Boats have become increasingly bigger over the years and often ridiculously expensive because they are loaded with stuff that a not really needed....

Yes storage is important as our toy storage on the Lazzara is at capacity :). And that’s after i added a large locker inside the starboard...
Great feed back!! Thanks again. I rarely ask for advice here but this shows why YF is nr 1 My concern about going 34 or more is that it will be...
Thanks for the feed back. In the Exumas we spend most of the time on the hook so moving the boat is no big deal except for the toys. So yes we...
I ve always liked the styling of the Scouts been reading on the 350s. Apparently the 2015 and up have fewer issues but the big one seems to be...
The biggest challenge beside the cost is finding the place. Very difficult on some boats.
Starting to look at a towing a center console behind the 84 Lazzara I run for trips to the Exumas. The 15’ Walker Bay rib is great and we ve had...
Amazing how every thread you jump in turns into an argument.... so you re admitting that dumping condensate in the bilge will require cleaning...

“Let it drain in the bilge” ? Hell no... it should drain overboard or in a sump A/C removes humidity and keep it dry.
Snowflake....
There are a number of monitoring system. for connectivity you can get a stand-alone cellular modem with your favorite carrier. We have a...
There was one next to us in Staniel yesterday. Very flashy, nice beam. The amount of stainless steel on that boat is way over the top and...
A foot of beam is worth 10’ of LOA... so dockage cost is why most euro boats are so narrow? problem with Hatteras is that it took them forever to...
Marvairs were very good. Made in the Us until domestic bought them out. I had bought one a few years ago when one of my old split had failed. I...
