Re: Yacht club rant

You need your own boat and a marina slip. Is it news to you that many yacht clubs are full of snotty, pain in the butt people?

Re: Modern equivalent to an old boat

Re: Installing a permanent mooring anchor in Howe Sound

I'm in lake champlain, between vermont and new york. Because the lake freezes all boats must be hauled, hauling cost money, hauled boats need storage on stands (more money), so no derelict boats at...

Re: Unbalanced diesel?

Re: Completely Overwhelmed

That power cat you keep pushing is a great boat for many of us 2 person cruising teams. But its really so far off from what she wants and needs for her huge family. It appears she wants a condo like...

Re: Realistic expectations for deep draft on the ICW

8 foot draft is to much by about 2 feet. If you wander out of the channel center in some places it gets shallow quick, with a 6' keel you can just head back to the middle with no worries. Many places...

Re: Installing a permanent mooring anchor in Howe Sound

If you want to save cash and avoid the barge consider dropping your own. You could build one yourself, but since your asking I would skip that and buy one. Somewhere I have a older book that has a...

Re: Atrocious Service from Defender

I bet your hard pressed to find anyone else here who's not happy with defender. You can't base any judgement on one transaction. After you've made 50 or 100 orders get back to us. Your opinon will be...

Re: Completely Overwhelmed

I dont beleive the stated fuel burn can be near correct, maybe 4 gph per engine? It seems this large boat is more fuel thrifty than a marine trader 40? Correct me if I'm wrong but a lehman 120 in a...

Re: Hydra Cell D10 Pump for Watermaker

How large a boat is this going in? I'm a rare one here but I enjoy the fab and custom building far more than the sailing. I get 6 months away from my shop and I am so bored. A sunny island paradise...

Re: Bahamian type fuel filter

Water seperating funnel maybe? Try defender or any large marine supplier. I would get a Racor 1000 and skip the funnel. The funnels tend to be very slow and as some fuel docks are busy, trying to...
