Agree 100% Agree 100% Yes I did read the report, and your rudeness won't change my opinion. It was a hunk of junk being moved by the crew....
You're talking about commercial / passenger vessels. That's an entirely different world. Bounty was closer to a recreational vessel when she...
Unless things have changed since the '90s when I cruised the waters around Ft. Lauderdale 7 days a week I have to disagree with your view of...
Bounty lost her certification to carry passengers. She was basically a floating museum. Guests were only alowed aboard while dockside. So it...
Actually I agree with the broker. Not that I'd cross a boat off my list just because it's a Florida boat, but I'd be a lot more suspect of it....
I've known too many owners who knew or understood precious little about their boats mechanical condition, nor did they care as long as it didn't...
Motorcycle season and boat season are indeed the same, with the same selling/buying situation. You're wrong about "a market that has never been...
Can anyone think of a way that captain could have screwed up that he didn't cover? One bad decision after another after another.
First, it's 3 feet-itise. So don't go for a 40. ;) Think I told you the story of my lawyer with his "5 year plan" when they bought the 42 when...
Hi Dave. Welcome to YF. Care to give us a little more info, i.e. are you selling her, looking for her, have some pictures to share? I'm afraid...
You can get most of what you need at Home Depot or any hardware store. The transom shower (assuming that's what you want) can be gotten through...
Plus 1+. I belong to the AGLCA. These are people doing some serious cruising (6,000 miles+). Many are retired and living aboard on fixed...
The best enclosure is glass, but that's expensive, heavy and requires a frame. Of the more pliable panels EZ2CY is best, but it's expensive and...
Actually it was bTMI. :D. I was referring to your hesitation to use EZ2CY. Are you considering a full glass enclosure Isinglass or .....? It...
You could have them flip up or slide behind one of the side panels. Good stuff. I'd recommend that you hinge in vents for those days when you...
Come on Carl. We all know that the best boat in the world is the one your friend owns (let him have the expense and hassles. You show up with...
Right now get whatever experience you can. Most of it'll probably be maintenance experience at this time of year there. On your day's off walk...
Always follow your instincts. When you get that little voice in the back of your head, listen to it. There are more boats than buyers.
When you have money every relationship is suspect. If my wife married me or my friends are with me for my money, they've been sorely...
Or you're a Congress person and can legally trade on insider information. :rolleyes: The fact is you get rich the same way you get poor; a...
