Re: Need place to leave 45 ft. sailboat Nov-Feb on ICW

If hauling and budget matters, the New Bern to Washington area is gonna be CHEAP. McCotters in Washington, Hurricane in Bayboro probably are the cheapest. Duck Creek in New Bern, probably the next...

Re: Staying with boat in Oriental, NC

Missed this thread, but yea Hurricane is by far the best for live aboard DIY types.
They aren't a full service yard like Zimmerman (formerly Deaton) Sailcraft and Wayfarers, but much more laid back...

Re: Finding Real Estate With Dockage

Advantage of realtor is it seems to update to pending and sold way quicker. Disadvantage is that it often won't show a listing for a day or two after Zillow. You kind of have to use lots of...

Re: Best chill yacht clubs (or marinas)

from my very short experience, the marinas with the fancy "real" restaurants weren't as laid back. They also tend to have "existing" friends sitting together at tables etc. (Granted my experience...

Re: Finding Real Estate With Dockage

Casually looking as well, and yea, the apps seem to stink for this. What I've found is look in areas I "like" then take off all the filters, and view as "map view" and kind of guess if they are on...

Re: First boat

One thing I learned, even with a "better" boat than I originally though... IF you plan that it will be 10k to put in, it's gonna be 20 and a LOT of time.
Boat stuff gets pricey real fast. That...

Re: Docking cameras

Re: transducer forward of keel will it get trashed?

Nice.
This is our first big boat, so didn't really think about the obvious solution of just paint a mark like "no lift" to keep it safe.
Whether I get that one or just a second device I don't like...

transducer forward of keel will it get trashed?

I've got a Hans Christian 33t.
Instead of bouncing off of sandbars to find them, I'd like to upgrade to a MUCH better sonar setup.
Right now all she has is a depth finder. I was looking at the...

Re: Buying a Boat, no broker - Put these steps in order please

I'd have the insurance ready to go at payment/bill of sale.

Re: WTB:Used Alpha marinr autopilor

alphamarine 3000 with hydraulic ram upgrade to what?

Re: Dinghy Dreams Followers

I think the fact that this went this far out into insane land shows why the owner was concerned. We have no financial ties or concerns and people are this worked up?
