into the bilges in the case of failure and air will not have a place to become trapped." (Moyer Marine Forum). On a large sailboat I'm working on now, all the strainers are well below the waterline, but we have solid thru-hull valves in place to restrict water flow. I think you want them close to the waterline, perhaps slightly above (in case of failure), and so that you can open and inspect them without having to close seacocks. However, you then have to worry about flooding them to get the air out or at least pushing or pumping the air through the system so that you get rid of it quickly and don't keep air trapped in the flow systems. Hope this helps.

@SailingMoxie3 жыл бұрын
Is this the one currently for sale in Ohio? As a first sailboat buy it can be great. Spend some time with the boat. Get a full survey done. Negotiate the price for sure. Make sure to consider moving expenses, storage expenses, refit list and expenses. A H54 is a LOT of boat to handle. You will always need at least one other person on board to take her out. Take your time and make an informed decision. Talk to other boat owners. Otherwise, I love Moxie my H54. I live on board, so I spend lots of time with it. Let me know if you have more questions or need additional details. Happy to help.

In this video, you mention that you acquired Moxie from as an insurance sale. Which sale did it come from? Thanks!
@SailingMoxie3 жыл бұрын
I saw the listing on YachtWorld.com. It was being sold by a broker for the insurance company. I was directed to their website to place a bid, but I called the broker and asked if I could offer the asking price and have a day or two to have a survey completed. The damage to the boat was mostly interior damage, and it was a total loss due to the estimated repair costs. So the previous owners received a check, and the insurance company had the broker sell the boat to get what they could back. Since it had been a total loss, I cannot get insurance on the boat until I have a full survey completed after repairs. I don't remember the broker or the company because I dealt with them over the phone. I hope that helps, but if you have another question, let me know.

Thanks for the video How did you calculate the height of the strainer above water level and what about the size of the filter? It looks alot smaller and I wonder if the volume flow rate will have an effect at higher rpm's.
@SailingMoxie3 жыл бұрын
For the height of the strainer above the waterline, I opened the thru-hull valve and held the hose up. I lowered the end of the hose until water started to come out. Then I knew I was at the waterline. I wanted the strainer above the waterline, but just barely, so as not to require too much force to get water in. Other people have recommended placing the strainer below the waterline. I wanted it just above the waterline in case the gasket or cap failed, because I did not want the boat to flood while I was away from the boat. The strainer is a bit smaller than I'd like. I will upgrade soon to the larger size for better flow rate at higher RPMs. For now, I don't run the engine too high or very long, so the smaller strainer works just fine. But I will upgrade to the larger one soon. Thanks for the questions.

It was a private guy with a trailer. I went on UShip.com and posted my info, and I received a few bids right away. Post the info with dimensions of the boat, etc. My guy told me I was the maximum length and width he could haul with his low boy trailer. 60 ft is a big boat, and probably much wider than mine. I paid $1,600 or $1,800 I think. Yours would be more than that, as my boat is smaller and it was also a shorter trip. Plus I had to pay on both ends to have the boat lifted on and off. Let me know if you need any more info.
