    Vitrifrigo Fridge $900

    DP2600IBD4 Vitrifrigo refrigerator. Two years old and removed from our last boat. I don't currently need this fridge and it's just running in our basement as a beer fridge.

    Vitrifrigo and Secop controller

    Ok, I don't blast a company unless they deserve it. These guys DESERVE it! I bought a vitrifrigo (vf) DP2600i fridge to replace the norcold on our new to us 400 Sedan Bridge. It fit well, worked well and was a full 1 cu. ft. bigger. Two years later it bit the dust. I decided to just replace...

    Spider kill/repel spray

    Last year we tried a spray called "Clipper Spider Kill". We noticed a distinct reduction in spiders on the boat. We can't do anything about the dock so we used it on our lines and on the bimini, especially around the zipper pickets for the bow's. I'm thinking of trying "Onslaught Fastcap"...

    MINI Cooper

    I'm possibly starting a new job which requires me to travel the city at my expense. I love driving and when able only drive what is fun. That said, since it's only city driving does anyone have any input on a MINI? I think I want to buy an older supercharged car but my wife had a 335i that I...

    How far south

    I live in Indiana. We absolutely winterize and occasionally didn't need to. If you were trying to move your boat to a climate where winterization was merely a formality and was done as more of a precaution than a necessity how far south would you go? I'm changing careers and my wife is pretty...

    Cockpit carpet, in or out?

    I'm just curious how folks in other areas of the country handle this. We are landlocked and most of our time on board is spent swimming/floating/lubricating. Since we're in and out of the boat all weekend, most of us remove our cockpit carpet as it just gets too wet and eventually nasty. You...

    50A Splitter

    When we bought our boat the seller gave us his 30A cords but when we drove to another marina to await pickup and transport we needed 50A adapter. I bought one and used it for four days. It is basically brand new. Cost me $120, would love to get $100 back for it. I can ship UPS easy or pick...

    NorCold DE-461 parts

    Our Norcold went to a norcoldenough after we purchased the boat. It actually still works but isn't very cold. So I replaced it with a new fridge. I now have a norcold in my garage. I think all the parts are still there. If anyone needs shelves, doors, door trays etc let me know. The one...

    Caterpillar won't release engine records

    Well I am trying to get some information on a 1998 400 Sedan Bridge and can't get records on the engines. Sure I'll get them at the time of the survey ($1000+) but if I had them in advance I'd feel alot better. So strange that I can't have that kind of information. I have the serial numbers...

    Puddle dweller on big water

    My wife and I are considering the purchase of a boat up on Lake Michigan. We normally only boat on an inland puddle but since the boat we buy may be up on Michigan, we're going to have to cruise a bit before we pull the boat to ship. It would probably be a once in a lifetime thing. I'm a...

    Head on a 3116 Cat

    I'm new to diesel power, matter of fact, I don't even have one yet. So, I found a boat that interested me. 1997 3116 Cat engines around 800 hours. I asked a few questions and came to find out the boat "...just had $8000 worth of work to bring the engines up to par." Red flags shot up all...

    Winter Storage

    I'm new to leaving a boat in the water. I'm like a nervous father about this coming winter. I have just a few questions. I had a cockpit cover made immediately upon delivery. I'm going to leave her under cover on the docks this winter and am wondering if I should go for a full cover or just...
