We change out the Racor filters at about 100 hours and the secondaries on the engine at 200. We did change the Racors before crossing the Gulf Stream both ways just in case.<br /><br />Yes, I do believe that a larger boat would be slightly more comfortable in a seaway, but we traveled with larger boats that had as uncomfortable a ride as we did unless they had stabilizers. With these boats, picking the right wind and sea conditions are very important, but the biggest problem we encountered was not being able to get accurate forecasts from pretty much any source.Chuck and Susan;https://www.blogger.com/profile/04844233452744671062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5665070556831726952.post-43881776230819597812013-05-21T12:41:53.360-04:002013-05-21T12:41:53.360-04:00Capt Chuck, Did you do any engine maintenance such...Capt Chuck, Did you do any engine maintenance such as oil and filter change out during any of this cruise? What about Fuel Filter change outs?<br /><br />DO you think a larger boat would have been more comfortable? Mine is 40 foot and I wonder if the stability would be a tad better with some of the winds you encountered.MR T's Haircuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07438865509732358855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5665070556831726952.post-21880716479387187632013-05-08T06:22:42.668-04:002013-05-08T06:22:42.668-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Chuck and Susan;https://www.blogger.com/profile/04844233452744671062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5665070556831726952.post-35771121457813082692013-05-08T06:22:36.643-04:002013-05-08T06:22:36.643-04:00Many thanks for the offer.

Anyway, hopefully can get the chance to buy you a beer/lunch when you pass through by Oriental. Tom and Bess are 3 slips down from Deb and I. We've all enjoyed the tales of your travels and Tom keeps applying your project writings, then being sure to let me know :). (I've got some catching up to do!)<br /><br />Anyway, safe travels!<br /><br />Ben/Deb in Oriental<br />on Sand Castle<br /><br />Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02132166891893048907noreply@blogger.com
