Can I use Ultra Low Sulfer Diesel in my 1981 marine diesel engine without damage? If not, what is the solution

Check out the website for a boat called "Idlewild" It is a 50 footer designed by George Buehler that just completed a circumnavigation. I believe it is now for sale. Also check out Nordhavn Boats. They range in size from 40' to 86' and are all capable of crossing oceans. Also Diesel Duck, Krogen, and DeFever. These are the powerboats I know of. There are many sailboats that cross oceans.

When a boat is registered under the "full British ship's registry" in England, why do they quote 64/64 shares

Have a look on findafishingboat.com Get a cheap ocean going fishing boat, with a trans-atlantic range, refuel in Yankee Doodle land, hope down the coast, or through the intercoastal until you get to the Caribbean, maybe refuel again, go across the caribbean and through the Panama canal, fuel again, cruise up the West coast, fuel where necessary...
Alternatively do what plenty of nutters do and, row across/sail across/swim across, and make the challenge harder by once hitting the USA walk from East to West. Nutter...

A Cruise ship that'll fit through the Panama canal

Water in oil 2001 90 hp 4 stroke outboard?

That is a long way and is roughly half way round the world so you might as well go all the way. If you are on your own use a thirty five foot sailing boat but make a few modifications for storing food and water. If money is tight buy a long keel boat made in the 1980's like a Rustler. Expect to progress at about six knots an hour. Carry a load of tools - you will need them. Go via the Azores and keep well away from Africa as there are pirates up to a 100 miles off shore. Nip round Cape Horn with your fingers crossed. It should be pleasant going up the West coast of America

Force outboard?

6 hail marys and Professor have two totally different answers that are both ( mostly) right..a old fishing boat with large diesel tanks can get you across the Atlantic ( WARNING Do NOT try to go straight across from Scotland to Canada...prevailing winds and currents against you; in fall and winter its the stormiest ocean in the world and even the Royal and US Navies lost plenty of ships to weather in WW2 up there) via the Azores, then Bermuda, then down to the Caribbean, through the Panama Canal, up the West Coast....that's about 12,000 miles; at, for fishing trawler/trawler yacht about 3 gallons a mile...yes gallons/mile! that's 30,000 or so gallons at 3.50 US a gallon..call it $100,000 US in fuel..

I want to change the gear ratio in my lower unit. 1994 60 hp. big foot series..motor is on a small bass boat.


alternatively, buy a sailboat and sail over...you might not use 200 gallons between Scotland and LA, using the winds and currents as sailors have done for 500 years...down to the Azores then the Cape Vedes Islands. downwind across to the Caribbean, thru the Canal; a long jog out towards Hawaii then a shot back in..once again about 12,000 miles at 120 miles a day..100 days under way, time in port for resupply and adventure....figure a year ...sounds like fun DO IT!

I think I have bad fuel in on old chrysler 35hp outboard. How do I change it?

First of all you don't "drive" a boat. That being said and taking into account that you obviously don't know a thing about boating I suggest you book passage on a cruise ship or get on an airplane.

What kind of jobs are out there for a OUPV license captain?

I would recommend a 6 foot dingy with one oar power. I have personally used one of these several times in my Trans-Atlantic and Pacific trips. They are great in rough water and will break up any ice bergs you might hit. Make sure you allow 3 to 4 days for the trip. I have found you will need about 5 to 6 strokes of the oar per hour to maintain a 15 knot speed.

Which is better Turtle Wax Ice or Meguiars NXT Wax?

The usual kind ... USA 'boomer' or attack class nuclear boat.
