Re: Broke from mooring, stuck on sand, now what?

I have a newbie dopey question. If you can't get that boat off the ground to float it out why can't you just cut the keel off below the bolts and just replace it? Would that be cheaper? Just...

Re: Japanese Bidet Toilet Seats

Japanese Bidet Toilet Seats

Has anyone installed one of these bidet seats on their boat? The only issues I see are they use electricity to heat the water before you get the splash. Any other issues? Just curious thanks

Re: SHTF and Boats

All of these posts make think of the movie Percy's' Progress. It would be nice, at first, to come back to a world like that. But like everything else i'm sure it would grow tiring.

Re: Crossed an Ocean? What was worst weather?
