Congratulations Carter!!! Beautiful boat. Tarpon Point? I guess I didn't know you were so close to me. We should make a trip together sometime.

Just sent you a PM.

Hi Alex, This sounds interesting. Put me down as a maybe at this point. Shadow9999, Robert and Diane, SeaDuced VSC-50, Punta Gorda FL

Hi Alex, I am interested in this trip!!! I may have another friend from down here interested as well. I will let you know.

I am definately interested in finding out more information about the LEI. That may become my inlet of choice this summer because of the problems at the entrance to Oyster Creek. Ed, I pm'd you on this. BTW, not to jack the thread, but I know a guy tht has been incontact with the army corps...

That probably was the best possible time to go through there being that it was low tide. When you can clearly see the shoals, you have a better shot at avoiding them. It's a real mess between 40 and 38, extending a bit towards 36. You've got shoals coming in from both the north and the south...

If you are interested in Charlotte Harbor area, I think you can't go wrong with PGI (Punta Gorda Isles). I have a home there. In fact, my signature picture is taken from my back yard in PGI. Anyway, plenty of deep water canals, beautiful community, and reasonably priced homes. I have a "sail...

Based on your boat and year, I'm assuming you (or a previous owner) added the fuel flow meters. That being the case, depending on what meters you have, and how they are hooked into your electronics, you may be able to interface your fuel tank level senders allowing your displays to use the...

So with all of the work going on with the north jetty of Barnegat Inlet, it looks like using that inlet this summer will be difficult at best. I know it's single file, no passing and no wake all the way through. When that inlet gets a little rough, trying to get through it at idle speed could...

I had the same engines in my 410. You are revving about 100 RPM low. They are supposed to max out at 2800 RPM. Yes overfilling the crankcase can cause the splatte. I had the exact same issue one time. I had the oil changed and for some reason the guy overfilled both engines. I ended up with...

Thanks to everyone for their input. I appreciate it. Now I have a follow up question. So I understand that running the engines at idle under no load is not good. too much wear. But what about running at idle under load. Like when you are in a no wake zone. Lets say you are on the ICW and...

My boat is powered by pair of Volvo D12´s. I use the boat in New Jersey and the surrounding area in the summer and down in south west Florida in the winter. So the boat is used year round. I am on top of all the maintenance and do everything at or before the specified number of hours. I use...

I'm having new exhaust elbows made for both of my engines. They should be ready on about a week or so. Of course, the new elbows will be perfectly machined and will have brand new stainless steel flanges to mate with the exhaust output off of the turbo. When I removed the old elbows, there...

Hahaha. Pretty funny!!!!!

I read that the dredging of Harbour Town was completed in Mid December. You may want to spend a night there as it is a very nice marina with lots to do within a five minute walk of your slip.
