    Best bottom paint?

    I hit the like button - but decided that was not a strong enough message. The question of bottom paint comes up a lot - it seems to me there is so much variability with a lot of factors from region to region that seeking local in your area experiences are the best path.

    High and Dry Storage

    When we had a boat on the other side of the state, I used a high and dry storage for our tender. Will share my responses to your questions with what I experienced at that facility. Here are my questions in no particular order - Can you work on your boat at any level? Maybe not engine work...

    Going to AGM batteries. Conflicting information in the process

    I have a lot of batteries. Most are large, thinking 8d, though not positive. All of the engine related are 24V. House set, same batteries but wired for 12v. Then genset has its own battery. Our boat has a much higher degree of redundant systems than the sea ray boats we have owned in the...

    New Year Eve plans?

    We left our slip this morning and started south. In st. Pete tonight. Debating Sarasota or Venice Tomorrow night. Not sure where after that. Cold front blowing in, temps dropping to maybe the 50’s. Further south we go, warmer it gets. Trading diesel for degrees.

    Weather Sucks in Florida - What is happening

    Florida in the winter can be hit or miss sometimes. There almost always will be a cold snap, but typically they are only a day or two. The only time we avoid for our area is mid January till end of Feb. Seems like the fronts push through more often and you can wind up with extended periods...

    We are headed down around the holidays to the west coast. Started looking at temps, seems a little cool. Although last year there was a cold blast that lasted a couple of days.

    Rudder Question

    Are you replacing 1 or 2. I wonder if just replacing 1, with different dimensions would affect performance.

    what to do in Charleston, SC (by car) ???

    Walk down the dock at the city marina - used to be huge boats there. As I understand a frequent fuel stop for large boats. Not sure about this time of year. Contrast that marina with Patriots Point where the WWII aircraft carrier tour is. Huge marina on the other river. Very nice downtown.

    510 FLY

    The 510 Fly is one of my favorite boats built by SR in the last few years they were building larger boats. I was able to crawl around on hull # 1 with the designer and Cap Rusty. Learned a lot about why choices were made. Just a beautiful boat. One challenge you might run into is I don't...

    2023 College football thread.....

    In recent prior years - OU would have rolled. So far, this year appears to be different. Read somewhere OU has 60 new players on the team this year - not sure how accurate.

    USCG Vessel Documentation. Anyone do it?

    This has been my experience, whether or not you pay sales tax is dependent on the state. In FL we had to pay sales tax but it was capped. Still have to maintain registration and display a sticker, but do not display numbers. Some states have reciprocal agreements - for example Maryland-Florida.

    USCG Vessel Documentation. Anyone do it?

    I have never thought about documenting a boat as a money saving option.
