I went the same route you are considering several years ago. Started with a Yamaha stratoliner, a large Harley equivalent. Wife didn't like it. So traded for BMW K1200LT, a BMW version of Goldwing. Very nice, very comfortable and a blast to ride. Wife still wouldn't ride with me. And i really...
We have a coton as well. She really is a fantastic dog. She just sat right beside me for the four hour trip to the gulf. I'm doing boat maintenance this weekend
It's been 9 years since a storm went thru (Hurricane Ivan - a BIG one, Cat 5) that would cause a mass sinking. Still could have been a one-off trip to the bottom. My prior 300 sundancer had twin 260 HP engines and they were plenty of power
My system you have to manually reset the switch directly on the high pressure switch after a hi/ps code ( like a tripped circuit breaker) or it will continue to shut down and throw the fault code even if problem is resolved. On my Mermaid system, three hi/ps trips then requires a system reset on...
There is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath condo for sale at my condos ( Navy Cove Harbor) for $169,900. We are on Mobile Bay and only three miles from Ft Morgan and the Gulf. Very convenient for you. The unit has its own marina and slip is included. Total monthly fees are around $600 and that includes slip...

I've been out of pocket a week or two. What are you buying and what size 3208s?

Below is a fuel burn table per 100 rpms...
I heard the coast guard call out a pan-pan yesterday. The info that followed was for all boaters to be on the lookout for a boat in an unspecified location that reported taking on water with children on board. Perhaps "mayday" is the term used when you are the one in danger and making the...
I used 3/4 inch ID clear hose as it connects to the pumps on one end and then experimented with PVC fittings to find one that fit the other end of the 3/4 hose then go into the engine water supply hose. Actually you connect the flow to the exhaust shower hose where raw water would normally enter...
