Re: Hudson to Sarasota `

It's an easy offshore run with a good weather window. If you run into something you don't like, drop hook off Fort DeSoto in Tampa Bay, or tuck in along the coast. I personally wouldn't bother with...

Re: Repower or sell as-is? How to price?

My advice would be that you sell it as-is...

Re: Nashmarine Vintage Sailminder Computer

I have one you can have. It lives in the desk drawer and only sees daylight when my wife and I argue about sail trim. Since it usually proves me wrong, I'd prefer that it went to live on someone...

Re: Shaving off bronze bow roller

Where are you located? I'd be happy to skim it for you in my shop lathe. Drop by in Florida, or cover the postage. 20 min job.

Re: Lithium Upgrade - Step-by-Step?

I'm glad to read common sense answers that are matched with experience. Too often, advice veers toward high-end (expensive) gold-standard replies that are pure hearsay.

Re: BALMAR 71-80 80A Alternator - $150

I'll check, but I don't think so. The ad is quite old. I'll let you know and take the ad down if I can't find it.

Re: Contest Sailboats

Re: Iridium Go! Marine package

Re: AIS Class B Transponders

Buyer backed out, so it's available. I don't have any GPS antennas or mounts left. This particular unit was programmed once for practice, but never installed or used. Please PM me if interested.
