Welcome to YF Danny. You've got every type of person you can imagine here, just as you do in the real world. You've got the rich, the poor, the...
First sit down with a captain over lunch. He'll help you narrow your parameters so you'll only be looking at a few types of boats. There...
I think you just told me where you dock. If I'm right you're dealing with good people. If you tend to run to the ocean for fishing I rec. the...
Pascal makes a very good point about servicability. I once got stuck on the outboard side of an engine on a 46 SR. Had to convince myself that I...
