I understand and have seen what you are talking about before on custom boats. But 5 years on a production boat!? That is an is a very long time...
Was it sold as a 2011 boat? If so, something smells fishy. I would be on the phone to the manufacturer right away. This could be something that a...
Is this a production boat? I'd say your friend should contact a surveyor and an attorney right away.
It's a Collinite product. #845 They call it insulator wax because it was/is used to coat high voltage porcelain insulators.
I prefer an open bridge or a skylounge with real glass windows and wipers. Next in order would be EZ2CY with a glass panel & wiper insert in it.
While it's good practice, if the boat is going to stay up in cold water and it's not had a blister problems so far, I'd be hard pressed to go to...
I like that idea too. In Fact I think I'll pick up a ring and some extra poly just in case I don't have a tube handy. :-)
Thanks. But like I said it wasn't my idea. :-) But I think you may still be underestimating the usefulness of a tube. The large ones are pretty...
I would not be in any hurry to change them out. Especially in this down market. Use them till they start to smoke at start up, then start using...
If they are reverse cycle units, a lot of times the valve that switches the units between heating and cooling gets stuck. Locate it and give it a...
I'll have to disagree on that. We tow a 23' Nautica with a 250 OB on it and it tows just fine with a bridle coming off it. And the soft sides make...
Yes of course it's easy in calm seas. I'm not concerned so much about a scratch but a broken bone or two. And no I'm not kidding about the tube. I...

I think you would be just fine if you use the correct equipment. I towed a 26' Contender behind my 42' GB from the west coast of FL to and...
A large sailing or power cat would work nicely in the Bahamas. Steady at anchor with shallow draft to go most any where and nice big cockpits in...
I'm glad you've had good luck with them. But after getting my Pro. Captains Services account setup with them I tried to place my first order with...
40 knots is just when I don't want my anchor to run out of holding power. A proper size Lewmar claw for a 70 foot boat with a lot of windage...
I agree. In test after test the "Bruce" (I put that in quotes because the original Bruce anchor is no longer made AFAIK. Just claw copys.) sets...
Here are some sites you may find interesting. http://www.ussailing.org/safety/Anchor/anchor_study.htm...
I vote Rocna as well. But the best all around rode setup is a combination of chain and line. You get the abrasion resistance and cantenary...
