DK about Yanmar. They've never had a reputation for owning up to problems, but we've filed a claim under "latent defect". It's been determined...
I was so waiting for that.:D
In that case you'll probably be fine with anything from a houseboat on up. The boats mentioned here are all of similar build quality and handling...
One caution about cruising at night, and especially coming back in from the ocean, the lights can get confusing. If you're in a populated area...
Sea trial these boats. Don't just look at the space. Go into a chop and take some waves on the quarter. That's where you'll find out if a boat...
Right you are. In fact all the way to Brownsville. Except south of Ft. Pierce: ("provides for a least depth of 12 feet from Norfolk, VA,...
There could be a crimped or blocked hose but that's unlikely. Fill your water tank so you're sure it's full. There's a deck fitting. If one of...
Things will cost what they cost and the money will be gotten. Just look at Greece if you think there's any choice. Heck, my cable bill just went...

I'm not in the Gulf, but anchoring up or even going on a drift a couple of miles off shore is nothing unusual. Fishing and commercial boats do it...
Sorry Dude, motorhead here.:D Besides, my wife laid down the law and I must now have at least a 20% chance of survival in my exploits. Short...
I'm inclined to agree with Marmot. That's why I asked about the size boat. I think someone may have said "opportunity to beach the boat",...
YES, most of us are probably familiar with using God's travel lift but have you actually heard it referred to as "beach the tide"? I've got...
In a Google search I saw several 1977 Carver Mariner 28' for sale, and it looks like you made a good deal. However, I read this Boat U.S. review...
Over 50 years in boating and that's a new one on me. The closest I can come is to 'watch the tide when you beach a boat'. How big of a boat are...
Find a captain from your area with a lot of experience running many different boats in the size/type you're considering. (You'll probably be...
Ah but it was. Blue Point is on the Great South Bay and Rockaway in on Jamaica Bay, both on LI's south shore. However, although I'm old, this...
Just ran into this: "Damage atop dams drops water levels near Albany Updated 06:11 p.m., Friday, September 2, 2011 ALBANY, N.Y....
I'm at this over 50 years recreationally and 23 years professionally. I learn something new every day out there, and faced my own mortality more...
Not quite NYC, but close. Oyster Bay, LI. Best clams were from Great South Bay (also no more), and then there's Peconic Bay Scallops. They're...
