I have a 2 and 4 yr old, so being able to hose down the cockpit is key. For this reason I am trying to avoid any carpet-like material. Right now we have the carpet taken out and its so easy to clean and hose. But...that teak definitely has a sharp look. Thanks for sharing your experience. Sent...

Would love to hear some of your experiences with NuTeaking a 270 or similar sized vessel. Its a recent idea of mine, but would love to hear some positives and negatives from those who have already done so. If it happens, I would consider cabin, cockpit, and swim platform. Sent from my iPhone...

I have a 2000 DA. Inserted 2 rod holders in gunnels, plus a removable one on bow rail. We fish all the time. Perfect fish/pleasure cruiser. Best of both Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

2000 270 DA, 8ft Zodiac, 2 boys, 1 beautiful wife, Magma grill, private beach cove on Presque Isle. Priceless. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mine get the same thing. Spray Nine then 303. Shiny and good as new. Use a medium bristled brush to get into the grooves. They will sparkle. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Those Swim Platform Riding pics are horrendous. Although we might complain about little things, we are very thankful that our Coast Guard keeps our region under control. They are the good guys and have to put up with moronic behavior like this. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Great point about NOT turning batteries off. I have removed that step from my routine because of it. Always good stuff everytime I visit CSR. Now...back to my shrimp. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

When fueling...the batteries are off. Thus...the boat is turned off. Thus...no blowers when gassing up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My blowers are on 100% of the time, unless boat is off. When fueling, I also click all batteries off. Replacing blower, if need be, is easy. Peace of mind and family safety is priceless. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nope...your comment just wasn't funny, Valyrie. Plenty of humor on this board, but dumb is dumb. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I beach my Zodiac HP floor all the time. I use a little caution and common sense and it remains a tank. No problems at all. But...if living in S Florida and maximum sun exposure is expected, then I would go Hypalon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

For me its a french production Zodiac Aero (8ft 6in) with a yamaha 2.5 HP. If Zodiac, dont get a chinese one, as they have moved to glued seams starting this year, as I was told be Defender. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Beautiful boat. Now we need a pic of the new girlfriend :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Love this thread. I was burned 2 times by WM. Moved to Defender and its been a total pleasure. Many purchases over the past 3 years and not one single snag. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
