Are these the ones? https://www.amazon.ca/Perko-1299DP0CHR-Chrome-Marine-Fender/dp/B00144CTUU Found 'em under Perko fender locks.

I JUST saw those in one of our local chandlery catalogues. I'll try to find them for you when I am free.

We've purchased both privately and through brokers. Without a doubt, the most hassle and worry free purchases were the ones through the brokers. This has included everything from viewing through the survey to cutting the cheque and crossing the borders. Good luck. Just be sure to familiarize...

If you're happy with it then keep it. Only YOU can make that decision for sure. Who knows, after using it for a season you'll probably want a 33 or 34 footer. We're never happy, for long, with what we have, especially when we can afford something bigger.

A funeral procession pulled into a cemetery. Several carloads of family members followed a black truck towing a boat with a coffin in it. A passer-by remarked, "That guy must have been a very avid fisherman." "Oh, he still is," remarked one of the mourners. As a matter of fact...

Any RV parts suppliers should have a catalogue with replacement fridges for their campers and motor homes. The catalogues have all the measurements of each unit and you just pick one that will fit in the space. We just did our 240 last year and realized that there aren't a lot of choices...

I think you did the right thing too.:thumbsup: Even in the perceived safety of the mooring basin, if one of them DID happen to fall in there is the possibility of electrocution too. However, even YOU should know that spinning props can't harm anyone in the water if they're close to a...

Awesome pics, thanks for sharing Ian. Couldn't help but notice; last post, 4th pic down, rods are obviously being used but the boat appears to be going pretty fast. How fast do you guys troll your gear?

Welcome to CSR. When you ask for opinions ya sure get some variations don't ya? I'm inclined to compare the performance of previous boats with prospective boats based on a weight to horse power ratio for starters. If your previous boat was 5500 lbs, had a 325 hp engine in it, and you were happy...

Thanx Bob. I'll hold off 'till end of season and see what happens in the way of deals. I do like that Garmin set up, should do the job for wherever I'll be going. Cheers.

Welcome to CSR. If you are already familiar with how engines work and you have tools and basic abilities to figure things out, you're 1/2 way there. There are a couple of generic manuals available from publishers such as Haynes and Clymer. A search on Amazon might net some results. These manuals...

Good goin' Wayne. Hope you have a way of experiencing our responses and best wishes for you. All the best to you both.

Congratulations and welcome to CSR. Lookin' forward too seeing some pics of your boat and your cruising areas. All the best.:thumbsup:

Wow, is that ever a mint boat. Curious how many hours (or minutes) on the engines.

Hang in there John, somebody will have seen and used something like that at some point in time. It may take a while to get responses at this time of year as it's splash time for a lot of people. Good luck, and let's see some pics of the rest of your boat.:grin:
