I won’t say anything disparaging, but we don’t intend to spend another season with Eldean.

Thanks guys! For convenience sake Holland is fairly good for us... Has anyone ever called Yacht Basin or Anchorage home?

All great info, Stee, as always! Do you have any specific marinas you’d recommend to slip at or to avoid?

We purchased our boat mid-season this year and our options were limited when looking for a marina... Looking ahead to next year we haven't been all that impressed with the management at our current stomping grounds in Holland so I wanted to reach out to the brain trust here and get your $.02...

We just bought our ‘15 about a month ago... generator had 10 hours on it before sea trial. We’ve nearly tripled that now.

Great news, thanks for the reply! Did it look like coolant was coming from your old cap or was it similar to my pic? I’ll plan to order a new cap either way to try it out.

Ran the genset a couple of hours over the last weekend. No apparent leaks for me from the cap itself. I’m worried there are very small cracks around the area in question on the heat exchanger. There is no significant loss of coolant, but enough to see as shown in the picture below. I’ll...

Following this... Have noticed the same issue on my low time 2015 5EKD. Not a substantial loss of fluid, but sounds to be the exact issue you’re having.

We just had a survey done a couple weeks ago by CJ with Bluefin Marine Consultants. Very responsive, thorough, and puts together a great report when it’s all said and done. He won’t do engines but I would highly recommend him to anyone in the area. His website is www.bluefinmc.com , you can...

Those negotiations with the wife have started in a very slow, “Wow, look at the dinghy on that boat. Wouldn’t that be nice someday?”, kind of way. Hopefully that will happen at some point. First we need to get our heads wrapped around learning the ins and outs of our new toy and how to keep...

Agree 100%. And business is good, we couldn’t be happier:D

That was probably us! Right around lunch time. We’ll be back up that way often for lunch and dinner once we get a handle on things. Hoping to get in touch with Stee, I owe him a drink or 12 for a lot of great insight.

She’s ours! We drove her to her new home yesterday and spent the day cleaning and prepping for the season. We still have a lot to learn and I’ll be here with open ears regularly to take in as much as I can. Thanks to all of those that provided so much helpful feedback, especially Stee...

This is the route I’m going to take, Stee. Yet again, more great feedback and advice. You’re the man!

I’m assuming you haven’t read the entire thread, and no worries if you’re just catching up. I appreciate the insight regardless, but what’s with the tone? I wasn’t turned away by my “d$ck move”, some refer to it as “negotiating skills”... I also don’t get emotional about buying toys. I’m not...
