So, I have one of the upper slides on my cabin door on which the two screws are backing out. They are not completely out yet and want to head this problem off before the screws back completely out. I think the standard way to access this is via windshield and helm removal. But I want to do...

Just guessing here, also, but I'm thinking they were trying to get to the back of the boat with something. Drain lines, maybe, to fix the sump issues. I bet, when they pulled that plug out, they realized that this area was full of floatation and just sealed it back up. I have done some...

So, you're saying that the circle has been cut out with a hole saw and then re-inserted? .....And there is water coming up through the hole? Yikes! :wow: Is the water, that you think you are seeing coming from the hole, pink, like in the sump, or clear?

Planning on towing down to Riviera Beach on Friday and Saturday. Will cross as early as Sunday, the 15th, if weather is favorable. Checking in at West End and then on towards the Abacos. Our plan is to return no later than June 28th. Looking for any buddy boats, for crossing, in either...

Well, we ended up having to go with plan B. The weather just would not cooperate.We were supposed to drive down after work on Friday, the 24th, with hopes of crossing on Sunday, the 26th. Watching the weather, in the week ahead, I determined that the last window for a while would be early on...

If we ever cross paths, I owe you a beer or three! :thumbsup: Thanks for all of that! Jeff Posey Madison, AL

Re: For those who tow to or live in the Palm Beach County area, Where to park the rig Yeah, not worried about a few extra boat miles. I prefer boat miles over truck miles anyway. I'd really like to depart LWI, though. If nobody responds with good local knowledge around LWI, I'll start...

My first crossing and this seems to be the most puzzling piece of my trip, that is coming up in a couple of weeks. I thought I had this worked out and the storage yard has now nearly trippled their original quote. Where can I park my truck and trailer, for a couple of weeks, while crossing...

Thanks! I will check in there. I bought their chartbook but didn't notice that they had a forum. Also watching florida sportman. As a last resort, I figure, since I am crossing on a holiday weekend, it shouldn't be too hard to find someone else crossing when I get down to WPB. Should be in sight...

This trip is still a go. Leaving North Alabama, Friday afternoon, May 24. Hope to launch the afternoon of Saturday, May 25, in WPB and, if weather allows, cross Sunday morning. Looking for other boats to cross over to West End with. We will be continuing on to the Abacos. Jeff Posey Serenity...

48's? I'll probably catch up with them. :grin: At this point, my schedule isn't that flexible, to make that date adjustment. Already locked in the time off from work, baby sitter, lawn care, house sitter, etc. I'll be in a 240 Sundancer named "Serenity". If you see us, give us a shout...

Thanks y'all!! Really looking forward to it. It's been a long time coming. I have been reading and dreaming about doing this trip for years. Finally about to happen. Lots of lurking and learning here on CSR. Jeff Posey Madison, AL

That would be a teenager comparing their fingernail polish color to the color of the water. Just guessing, but I do have three girls, so I consider it an educated guess. Posey

Yes, we will be in the 240. Lots of prep, planning, and spares. Still a couple of months away. Wanna join us? JP

Due to circumstances beyond our control, last year's trip had to be canceled, so we have re-scheduled for this summer.... If anyone is interested in buddying up, the wife and I are planning a trip to the Abacos, May 26 - June 8, 2013. Weather permitting, we will depart WPB no earlier than...

Just wanted to update those that had been following this thread and those that had offered comments and info. My ex-wife passed away two weeks before our trip dates, last summer. Had to cancel the trip, as there was just no way I could leave the kids (21 and 11). The trip has been re-scheduled...

Just bought my ticket. Will be there on Saturday. Guess I'll have to fight the rug rats. Will also be hitting the Falcons vs Seahawks, next door, in the Georgia Dome, on Sunday.

I haven't been out in real rough stuff with it, but have gone in and out the inlet with pretty large rollers and crazy seas (inconsistent direction and periods). It was nothing that I feared (comfortable with the boat in that situation). I just new the wife and kids were not going to enjoy it...

Lake Guntersville is beautiful. We kept our boat there, during the summer of 2011. Kept it on the trailer for the summer of 2012 and launched in Decatur, Guntersville, Nickajack, and Florence, cruising as far as Chattanooga to the east and Counce, TN to the west. We also towed down and...

He mentions the Shoals area. That is in North Alabama. JP
