All right, just throwing out some fish bate here but I see one thing that may be wrong in your mods list.

TMO_Update_20_to_21 should be immediately after TMO_2.
Don't know if this is your problem? It may be the deck gun or SJ radar mod.

What it sounds like is a boat upgrade problem as it happens on the same date and the game was very stable up to then. I don't know if TMO_Update_20_to_21 changes upgrades?

I don't like anything in program files folder but as you are running XP that should not be a problem. With Vista or Win 7 it is.

According to Duci Webster's Ship Maneuvering Fix dose not work well with TMO, nerfs some of his settings I think. Doubt that this would cause your problem.

Just fishing here, maybe we'll catch something or not.
