Actually the inspiration wasn’t the movie, I noticed that later. It came from my wife’s ex who in a phone call about their daughter said… who do...
Back in 2010 we bought a little 12’ classic catboat and named it Sabrosa which is one of these words that’s hard to translate from Spanish. Then...
It doesn’t sound like much. I would say 3” minimize, at least that is what the Bennett do on my 53.
Nope. It s almost impossible to get dredging permits in sofl. It’s like Hawks Marina on duck key… even more shallow and they can’t dredge. At...
I don’t agree. Some ships like the QM and the UNited States are worth saving even if just as static attractions. It s part of history and in...
Once you hit 70’ or so, using spring lines puts quite a bit of stress on dock cleats and even pilings so a bow thruster is starting to make sense....

The only ball park number I ve heard when it comes to ownership cost on used boats is 10% of the boat value, which like all such formula is not...
If you want to use it underway the only antenna that’s approved is the $2500 High Performance antenna. SL has been sending emails to folks using...

One correction to my original post, it appears the $1000 custom fee is charged by customs and not by the marina since the Bahamian government has...
Yes you still need to get the CBP sticker although they don’t check the number when you enter it in the Roam app :).
120 degree in the ER set off alarms for us. Why would you want it so hot? 70-80 degrees should be plenty hot. Maybe even 60.
I wouldn’t cut a new fitting into the tank but Tee in the filler hose near the tank. the check valve is a good point but I don’t think I have...
We go there with the 110 once in a while. Tight but well marked. Must have had a mechanical failure at high tide
Not sure where you are located but this is the MTU guy who rebuilt our 16V2000s. his name is Philip, good guy, he may know where to find it...
Quicklift has been out for a few years now so I don’t know how long they ll have parts. Their sister company Chockmaster is in business though.
