Re: Lowball offers on second hand boats

I love this question!

Its possible to make low ball offers and have them accepted. But there must be a good reason.

Also, and this is important, don't be an *******. Be polite and respectful....

Re: Searching for a family boat

I'm probably wrong, but it sounds to me like you are treating the boat like a house (or condo). 50 feet for your first boat? I'm sure your family could survive on a much smaller boat. It's a boat,...

Re: Dinghy for 26' sailboat

Avon Redcrest!

Great little boat. Deflates to almost nothing. Yet it feels safe and stable. It has excellent oars and oarlocks, meant for use (not just for show, like some newer boats). They are...

Re: Yanmar rebuild or new ?1gm10

Dismantle and remove the old yanmar yourself. Sell the parts, if you want, or just give it away.

Then install electric drive. Low power (8hp) is a perfect match for electric power. Install as...

Re: 1000 islands 2021 water too low?

If you know the park islands, you know that there are lots of deep docks for sailboats, and lots of shallow docks usually occupied by (shallow) motorboats.

Sorry, you will not find a free or even cheap dock anywhere from Kingston to Brockville. If it existed, I would keep my boat there. It is every boat owners dream to have a free dock.

Re: Cruising with (or without) a dog

The solution is simple.

Leave the dog at home...with the wife and kids.

Not only does this solve your problem, but sailing alone you could get a much smaller boat and save lots of $$$.

My concern is the keel support. From what little I can see, the entire weight of the boat is on 2, maybe 3 cement blocks. If the ground under these...

Re: Do I need a new stove?

Another vote for ORIGO stove. These things are great, safe, simple, and last forever. Fuel is cheap (where I live) at any hardware store.

So of course they stopped making them.

If its absolutely free, then the new owner will not value it, and at the first problem won't hesitate to walk away, having lost nothing.
