Oh, this is so fun.
I was probably on the horizon of that shot. It was one nasty day out there, and eventually that dredge worked its way offshore and just sat nose...
I actually had mine water jetted into a piece of aluminum which I then plastered to a forward bilge bulkhead with 5200 and a clamp.
Can you do this while drinking?
Previous coverage that I had (prior to my current underwriter) required a named storm hurricane plan, and that plan included haul out. Now, what...
oh, and you're either going to need to leave FL doing hurricane season or have a contract for a haul out amidst a hurricane plan.
I'm a Burger, albeit not a 1964. I use Jeff Spector at Brown and Brown. Good folks. I've had some boats with age, and I've never been without...
Again, your buddy needs to be careful with his creation and advertisement of details. If the Seller wants to provide that information, terrific....
....and even then it's usually something simple along the lines of "a one hundred foot dock on deep water access". You certainly do not want to...

Well, I run with both a HD Flir for daytime and a thermal for nights. I rely heavily on radar, AIS, and my own eyes on the horizon, but having...
That's the ticket. Get them cleaned up and refinished. No need to replace something that's working well. These replacements are pricey.
I think it's fine to check these temps from time to time while running just as a general component of your ER inspection process, but if you...
I keep all of the information in the yacht hardback log at the helm. Once a month or so I pull maintenance items and enter them into an excel...
This. Your beam at your water line is typically less than the widest section of your boat at the cap rail. The really big question is tidal and...
Meh. Let fiberglass boats just sit for 5 years, and you'll find a rash of issues. Boats must be used and maintained. If your aluminum boat is...
I've owned both. I have completely rebuilt or refitted both. I know them both like the back of my hand. I was leery of not knowing enough about...
Really all depends on the weather and tidal conditions of the marina. I use a slip somewhere that is perhaps 20+ feet wide with an 18.6 beam....
