    Hello from Lake St Clair, MI

    My well is M61. I see you will be neighbors with Mags. Great choice for a Marina! Going on my 3rd year there, I just love it. Swing by in the Spring for the "Blessing of the Fleet" event. It's real close to my well. The owner shares the story of how Belle Maer came to be. Very cool. See you soon!

    Hello from Lake St Clair, MI

    Welcome to CSR! I just completed my 2nd season on LSC. You will love it! Poor Mans and Strawberry are nice, but Muscamoot and Munchies are the main anchoring spots. Warmer water and less current. The Lake has a lot of shallow areas to be aware of. Thx to magstang1...I'm learning how to safely...

    First Sea Ray winterizing

    I buy a box of dryer sheets and place them all around the cabin, inside drawers, storage areas etc. I don't leave them on the carpet or any fabric because they may leave a stain over time. Also 2 boxes of Damp-rid does the trick over the winter. I bring everything not bolted down home and store...

    1st Boat Ever, How Big Is Too big?

    I think buying a larger boat right off the bat is a great idea. Once you get used to how the boat handles and reacts in the water, all will be fine. I'm in my mid 40's and bought a 290 with twins as my first boat. Most said I started too big, but after 2 full seasons I'm not wanting to upgrade...

    Engine Synchronizer Gauge issue

    Was hoping to get some insight on this. When I have an equal synch gauge reading, my port engine is at 3200rpms, which is has always been normal. However, my starboard engine is running 4000rpms. It's happened the last 2 outings, and not sure why. No problems with getting on plane and both...

    1999 Sundancer 310 with a soft deck?

    I had the same issue with my deck. Delamination by the windshield. My surveyor told me that it will not sink the boat and most owners just sell it with this issue at a discount. It was not a deal breaker for me since the rest of the boat was in tip top condition and I saved a few thousand on the...

    Almost Ready to Splash

    Looking good! Love the new dash. It rained all day today..totally interfered with my prep schedule. Finally the marina came to life on Saturday. Everyone working and hanging out. Great day. Hope you found your new dinghy..now I need one.

    Slipping

    You will get maximum enjoyment from your boat this way. +1 on the bottom paint and bellows.

    An expensive lesson learned.

    Well said Sir, some unexpected repairs for me also right out of the gate..the survey didn't find. Let's just say for a first time boater it was a rough start, but it slowly got better...thx to all my experianced, helpful neighbors on J row. I'll stop by soon and would love to check out the boat...

    May be moving

    Definitely check out Belle Maer Harbor. I think the best value for the money. They lowered the prices this year to make it even more attractive. Pretty much the same amenities as MacRay but has shade trees and grass area in front of every slip. Location is the best part, close to every popular...

    Detroit Boat Show (cobo)

    Sure thing magstang1. J144 was my home last Summer. I moved to M61. Stop over for a beer, i'm sure you can teach me a few things about my boat. Only my 2nd year. I have a close friend with a Mainship in G216.

    Detroit Boat Show (cobo)

    I plan on going. It's close to home and I like checking out the new Sea Ray's. Plus it's the closest thing to boating in mid February around here. I advise not to order any food, not much to choose from and it's horrible! Eat before you go.

    I've had Ace for over a year with no issues. The rates were the best and the coverage excellent.

    Well, I just secured my dream boat well at my marina. I feel like i've won the lottery on this spot. Only 4 of these "straight in docking" slips out of 800 wells. The benefits of this slip over my old one are: 1. Lower dock height which makes it easy to board, especially for the kids and...

    Sadler, I want to copy your TV install. What size TV did u choose? I don't have a genny and want to use it away from shorepower so I'll probably get a 12v TV and wire it to the DC cig plug on the helm. I want to add a seawatch antenna on the arch to pick more channels. It will be my winter...

    Sadler, Thank You for posting a link for the curtain slides! I have been looking since last year with no luck. Many of them were broke when I bought the boat last year.
