For sportfish boats in my area, it's pretty common to have a paid captain for boats over 55 ft, but honestly I think it's more to do with the...
Apologies. I'll try again. Price is $350 plus shipping. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I have a Side Power Thruster Remote kit (RC21-U) listed on Ebay. Controls bow thruster and windlass. Like new condition. Let me know if you...
Cool thing is thing is that you have a clear picture of what you want based on a similar vessel. I agree that a ladder to the swim platform is a...
If you go with the shutters, buy the "roll up" type, either manual or electric. I have a couple of buds with the removable aluminum panels....
Unless the ownership changes, I would think the customer experience would be fairly consistent in a given yard. In my construction business,...
Last I heard, Lightning Yachts in Beaufort had closed, but Bill is often on the Hull Truth website. He has a similar user name. You can find him...
My take on Nautistyles is that it's entertaining and well produced. They do not profess to be experts on any of the vessels that they review....
Ross- Thanks for posting. It takes time, which is not always in surplus when you're underway. In June, I purchased a 48 Maritimo lying Marco...
I've had two "odor incidents" since I've owned my boat. Number one was caused by a clogged vent in the waste tank. Pressure built in the tank...

I don't have a Post 42, but my Mikelson 43 is close. I think your costs are realistic, based on my five-year average. As you know, the service...
I don't personally know of any boat share arrangements, but it's common for small planes. Small plane operating agreements might be a good start...
Mikelson 50's and 57's are sportfish boats with good cruising features. Most have stairs to the flybridge. Lots of interior volume for their...
I could not find a leak in my inflatable, despite numerous attempts in my garage using soapy water (same thing tire techs use). As a last ditch...
Realizing that this is a "big boat" website, I'll mention that 10 years ago Sea Hunt began installing dive doors or side gates in their 27 ft....
Check out the Mikelson 43's and 50's. Great combination of sportfish performance with safe bow access and stairs to the flybridge. Most have...
