Re: What happened to the "small" "Affordable" cruisers?

When searching for a boat four years ago, I set search parameters of 32-40ft. There were plenty of boats in my price range, i.e., less than 40K, but none that struck my fancy. First boat I looked at...

Re: Universal M18 freshwater pump

Thanks, everyone! I know the dipstick IDs the block. Thought it was Z500, but could well be 600. I'll recheck. There are a few Kubota places in my general vicinity, so will make some calls tomorrow.

Universal M18 freshwater pump

On CF for years, first time with a question.

Broken exhaust

Had a smoke condition when leaving my mooring. Turned back. Upon investigating, I discovered this. Can't tell whether its sheared or not. Guessing it is. Will I need new parts, or could these be...

Re: Newbie from OC, NJ

There is an Ocean County in NJ as well, although I've never heard it referred to as OC. Maybe a local Jersey thing. I'm a Brooklyn-born NYC native.:smile:

Well, it's been a busy two days, between driving down from NY yesterday morning and getting everything squared away. But, I'm in the slip. Wifi working! As luck would have it, the boat was sitting...

Re: Assistance needed in Annapolis this Wed

Thanks, everyone, for the advice. Feeling better already!

Bow-to would probably be easier for me, but given the setup, would rather be stern-to.

Taking a spin around the area and getting a feel...

Re: Bill Belichick names new boat "7 RINGS"

Like and admire him or not, he's got the seven rings. At least a couple came with the New York Football Giants! And, concurring with above, the boat is rather modest for someone of his means. Just...

Re: Docks with just posts - singlehanded

If only docking were as easy as parallel parking! Been doing that for forty-five years on the streets of NYC. If a car will physically fit in a spot, I can park it.

I don't know whether rub rails...

Re: Docks with just posts - singlehanded

I have limited experience with docking generally -- J24 on a floating dock with fingers -- and none with pilings-only slips. The Bristol 31.1 I just closed on has no rubrail. The high teak toerail...
