We're small enough we can often get a slip on the public dock... but AYB is our go-to hot spare when necessary so we stay there occasionally....
If "DC/MD" includes Annapolis, Annapolis Yacht Basin is an option. -Chris
This is likely the feature that starts bringing boat sizes (hence, weights) up and speeds down. Unless you mean something like the "aft" (mid)...
You could look at Carver, Sea Ray, Cruisers, Maxum, Silverton, etc. aft-cabin "motor yacht" models, and maybe some of those brands plus Bayliner...
Oh, yeah.... I forgot about that... There's really only one active marina there now, on the east side of the ICW. Pleasant enough place to stay...

IF there's no in-line filter (or IF you remove it temporarily and replace with a filler section of hose)... and IF the holding tank is relatively...

I expect Sew Clean would have cleared the blockage, but it sounds like the hose is toast anyway... The original hose may well be fastened to...
Private-branded CH is the same product as Trac's Sew Clean, and I can tell you it works. I had our toilet discharge hose disconnected for a...
