Not condescension, just good natured sarcasm. But in all seriousness I'd be real careful about putting 300 lbs plus my 190 on the 4x8 marina work...
It's time to ask your marina to get real dock carts if they can't handle 282 lbs. Taylor Made are rated for 300...
As long as you check the weather I'd say you could do it in almost anything. Knew one guy who made almost weekly runs to Bimini in his little Sonic.
So they're going to do it. Glad at least that they're requiring masks, but walking around in that heat with a mask all day sounds way less than...
The kind who doesn't own the $1.5M boat, hires on by the day and who rarely has a need to anchor.
Thinking back to my youth (when I was 50) I remember hauling the chain from the 70' crew boat I ran up on deck with another guy. paying it out,...
Thought you said "no excuse". ;) Used to run a 60' Sunseeker whose windless continually popped the breaker. A few times I had to haul the whole...
Oh good. I thought maybe the Florida sun made people weak.:cool: And I agree. I've become a whimp since I retired. Lazy. It happen when you...
I dare say even retired and 70 I could still handle 5 times that.
1.41 lbs. per foot x 12' = 16.92 lbs. Split by 2 people. REALLY??? Us NY'ers have a different idea what's hard and what's not.
200' of chain is a lot of weight. 5' or 10' of chain isn't. One person on the bow and one on the dock and that chain will be in a dock cart in...
I have limited experience with Sealine having only spent a summer captaining a 42 but thought I'd give you what little I can. It handled fine but...
I have met with Roger, used his advice and had him aboard for transiting the canal, and I second everything you say. He even hooked me up with a...
Blue Bird needs a smaller flag.
More likely the abrasion is chain against chain as it goes in and out of the locker. If WM's warranty doesn't cover "bad batches" what does it...
Actually I'd coat it with vegetable oil (no pollution when it goes in the water) in the locker to dispel the moisture and protect it from the air....
That's pretty ugly, but it looks like electrolysis.
Or even have it chromed.:rolleyes:
Good luck with the survey. If the deal goes through please go along on the transport. Once in a lifetime opportunities only come around once.
Every time you pay it out it's chain against chain in your locker followed by hanging in salt water, and then back to chain against chain in the...
