re: Making Voyages on twin gas engines ?

I'm sorry to hear about your unhappiness with the boat.

Re: Dipping my toe in

Welcome aboard, it's great to hear of a new member to the boaters of the world.

Re: fear of destoying new props

Prop repair is an acceptable cost of power boating. Just as sail repair is part of sailing.... as my wife says, there's always something.

Re: Anyone from Green Bay want to answer some area questions?

P & G are closing their plant here in Brockville after 40 years.

It will put nearly 500 people out of work and in a city of under 22,000, that is huge.

Re: Can I "hang" a swim platform off the transom?

I would find a different method of anchoring the strap to the platform, eye bolts can be very easy to trip a foot or lie on if someone slips.

Re: Sea Sickness Solution - Anyone Tested?

Very interesting reading and educating for a "sailor" but being a power boater some of the discussion has been a bit difficult to decipher.

Re: Advise on new Power Boat

I can't see anyone running the engines at WOT for an hour; if you are getting an engine survey that should tell you what you need to know.

A good surveyor will be able to determine if the boat has...
