    New Cabin Wood Flooring?

    So far I'm looking at Amtico birch. I think light clean color will brighten up the interior nicely. Premium wood style vinyl floor they use in new Hatteras, Ocean yachts. Supposed to be awesome stuff in Boats, not made in China vinyl stuff they sell at HD. Cost is around $7-8 per Sq...

    New Cabin Wood Flooring?

    Looking at the newer searay yachts and they seem to use laminate or real wood flooring in the interior of their yacht lines. I want to modernize my interior as well. Has anyone done similar and if so what product did you use? Not a fan of the old teak/holly look, it looks like modern sleek...

    Shafts vs Zeus

    Beware the failures... IPS/Zeus, new(er) with warranty, great! Used out of warranty, would never consider it. Depends on the kind of boater/buyer you are. I shopped heavily for a 4-5 year old boats with IPS systems mainly for docking ease as my wife has no interest in learning...

    Bravo 3 not raising up all the way

    Figured it out. Just needed to press the trailer trim/tilt toggle switch down harder to bring it up. Didn't realize the toggle switch had staged settings.

No more guys and no fat or ugly chicks. We would have had fun with that pig on our boat :), in fact would have...

    Need to winterize a moored boat?

    I keep my 42ft express in a large lake that never freezes in Seattle. It has twin diesel inboards. It will be my first winter with the boat. Do I need to "winterize" the engine or have a bilge heater to protect the engine from cracking? I plan on keeping a heater on a thermostat to...

    We might be jumping ship

    Volvo is what I would go for as well. Engines similar/GM blocks like mercs but outdrives are far better in terms of reliability in the outdrives than mercs. Volvo has a history of solid R&D prior to putting out a product. Their outdrive durability is legendary. Have volvo duoprop outdrives...
