3196 660 hp Cat diesels-Are they reliable?

All good ideas folks. I'm thankful for the information. I'll be doing some homework next week as this Friday, (weather permitting) I'm off to Danfords on the LI Sound in Port Jeff. As this is just a discovery tour of the Sound I'll be going nice & slow to take in the sights. I wonder how many times I can have a good dinner in 3 days?

Sure will, as soon as I look up where that is?
If you're in the area & you'd like to stop over for a drink my pleasure. Danford I hear is small so I'm easy to find.

The challenges we boaters face are not appreciated by the landlocked.

Pace's Steakhouse is excellent, put that restaurant on your list for sure.

I agree on Pace, as well as Pasta Pasta

WE have a new restaurant in Huntington named 'PRIME' they 'only' charge $3.00 per ft per hour[:-bigeyes] while you spend more money on the food & bar bill
 
So for you it's a $150 an hour to dock????

What the heck are they thinking. My bet is that dock will be empty 98% of the time.

Jonathan
you got it!
so it would add $300.00 to my tab if I stayed for a couple of hrs

So my answer is to spend the money(or less)on fuel and run to Louies in Pt Washington
 
Louie's is a great place, your right, better to run the boat, get some hours on it and spend your money over there.

Wow, at that price they must serve Prime Rip Steak
 
OK, so far I have Paces Steakhouse, Pasta Pasta & Louies in Port Wash. That's great info as it will cover my 3 dinners for Friday night -
Remember Ed Norton of the Honeymooners? It's late to eat as I already had dinner so maybe I'll just have an early breakfast. Now there are 250 channels with nothing on.

PS Are any of these places a dock & dine? I'd love to go by boat.

They wouldn’t get to see my smiling face so it clearly works to keep the riffraff out.
 
Detroits are also usually rust free

Louies is a dock and dine. Space can be at a premium during dinner. If they are full, Lamottas is to north of them but I've heard not as good.

Wave as you pass Hempstead Harbor as well.

Bruce - mine don't leak half as bad as that ;-)

Not yet LOL!!!

They all leak. Show me one that doesn't.

Jonathan
 
I have one blower gasket and three inspection plates that drip. That will be rectified during layup.

In my mind it's like anything else, keep up with it, don't ignore it and it doesn't become an issue.
 
You will always chase leaks on a Detroit. It's good that you do chase them, but they will always leak somewhere.
