I just rigged a 110 Boston Whaler and it was a great boat/tender. We put a 40hp Mercury 4 stroke on it because everyone reports the 25hp won't...
I always wondered what the graveyard of half dismantled boats were at the end of the seaway in Port Colborne. I thought they just parked them...
What about a shadow boat. Not really Yachtie looking, but has a heli pad, plenty of toy storage, plenty of range, and should be able to do 15 knots.
There is about 10% markup on electronics total. What's the purpose of cutting out the middle man, who will generally give you free advice as well...
There also is one of the origional guys making brand new ones, and I think they've got the HP up to 260. They're also electronic diesels now. I...
It's really nice to hear members getting helped out by other members. I've met a few (and helped) members from YF's and everyone has been a...
It sounds like you should know what the boat would cost to maintain if you're an engineer. BUT, what the other poster is saying is if you spend a...
I think going to a prep school is very not necessary. He is IN the Coast Guard, his peers will go over what he needs to know if he asks, so the...
I can attest that I've seen many boats with 7-10 year old Mastervolts that are still functioning fine.
It could be the gauges also. The factory carvery gauges are made by Faria, which don't last long and do things like you're describing when...
Is that the restaurant in the little house that's about 200-300 yards from the Yacht Basin? It used to be painted pink? If so, yeah the food is...
To elaborate, they run on one bank (side) of the motor, the right bank. That is until they start building just a touch of boost pressure, then...
Beufort docks are nice, but don't overlook Morehead City, not the City marina but all of the marina's in that canal. It's a great area as well...
That's really cool to see a ship owner do the unthinkable and unchartered. As well as saving fuel and carrying more cargo. It's a big risk but...
I ran a 2001 a couple of times. The boat had a nice layout. It had a hardtop only and it seemed to rock and roll a lot while drifting. Aside...
Less risky, and some insurance companies require it. Also the liability is on the tow company and not the yachts insurance. A tug on the front...
I agree. I ran a swift 44' trawler from the Miami show up to Stuart, I think 2 years ago. We we're in a 3-5' beam to aft quarter sea. That...
Aside from KeyWest. 1. Exumas- Staniel Cay up to Highbourne- beautiful, a wide variety of things to do (but all nature related) 2. Charleston,...
I installed a set of Hella LED interior lights, and didn't like they at all. They oscilated quite a bit and it was very noticable to the eye....
I think the biggest issue with the larger Searay's not selling well in the past 5 years is the change in styling as much as it is the...
