Yeah, that would be another $60-$80k doable but “only” $11k for a bow thruster instead. Yeah, that is Lola, our water dog, we rescued her from a...
Did a cruise today, a bit windy but only 13-15 knots from the SE with a bit of fetch, see flag: [ATTACH] Easy peasy as wifey came along being...
Now looking at this product, a stern thruster that bolts on to the outboard cavitation plate, 2.5hp applying quite a bit of sideways force while...
Nice little thruster and probably a good solution for some boats. It may or may not work on my tub. Thx
No need to back out, the boats are launched Bow Out. Coming back from a trip I usually spin the boat around and with an East wind it is doable, at...
Here is the SideShifter solution, easy install and 1/2 proce, but not for me… [MEDIA]
Aye, that can be arranged, but don’t disappoint the ladies, they are reading this and they expect a happy ending. Bon Voyage:cool:

I know the Captain Ron movie well and I inspected a similar boat, a Taiwanese 51’ ketch, I considered buying it to start a charter/dive business...
Sorry, thought I mentioned it before, Back in every time hence you lose the bow in a good breeze and if the wind is really blowing, you can’t turn...
All lockers and the entire deck is molded, no access to the keel, any installation of a bow thruster means cutting fiberglass then installing...
The foam on the above is insulation for the locker boxes to keep ice and fish cold I guess.
Almost looks like a colonoscopy, unfinished and looks skinny[ATTACH]
Tool a few pics today. There is a narrow slit in the aft anchor locker bulkhead where I could jam my phone in a see the bilge of the bow area....
Ouch, Capt. Crunch?:confused:
Starting to rethink the whole now thruster project as it will certainly void the 10 year structural warranty if the stringers are in the way and...
Yes, for hire and they offered a happy docking, for you my friend :cool:
