Yep, on boats there's always compromise. On the 56 we had one about 3' below a hatch in the VIP SR. Cost me a phone (breast pocket is a bad...
Yep those spots have always had issues. Add in I believe it's by 56A in Carolina Beach. I dinged a prop there one year in mid-channel. We had...
Excellent info
Ah but the galley and salon will be used every day. You're thinking like a boater, not a salesperson. That said though, in an emergency you have...
:( Yeah that sounds like a needed project.
All ours were Heinz 57's.:D First one a golden mix. Best temperament. Shannon, after the river in Ireland. Both captains here turned in our...
