After 35 years could you imagine starting over in another location, especially against the big box competition? Hear of new marine stores that...
Nice things about Carvers is that they're roomy, and that's important if you're going to spend long periods aboard (such as when doing the Great...
Actually I think this was a case of the property becoming too valuable. Patchogue is a town in the middle of a revitalization and the locals do a...
Actually more to do with big box stores swallowing up the competition. Politics aside it's a shame to lose stores like this where you could find...
Come on Jersey boaters. Judy could use a recommendation. Unfortunately the best I can offer is to suggest getting in touch with Staten Island...
For the past 35 years or so Patchogue, NY had a really good marine store where you could find products not carried by the big box marine store...
But there are a lot of new millionaires and even a few new billionaires. That's why I suggest a family chef and ....for a boating family. They...
Actually private situation like Olderboater is what I see as their best move. He as family chef and she could fill all sorts of needs. Just...
Normally 40 is getting a bit long in the tooth for starting a career in yachting ( although I was 38 so it can be done), but for where I see you...
I hate the sound of ice against the hull. Fun ride on the tugs though. They're cooking. Looks like they knew what the ship's hull could and...
Kudos for doing that deep a search. Next person won't have to search so far now.
DK how it is elsewhere, but the grapevine is pretty good here. Word goes out on bad owners. I remember one owner I refused to work for a 2nd...
Not the worst project boat I've seen, but I've also seldom seen a project boat worth what it would cost to make them right. So as a long term...
Fuel tank. Also check the exhaust couplings. had one blow on a Mann and it wasn't pretty. Everything else I can think of you're surveyor should...
Thanks. Learning here. I always dealt with smaller boats where I coached the negotiations and supervised the refits, and left contracts between...
A project manager is an excellent idea. I was assuming the captain / engineer would fill that position.
Sounds like a fancy (and wrong) way of saying For sale unless the ship was donated to an organization which is now selling it. Maybe it's a local...
I assume you're going to have a captain and possibly an engineer on this boat. They probably be the ones you want overseeing construction.
My view of new technologies is that first you make it work then you figure how to make it cost effective. If you can't then it's on to the next.
Might have to change your handle to Youngerboater.:D Nothing hokey about micro-mini skirts and hip-hugger jeans or groups like the Grateful...
