Re: To buy this steel hull or not to buy??

Having owned a steel hull boat, it's not what you see, it's what you don't see. The issue is how much hull metal is left and the surface condition of the hull on the inside. Very hard to tell with...

Re: SEA TOW = Modern Day Pirates

Sorry, no sympathy. For less than $200 per year you can have unlimited Tow Boat US towing insurance. Probably one of the cheapest cost / best values if you are a boater in the USA. An offshore tow...

Re: Portable Gen

If you are going to run a generator all night or plug into shore power, an electric blanket is a great addition that consumes less than 200 watts for $60 to $100.
