Hi Mark. I love scrolling thru this forum but only thought to become a member now. I am looking at buying an ENO stove. I see you have one. My husband wants a force 10 but I never find many good things about it and since I will be the one in the galley then it's ENO We have a skye 51 and the stove cutout is TINY!!! I can either fit a force 10 compact or ENO. Do you like your ENO? Which one do you have? Can't seem to find the differance between the models. Does the grill take up all the oven space. It looks TINY! Hard to get parts? I see that ENO bought out Force 10 so I'm hoping parts will be easier. We are refitting our boat and plane to be full time cruisers this summer, starting in the bahamas. Thanks for your time and hope to hear back from you. Carly

Great to you posting again on CF

Recently watched the "girl with dragon tattoo" series and loved it. I've told all my friends to rent them as well. Your a lucky dude. Movie Star & out there living my dream on the water. Anyway, I'm now a big fan of your's.

I was looking at the way you have your panels attached. Could you tell me where I could find some of those bracket? Thanks. I put a mount together but want brackets I can adjust easy. I like the kind that goes on grills but high $$$. Thanks for your time.

Good afternoon Mark (assuming it's afternoon where you are!). My name is Phil Kaiser, and I am in the "market" for a boat that my wife, daughter and I can cruise. We plan to start in the caribbean to "get a feel", and then branch out from their... West or East, depending on our comfort level. One of the "short listed" boats we are looking at is th 393. I was wondering if you had the time/inclination to discuss with me what you do/don't like about the boat, what you might do different, etc. Thank you in advance for your time. Phil kaiser

The rubber 'drip-less' seal/boot now just emits a very fine mist when running - probably a thimbleful an hour. Thanks for the tip. I have disconnected the hose that feeds water to the stern tube and have a Beneteau repair kit on order. Really happy now it stays dry.

Yeah that's the place all right. I'll give it a try - want to keep a dry & clean bilge here on the river. Thanks for the tip!

The seller was very conscientious. There was a slight leak at the shaft drive (I guess its lubricated with water and has it's own through hull). He had it fixed, and in the course the mechanic end-up breaking one part and noticing corrosion in the piston head. He ended up replacing a number of engine parts in the process and spent a tidy sum making sure it was A-OK. There's still a small leak at the shaft but at least its been looked at by a pro and will suffice until the next engine service.

Well it's named Lone Star, somewhat appropriate for someone such as me. Wotname might take a sail with me and lend some support.

Enjoyed your single-handling video. Thanks for writing back,

Mike
