We have a Walker Bay, but it's the Genesis RIB. The 10' Genesis (310FTD) isn't what I'd call lightweight; it's around 125-lbs. (Specs on their...
Ours are Cummins, hence the Restore (Fleetguard, I think) product. I removed the hose that runs from the heat exchanger to the exhaust elbow --...
Our engine maker recommends periodic draining/flushing/refilling the closed cooling system. The "flush" product they recommend is called Restore....
Our pump isn't in use when we're hooked up to a dockside water supply. If it won't pump from the onboard tanks... without regard to leaks......
Our dock neighbor in the next slip has a Maxum 4600 SCB. I can't speak much to the quality of the boat itself, but I can say that he has a...
Several owners in the club have that model, seem to like 'em. As with most other production boats, they're a system of systems: commonly sourced...
Tell her the flying bridge is the "bonus observatory" or similar. :) Our "convertible" might look like a fishing boat, partly because it is...
I can tell you about some Silverton models, but better is that there's a very active owners club, most models represented, and it's quite common...
We changed all our G4 bulbs with LED discs from marinebeam. Interior are "Force 12" warm white. Replaced the exterior (bridge) G4s with red...

Sure, more legit points. But there are hydraulic cockpit soles, easy engine access isn't difficult to engineer... etc. But your various...
I get your point... but at the same time, if I really thought I needed a 40' open boat of the CC persuasion.... I think I'd probably be looking...
Yeah, fair enough, but at the point where a CC (size, weight, shape, whatever) needs three or more outboards... is about the time I lose interest....
Sorta-kinda, maybe, possibly... or not, depending on who you listen to and circumstances at the time... and then it depends on whether you're...
Chances of wifey staying overnight aboard a 30-40' center console are lower than zip. A 35' convertible -- or maybe something like AMG's...
:)
I suspect the concept came from the time when powered windlasses weren't all that common on boats "real people" could afford... Maybe the same...
Our primary for this area is a pivoting SuperMAX; so far, lots of years, always good results. -Chris
We've always had good luck with our current primary anchor, we've also always had good luck with the Fortress, we don't have a second...
