    Oh, do you have a boat too?

    On a business trip to France last week, I attended a cocktail party on this. Spent the whole night saying, "there's a big difference between 35 meters and 35 feet"! :smt001

    Used Boat Watch - August Issue "Special Sea Ray Issue"

    Received this in my email yesterday from Boat U.S. (click the bottom box to go to the link). I'm surprised how comprehensive it is. Any thoughts on accuracy of the hi/low prices?

    She didn't laugh. :)

    Told my wife that this was why I got into boating. She didn't think it was funny. :smt043 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjBqKpMncsE&feature=related

    Shorepower Drops Out

    We've had our new boat in our new slip since February. Starting in April, we started losing the 30 amp service from the dock stantion.

    Boat lettering/names in Seattle-area?

    Seattle Boat Show

    Thoughts on Horizon 8.1S with DTS?

    Considering a new 330 Sundancer (on the floor at the Seattle Boat Show). My current boat (280 Sundancer w/single 496MAG and BIII) is difficult to maneuver, especially when you add a little of the Seattle winter, a wicked slip placement and the noises a nervous wife makes when docking. The...

    How to Name the Boat?

    Sorry if this is obvious to everyone, but my web surfing hasn't yielded the answer... Got the new boat...she's currently nameless. So, we've come up with a name, and I can handle getting it physically applied to the boat...but, is there some legal or registration process to go through...

    New Sea Ray Owner - Pacific Northwest

    Hello all. After getting my feet wet, not literaly, the past year in a yacht timeshare program, I've made the leap and bought a slightly-used, 2006 280 Sundancer. Initial learnings: 1) Singe screw, no-bow thrusters...harder than it looks! 2) It may not make economic sense, but owing your...
