Thank you all for the input. It's not like I am able to pick out a boat based on whether it has a sea chest or not. It seems like some...
thank you for the link - I had searched but didn't pick this up.
Title pretty well sums it up. I have never owned a boat that had sea chests. Are they beneficial? How would you describe the benefits....
I agree. My MTU displays had faded. I used Sturdy, they offered either a rebuild or replacement. This was a year or so ago, the replacement...
I have a video that the diver took. Couldn't post it due to the size of the file. Not sure if net cutters would have helped in this situation....
Recently had a bit of a performance problem. Left the fuel dock where we spent the night and headed out. Things just were not right. Kind of...
My boat can throw a pretty good wake - thus I am very mindful of it. We try not to run on the ICW - but sometimes with weather we will. Lot's...
We enjoy Longboat, much more so than the marina across the bay by downtown. Nothing wrong with Marina Jacks, well run place - just we like the...
I had not seen the article or announcement. Guess I am scratching my head. For all the Ian damage in the area the marinas with floating docks...
A friend with 5ft draft told me about going there. Loved Tween Waters, then he realized he was sitting on the bottom in the slip at low tide....
I will jump in, we are located on the west coast of FL, somewhat familiar with it. We love Long Boat key also. Have not been south of Venice...
Start with some charters. There is a great place in the PNW we have used in the past, Northwest Explorations I think. They supply a captain...
Your traveling in a long (10+miles) winding stretch of the ICW with a fairly narrow channel. For the most part 25 in the channel. You look up...
When my Marquis 59 was going through survey prior to our purchase the trim tab cylinders were leaking. The previous owner changed the trim tabs...
I do not care for this. I also do not like the idea of the sides of the boat sliding out at the touch of a switch. Guess I am "old school".
Not trying to be smart, but it got there somehow. Had to be on a truck. I know a couple of people who have moved large SR's by truck. Fly...
Thank you all for your supply delivery efforts. Well done.
Our boat lives in Clearwater. Finished up prep work on Monday prior to the causeway shutting down. Power never went out on the dock and we...
Guessing that what you are seeing is that there is still a few people updating information in Active Captain, but nothing like before. I was an...
Active Captain is not as good as it used to be. It's value was always in the fact it was crowd sourced with lots of current updates, now not...
