I made sure my boat was professionally detailed and had the cabin cleaned professionally by a local carpet company. Made a world of difference.

Nice thing is my friend owns a 2003 360 with 8.1s that he doesn't like to drive. So, I captain he pays and we all have fun!

And I posted something on here. I happened to be out of the country. I don't answer calls while I'm on site at a client so it went unanswered especially when I have a missed call from an unknown number. I was left a voicemail and it got acknowledged but never actually listened to. I was just...

My boat sold about a month ago, but I've been too busy with life and work. Not buying again for a while but will still hang around. Decided I want to buy a place finally (couldn't ever commit to any one location) and finish my private pilot. Thank you CSR for all the help over the last 7ish years!

The new lender is a local credit union, not sure they are 100% in the marine lending business. The boat originally came from VA so it's never had a FL title as it went straight to documented. This is for my education, I am using a broker but want to understand the process myself.

Hey everyone, didn't want to jinx it but my boat is under contract. The new guy is approved for it but his lender wants a FL title. My boat is documented. So it looks like we will have to do a deletion from documentation. heres the problem - I don't owe a ton on it, but my company is shakey...

+50 on the conserve water. 4 of us have stayed on a 360 Sundancer for 5 days still had a quarter tank of water. We took QUICK showers or washed in the water (a spring that was crystal clear) and didn't use the head for a piss...

It wasn't his boat so we can assume he wasn't driving, so how drunk he was is irrelevant. Therefore I imagine they still would have.

Too hot in FL at cocktail speed. If I'm on my boat 90% on plane. If I'm driving my friends 350 Sundancer the same. We generally have destinations to go eat or swim so the trip is half the fun, and many of our destinations are 30-45 minutes on plane.

Glad nothing bad happened. Lets all direct our judgement towards the idiots who sit in the middle of channels at night with no nav lights fishing or doing whatever. I almost ran over a jon boat under a bridge a few months ago without a single light on...I made sure I made enough noise he wasn't...

Wholly agree. Just wanted people to be very aware this is true and don't trust the locks with valuables.

its very true. My key code happens to be the universal key, I've tested it on many of my friends boats. It's come in handy too when a friend needs someone to turn something on or off in their boat and I'm at the marina with my key...

When my friend moved from Jacksonville to Ft Myers we decided to take his 340 dancer on a 4 day cruise. Was a great time, up the saint johns down the ICW and across the canal or whatever it's called through all of the locks. my recommendation from our trip - get the bottom of the boat cleaned...

I could have lunch with 2 friends in my bilge. ...I still pay people to fix it because it's hot as hell down there in the summer and I'm not home enough to do it myself!
