Adding the Caribbean (i.e., beyond the Bahamas) adds significant boat requirements: sea worthiness (of course), but also tankage and...
OK, none of that wifey part was obvious to me from your earlier posts. And now it's still not obvious what kind of advice you're seeking. Does...
Your project is doomed unless you involve wifey from the git-go. That includes "whether to boat or not" -- not just what kind of boat (which only...
For the audience, we found that to be the case when we replaced the smaller 16K and 12K BTU Cruisair Stowaways with Dometic DTGs. The 27K BTU...
Thanks, for that link! Combo Mat, seems structural from the description, good to know about. I've only got another 60 or so "fixes" in the punch...
Yes, that's the diagram you gave me almost a couple years ago (thanks for that!). I think the diagram suggests the 550/58DB bottoms are solid,...
What brand? Who's "they"? -Chris
All the comments about CTM that I've seen have been positive... except some about their delivery packaging, which is apparently pretty shakey....
We've had OK success with replacement units from Dometic. "Turbo" (DTG or some such) units for 16K BTU and under. A different 27K BTU one more...
Yep, been there, done that... But some don't really intend to get out there. OP suggested their intentions are about The Loop, and AFAIK most of...
Yep, agree, important points, in that boat. -Chris
Yes, definitely good for potential buyers to have eyes wide open. Without regard to brand. Pascoe, in particular, was known for verbally...
I think some Riviera and Maritimo bridge boats have stairs... and although no longer really produced, there are (were) convertibles with stairs...
Seems a bit overly harsh. And Pascoe was known for diss'ing some brands for whatever reason, some maybe OK, some maybe just angst. There are a...
A Carver is usually an OK affordable boat. Not a battlewagon, but then they don't usually cost like a battlewagon, either. Pro: Carver puts a...
That must vary by location. Really high fixed docks? We're at a fixed dock, and we can't board over the side of the boat at high tide... have to...
Novurenia might give you some good info. Perhaps especially on what NOT to use. -Chris
Uuhhh... ??? Some makers, and some specific models, have better sidedecks and better railings than others. Eliminating a whole category (SF)...
Have you looked at the flybridge Sabres? Given a lottery win, I could be all over their 54 flybridge... -Chris
I'd guess that could happen without regard to brand. A 48 displaces what, 75% more than a 42? That's just a WAG, but I could see increased...
