It looks like you're talking about a boat weighing 40-50,000 lbs. The conversion you're talking about could easily put 2,000 lbs. or more up top...
Last night I saw one of the best practical jokes I'd ever seen pulled on a captain. Some of you may have seen it and will enjoy reliving the...
I hope somebody has alerted this captain about this thread. If these allegations are true this is very disturbing. If they are not it is even...
Very valid concern. This is why I've cautioned buyers for years against buying boats with limited local networks. I am thoroughly impressed with...
We do get way too personal with our boats, don't we?:D My wife has been known to get jealous.
