Less so than when it's not intentional.
I wouldn't be too fast to blame the yard for not blocking it properly. You previously mentioned finding doors out of plumb so the incorrect...
Anybody who cruised on a destroyer will tell you about spending more time under water than above. I once ran down from Geotgetown to Charleston...
I don't even like staying at B&Bs cause I feel like I'm in a stranger's home, guarded. So I definitely wouldn't be one to charter a small boat...
Agree and I'd also prefer an OB for all those reasons and more, but Jets do have good points to consider such as swimmer safety and they take up...
Jets tend to be quieter and you've got no props hanging out if you get into swimming areas or shallows, but their motors take more interior space...
When you started with the boats of the 1950's it's very far fetched. One of the pleasures of a long life is to see what was once far fetched...
I never looked that up before, no need, but a bareboat charter is basically their boat so I'm surprised. Think that's followed at Haulover?...
That sounds more reasonable.
Now I know how my grandfather felt seeing jet airplanes after growing up with horse and buggy. My first thought in 'no way' which is quickly...
Correct. Is that new?
Even figuring only 2 lights for half the price that's expensive bling. 20% added to the price of boat and motor for 2 lights.
Legal bareboats can carry whatever the boat's capacity is...if you dare. It's their boat. But as you've pointed out before, they're cracking...
12 pax requires certification. So you're not going to do that legally with most boats in that size range. Most of those I've known who charter...
I hope lurkers will read the article or else they'll assume that's photoshopped. I've seen pictures and even film of that phenomenon before the...
There you go. And like Pascal pointed out even if you get a good repair it will probably become evident after it ages a couple years. That's why...
And the OP said he's looking at '90 to '94. Long before that.
Even earlier. I remember. My first fiberglass boat was a 1950 which we got in 1956. Lots of experimentation since then trying to build strength...
Real pretty boat btw. Safe bet if she wasn't kept in your family she'd be on the scrap heap by now. But if you take care of things along the way...
#3 looks the most serious. The other two NBD. But put a moisture meter to them and push on the deck to see if there's any delam or sponginess....
