Re: Awlgrip bottom paint - never been in since painted 6 years ago. Is it compromise

It's too bad that Awlgrip Gold is no longer on the market--it was the best performing paint I've ever used. I've been using Micron Extra for the past 10 years and has worked well here in New England....

Re: Yanmar Gearbox Lube Oil Questions

I had the same confusion with the manual on my new Yanmar, so I called Mack-Boring. I was told that Yanmar uses the same manual for different versions of the Tranny. Some models have the high/low...

Re: Boston Boat Owners!!!

How close to Boston were you interested in? On the North Shore there is Gloucester (Roses) and I would second Dion's in Salem. I would also agree that RI would give you much better options in general...

Re: Moving to Boston area, ideas for location?

Re: Catalina or Hunter

These are great boats! I owned an 88 C30 Tall rig as my first boat. The only thing is the photo on the link appears to be that of a standard rig. The tall rig has a bow sprit...good luck!
