I eventually listed the boat with HMY Yacht Sales. They have a very comprehensive web site and numerous offices along the East Coast. This particular broker knows Sea Rays very well, and has won numerous sales awards over the years. Also, he was thorough and easy to work with. Here's what...

If, by sell short, you mean sell for less than I owe, then that's exactly what I expect to do. Because, I want to move on.

Today I went to the HMY Yacht Sales web site and was impressed with the layout and completeness of the listings. So I stopped by, and was introduced to their Sea Ray specialist. I showed him 20 pictures that I had taken. He liked most of them, and suggested some more that we could take...

The support that I have is like a telescopic tent pole. It stands vertically from the engine hatch up through a grommet in the cover. It has a thumb screw for adjusting the height.

It is quite troublesome for one person to put it on and remove it. You have to get both sides started over the windows, to keep it from falling into the boat. It should be easy for two people. It is also hard to fold neatly. However, when folded, it doesn't take up too much room. I have...
