Re: Atomic4 Blues

My first thought is failing coil. Do you have EI? Does the engine die slowly, sputtering or instantly as if you turned off the key? You may want to also post on the Moyer site Moyer Marine Atomic 4...

Re: $6,600 to rebuild Atomic 4? replace/rebuild

Another thing to consider in this decision is. How are you going to use the boat? A tired functioning A-4 is just fine if only needed to get you out of the slip and into open water. Whole different...

Re: Many cruisers with documented vessels can not enter FL legally.

I have a documented boat. No state registration #. I pay taxes on the boat in NC and the hailing port is in Tn. So will I be in violation if I cross into Fla waters? Dan S/V Marian Claire
