Yep, there are those, and a lot of them today. What I refer to as stupid money. It comes easy so wasting it doesn't matter. As you might guess...
That's about how I see it as well. "there are dry racks sold in Dania for $35-90,000, maintenance is only $140 per month and rentals are $900 or...
I was just wondering if Dock-Ominiums were still happening in Florida after the crash of 2008. I can't think of a worse investment (for the slip...
I'm currently watching an episode of NOVA about acidity in the ocean caused by the same things (mainly carbon dioxide) as Global Warming, and it's...
It's a potential problem with any "fiberglass" boat. The problem comes in with smaller / older / less expensive boats that may not justify the...
