Folks, I'm really looking for a good builder in the Keys. Have land and all permits locked in. It is in a VE zone, but building quotes are coming in a bit high. I'm just looking for a fair deal. I and my partners have extensive experience in the real estate/build/rehab business and know that...
Anyone on the board have any experience with home builders, dock builders and pool builders. Also anyone who does lending in the keys and is tuned into the realities of the market.
Thanks in advance.
Our crew found out the hard way when we all used the stuff that had wintered in the boats head cabinet.
Seems it's not nearly as effective when old.
Ouch.
Guys, we have had a few discussions here on moisture in the gauges, but for the most part all dismiss as something that will eventually clear up. Well, my fuel gauge just doesn't want to clear up despite living with it for a year. Now there is a bit of a film from the moisture evaporating and...
Guys, it's good to be back. Did the whole Costa Rican rainforest thing. Was hoping to catch a nice roster fish. Turns out the rainy season didn't cooperate and my time was spent avoiding bushmasters and monkeys in the jungle rather than plying the waters of the Golfo Dulce.
Then it was to...
CNN will be filming a piece on PWC safety tomorrow morning, live at 6, 7, and 8am eastern.
The film crew will be on a 2000 240SD with about 200 hours on the ticker to film the PWC rider(s). Perhaps you'll get a glimpse of the 240SD.
Guess how I know this?
Are sore. Yesterday the 240SD was in need of a full wash, compound, polish and wax. I washed, pulled out the trusty... errr... not so trusty random orbital. Got all washed, ready for some 3M Compound to take down a few spots of oxidation. And the orbital decides to STB. It must have a short...
Ok, so I'm working on details on the potentially new boat. The 290 SS didn't have an option for a generator. So I am faced with A/C and two fridges with no generator.
So... can I run the A/C while on the hook from battery power and if so for how long. Am I being an idiot here? One of...
Ok folks, I'm in the process of convincing the significant other that a move from the 240SD to a 290 Sea Ray Sun Sport is a justifiable need. Her requirement is that we can do some overnight trips further south than we generally go. Currently, we really only get as far south as Tim's in...
Against all better judgement, I'm looking closely at a 04 Sun Sport with twin 350 mags. Anybody have experience with these boats and have a clue as to what speed to expect at top and cruising... and more importantly what GPH will likely look like?
Finally found an extremely clean freshwater...
Folks, has anyone tried to put a 5 gallon sani-pottie in a 240 SD. Am curious is the extra height makes it unuseable, etc. An extra two gallons of capacity would go a LONG WAY.
something I don't normally do. I decided to splurge on some new polarized sunglasses instead of my cheapos I generally get. I am not a fan of Oakleys, but wanted still wanted a version that wrapped enough to keep the wind out of my eyes when running down the river, so I went looking and found...
Well folks, finally the weather cooperated enough to get all the work done and she's ready for the water. 1) Drive stripped, yada yada yada and interluxed. I'm done with the phantom black every year. 2) Solenoid replaced in an abundance of caution 3) New juice all around 4) New spray head in...
