Rib inflatables are a real bear to keep clean. The tubes start leaking air after 5 years and are basically high maintanence. They also need to...
I'm just saying to take their rating of holding power and multiply it by 60% and that's about what I would go with.
You can head south and anchor up in the bay near Elliot Cay and it has a very Island feel to spend the night on anchor and to launch all of the...
Also, putting a dinghy and crane on the bow will most likely make 2 of the hatches un-usable. Also if you have 3 deck hatches, but nowhere for the...
Forget the fortress anchor, it's too light and in any current has trouble hitting the bottom unless you have a lot of chain behind it. Plus the...
The problem you're failing to realize, is there is only 1 or so deck hatches on the foward deck for airflow and chances are if you're in the ocean...
Why don't you just weld bent pipes to the railing that the life ring fits on? You want to put a cheap lifering holder on a police boat?????? Why...
I don't know about catering to the 60-80' crowd. They don't stock any docklines about 5/8" or any large fenders, and virtually nothing 24 volt in...
It depends, sometimes you can get away with cleaning the caulking on the outside and re-caulking the outside without pulling the windows and...
How smooth is it on a 54' SF that does 10.5 knots with both engines in gear and at idle? I used it on a larger hatteras MY and wasn't very...
Check with Viking. I know CABO installs a heavy duty Aluminum plate in the deck of all of their boats when they're built, with the intention of...
I agree, the selection at West Marine is poor. It seems West Marine mainly caters to trailer boats and not yachts. Try to find 24 volt bilge...
Yes and cleaning products. If they have a West Marine branded cleaning product they won't have other brands such as Orpine. They tend to push...
The gen should get serviced every 200 hours. I'd recommend getting a second one if the boat can be ordered with 2. I'd skip the twin disc...
Yeah, a livewell can usually be installed fairly easily.
You can use the fast cure, if temps are low. 5200 will also cure under water as well. The tube of 4200 I have right here says above the...
I think seafire's are un-servicable and the only thing they check is the gauge on the bottle. They also should check the manual over-ride...
It sounds like you are looking for a motoryacht with a cockpit. Sportfish by design have easy access to the water from the cockpit so you can...
I used a spray product I think it's called DeBond, that is made for removing 5200 and softens it up quite a bit, that and a good razor knife. It...
