Re: Product on Recreational Boat

You'll be about as welcome as a swarm of hornets where I have my boat.
Boating is all about enjoying the elements & natural environment. If you want "NOISE" don't go boating. JMHO

Re: 92-year old Navy veteran on boat delivery.

Reading these responses proves there are a lot of thoughtful, caring people who believe as I do, that age is not the deterrent, it's mobility. If you can help him deal with that, then by all means...

Re: Do you pay for true LOA?

I have a boating friend who would never admit to lying, but he's been known to say: "I'm a bit of a bull-shi**er myself . . . but do go on with your story"

Re: Is This Really What An Inexperienced Skipper Gets?

Keep in mind, the big briny treats everyone equally. That's when you might chance to see those who believe they are 'better' than others suddenly find themselves in trouble. Yes, it happens to all of...

Re: Do you pay for true LOA?

The marina where I keep my boat uses 'finger docks' which will accommodate boats of various lengths. I believe we all pay the same rate. If that is so, why would they care how long your boat is? I...

Re: Karcher usage for boat cleaning

I purchased a 'SIMONIZ' 2,000psi light duty electric power washer specifically to clean my boat, including the teak Deck. Nothing wrong using it on the teak as long as you use the widest angle nozzle...

Re: Importing a Canadian built boat to Canada

Just to keep things nautical; Methinks you meant to say "25 NM (nautical miles)" to your check-in destination. The term 'KNOTS' being a measurement of speed . . . but I'm sure you knew that.

Re: Question about anchor chain size. 10MM to inches...

Better still, do what I did; If you're able to visit the marine store to make your purchase, remove the gipsy & take it with you to find a chain that fits perfectly.

Re: Buying and selling a sailboat

WELL; It seems I'm not the only one to determine many would-be buyers can be objectionable. Also, what's with saying sellers should be more "realistic"? Does that person mean a seller should always...

Re: Eliminating the 1-2-Both-Off Battery Switch

Re: From CNN: Several passengers hurt as cruise ship tilts when hit by sudden 115 mph

To call these cruise ships "streamlined" is surely a stretch of the imagination? maybe from fore or aft but from the side? Nothing short of a huge flat wall. UGLY is what I would call 'em. Also, with...

Re: Bottom Paint Color. Does it matter?

My marina provided two choices . . . BLACK . . . take it or leave it.
One of my marina neighbours told me he likes black because fish tend to gather under hull & are easier to catch. Don`t know what...

Re: Strip plank "ceilings" and furring strips out of cedar?

I purchased & completed a Passage 24' F/G hull & deck assembly. I think it cost me far more than a production boat but, I ended up with exactly what I wanted.
I cut 2" wide furring strips from 1/2"...
