Learn how to fix a generator! Seriously the more hands on a boat that can help out when things go wrong the better.
I wouldn't think Luo marine would take a small window blister job. I could be wrong but I bet they won't touch small stuff.
Good reminder to do those expensive fire recertifications. Most policies require. We just had ours done for a whooping $2400. Every year. Not...
It’s amazing how frequent these large center consoles swap out engines. Seems that most of the 40+ center consoles swap out engines as soon as...
Good to see Hydrasport doing it outside of FL. They boats were packed at FLIBs. I have a smaller 33’ hydra and the ratio to fun vs pain in the...
Carl - I was looking forward to meeting you! Perhaps next time... but that will require buying another boat as we got multiple offers at the last...
I loved the fd85. The outside is very modern but the entire space is amazing. 5 staterooms and crew for four that is legit. 23 foot beams helps a...
I’m flying into the show tonight but our boat is near las Olas and the crew just sent a fun picture. Hot tub should be nice after hours! [ATTACH]

I will say they have a service branch in Ft Lauderdale who was ordered parts and is on board now replacing and recalibrating. Amazing support via...

She was at pier 66 on Friday and looking good.
It was Kobalt electronic controls. New 'card' going in on Thurs plus recalibration.
Thanks Ralph... I have head about this other pump... Size of a beer can? Someone else recommended looking at this and that they were relatively...
Probably only 900 -1100.......RPM... So thats another issue to tackle. These are 1997 Engines so not the 3412E.. They do have an electronic...
