Lucky is my nickname and has been since I was a kid. It's also been part of my boat name for the last 5 or so. However, it was time for a change. My girlfriend and I have become huge fans of the show "The Walking Dead" and, we also both happen to be in the death care industry. So, this name...

Afternoon all! So far, things are going great with the new boat. Learning a lot and taking care of little things here and there to make her as perfect as possible. Only thing that's giving me a constant nightmare is the tv's/dvd players. Neither dvd player works, which isn't a big deal. I...

Well, it didn't go exactly according to plan, but got her home! The trip from Key Biscayne to my home port was 119 miles. I didn't want to do that distance for my first cruise so I had contacted a hauler to transport for me. I never gave him any payment or payment info (luckily) as it was...

After 2 long years of being in center consoles and away from SR, as well as getting a divorce, promotion and new amazing girlfriend (yes, in that order!), I've entered into contract today on a new to me 2006 320DA!! Sea trial and survey is scheduled for Thursday so we shall see how things all...

Morning all!! Finally ready to back to Searay!! Loved the center console life for a while but ready to get back into a cruiser. Looking close at a 2006 320DA with 5.7 inboards. Risers and manifolds were replaced 2 weeks ago. I was wanting fresh water cooled but this boat really has my...

Good afternoon all! As many of you know, my wife and I followed our dreams and moved to south Florida a few years ago. Being in this area and my extreme love of boats and being on the water has opened up a new venture for me. I was approached by a small mom & pop yacht brokerage who asked to...

I was just informed that good friends of ours were involved in a weather related crash on the Ohio turnpike earlier today returning back to Michigan. In the crash, the wife, who is a mother of a 4yr old, 2 yr old and is 8 months pregnant was killed, along with the unborn baby. She was 32 years...

Well, for the first time in many, many years, I'm boatless. :( We accepted an offer yesterday and the new owner plans on taking possession on Monday. I will likely be boatless for a year or so, but would love to remain active here if that's ok? Here's a little update on our situation...

Edit: Decided to throw it online and see what happens. Here's some info: http://treasure.craigslist.org/boa/4756637377.html Thinking about the next (boat) move and trying to find out how much interest there is on this forum in a great looking, clean Laguna with twin 200hp Mercs. Don't have...

I don't know where she gets the fishing gene from, but she loves it and all who know me know I don't. Well she told me all she wanted for her birthday was to go fishing. So I took our funeral home's 42' Viking with a couple hired hands, a couple close friends and took her fishing yesterday...

I was just sitting here listening to music and thought my Sea Ray looked sharp so I thought I'd take a pic. Sorry it's nothing more exciting. And our best friends from Michigan moved down here a few weeks ago and are slipped right next to us. Doesn't get much better. :)

So I haven't posted any pics in a while and know we all love them, myself included. It was a beautiful day on the water. Just the wife and I (which seems to happen less and less) spent most of the afternoon anchored near peanut island floating on rafts. We also happened to anchor right by our...

The admiral asked me to get feedback for a friend of hers who's considering surprising her husband with a trip to the Eleuthera Islands. We've never been to this island and admittedly I had never heard of it. Either by boat or plane, anyone been there that can give personal experiences on...

We have some friends in from out of town and put around 90 miles on the Laguna today. Very comfortable and great ride. Finally got the new name on recently, too. Upon leaving the Jupiter inlet we were greeted with a 2-3' following sea which I was very comfortable with. As we got is we got...

Great guy, avid boater, talented musician and loving husband/father. He owned a dueling piano bar and could play nearly every instrument known to man. He and I, along with another friend planned our big Venetian dock party in Saugatuck every year where he also was the entertainment. He played a...

Had a great dinner with my parents tonight at a great little waterfront place as we enjoy the last couple weeks before my parents head back north. To our surprise, the same Carnival ship that we were on 2 years ago with my parents was leaving port! It was very cool to see and makes me ready for...

Here's a couple pics from today My mom, who has Alzheimer's and is like the movie "50 first dates" has never been drunk. Tonight, I changed that. Sneaking her shots of patron and peach schnapps. This disease she has really sucks but tonight we're making the best of it and enjoying our time...

I got a call from Mr. Sea Ray Friday afternoon letting me know he was in my neck of the woods transporting a 510 from Merritt Island to Miami and wanting to tie up at my house. After a great dinner Friday evening with Rusty and his co-captain, Shelby from the customer service department who was...

Well as most of you have read, we sold our beloved Weekender a couple weeks ago. After narrowing down and identifying out boating priorities and style with our new Florida life, we decided we wanted a 24' Laguna CC with twins. They weren't made very long and were very well built so the resale...

Bad news, as some of you read in my prior thread, we were reevaluating our boating needs and had decided it might be time to sell the Sea Ray and get a bigger CC. Well just to see what kind of interest I could generate, I put her on CL last week. Well, had a guy come today to "look" at her. He...
