Good to hear that. I love my small Navigator 7x30, and it's by far the bino I use more regularly even if my main tool is a stabilized 14x Fujinon,...
Are you positive that they didn't actually replace it with a new one? It's surprising that for them it's more economical to rebuild something so...
Bingo. BTW, many folks are attracted by express style boats not so much because of speed or better handling, but rather for the "open air" appeal....
Looks familiar? :D [IMG]
When it comes to personal preferences, each to their own, of course. But 'fiuaskme, as an office/liveaboard boat I can think of many better...
I believe they used to build either a 57 or a 64, in that size bracket. But I agree, one of their 64 which I've seen was indeed well built. OTOH,...
Yep, I've seen A.F.Theriault & Son abbreviated as AFT in other occasions, so I just took that for granted. But apologies for the wrong spelling of...
CDG, Columbus is one of the larger CHs as I recall, built neither at AFT nor Cantor, right? Pictou, maybe? Never seen one anyway, but I take your...
I believe all the (very few) CH 60 were built by Theriault, which is a good pedigree. I wasn't equally impressed by Cantor construction instead,...
If you don't mind shipping to Italy, and if the parts are in good working conditions, I'm interested in the wind display+vane. Possibly with their...
Well, on a 2014 boat that's not so normal. Waddumean "have to be done", is that because you don't like them, they were abused, or what?
Arneson drives are actually the only thing I wouldn't be worried about, because there's none on that boat. OTOH, it's easy to guess that those...
If you mean the flybridge model of the late 90s, what you are experiencing is not surprising at all. But as a material for the refitting, you...
I would rather say that the opposite is odd. Sailboats are hands down the most logical choice for anyone seriously interested in long distance...
If she's the one in Pascal link, while reading it my first thought was that $79,500 is actually too low. That is, the owner should pay me more to...
Absolutely. I heard quite a few owners of IPS powered boats calling the marina and ask to send ribs to push them in their berth, because the...
Zero interest to dismiss Ultra, Rule, or anything else. But I've yet to come across a bilge-specific switch that can hold a candle to magnetic...
+1. I was also somewhat scared by some of the posts in this thread, but I refrained to comment for two reasons: First, I'm more familiar with...
Only been at FLIBS once, ten years ago, and I hated every awfully crowded days of it. OTOH, I actually enjoyed the nights I spent there. I mean,...
In a boat where the AP can't handle any kind of sea better than the helmsman, my first thought would be to fix the AP (and/or understand how to...
