Re: Type of AC unit?

Never mind. I found it.

Type of AC unit?

A couple of years ago I saw an ad in the back of one of the sailing magazines for a portable air conditioner.

Re: What's an electronic?! So lost!

We honestly contemplated taking all of the electronics off of the boat and selling them, and then re-buying things as we discover what would make certain things easier.

"It'd be nice if there was...

Re: What's an electronic?! So lost!

We have started learning without the bells and whistles. That's why we don't know how to use them or what they do.
Now we want to start integrating some of the things we have into a system we can...

What's an electronic?! So lost!

We bought her back in September and she came equipped with some electronics, some of which we kind of know how to use and some we do not. ...

Re: Bristol 29.9 with mast leak

I would definitely love to see photos of what it should look like. Overall the boat seems to be in pretty good condition.
I've never owned or bought a boat before so I'm not completely certain...

Re: Bristol 29.9 with mast leak

Hmmm. It was explained to me that the mast actually slides over the fitting. Like a smaller pipe sliding into a larger one.
That corrosion is definitely my concern. Should their be a shoe there...

Re: Having a boat trailered, reasonable?

Wow, motor sailing the river to the gulf. That's true that it would give plenty of time to get to know the boat, I just worry about dragging the bottom. Is it a common route for keel boats to take?

Re: Having a boat trailered, reasonable?

That was definitely a thought as well. I guess even if it costs a little more to have a freshwater boat trucked to the ocean, it could definitely be worth it.

Hey guys! New here!

Just thought I'd drop in and say hello, introduce myself, and probably rant.. It's a habit I have.

Been reading the threads for a little bit and finally decided to register. I don't own a boat.....
