Finally got a shot of my LED deck lighting install (love the SR Carpets I got off eBay). Also got this cool pic of the Burgee flying this week with Percy Priest Dam in the background.

This is local Sea Ray dealer's website. Check out the 260 photo and the bilge vent area when it pops up on the flash banner. Looks like it's missing! OOPS!!!:smt043 http://erwinmarinesales.com/

I've finally got the time to go meet with my local canvas guy. If you read my post before, I was a little blown away by the original quote for the full camper. But, this guys the best and everything's new and SS vs. aluminum. Like many of you, I'm constantly looking at boats and boats for...

Went down to the marina today. Still flooded but down about a foot this weekend. They're running a rental pontoon to shuttle folks to their docks. Anyway, I completed most of my LED deck lighting project. Someone turned me on to these babies on eBay. They are bright!! I'll try to get some...

Many of you may have read my question on shipping quotes. Well, I have the opportunity to buy a 1988 270 Sundancer with T/V6's, no air or gen and no trailer. Boat looks in great shape. $7000 + transport. I hate finding great deals that aren't close where I can look. It's a risk without...

I found a nice late 80's 270 for a bargain. Shipping quotes are throwing me for a loop. Is $3.90 per mile high? I know fuel is up but I'm pretty sure they get more that 1-2 miles per gallon on their haulers. I also realize permits are necessary since 10ft beam. Still seems high to me but...

Just thought I'd share. $44.96++ right now. I've been shopping for one for a while. Cheap dough!

I just found out where my trailer is parked at the marina very well may be under water by the morning. I'm heading there early before work in the am. I hope it's not submerged and can hook up and move. If underwater, what's the risk of damage? It's aluminum and hopefully it won't be under...

Forgive me if I'm posting on a previous topic (I never seem to have luck with forum searches). I've got my eye on a boat with MarineMax. I've booked it out and they seem well to the right-side of book...(about $7000 over High Retail). I've sent inquiry for more information. This may be a...

Holy Cow!!! http://www.wsmv.com/news/27677768/detail.html

Just purchased a Powerwinch 36' class off eBay. I want to make sure it works right away so I can address with seller if any issues. It's standard two-wire, free drop unit. Black cable is positive and green is negative off the motor. I just want to make sure it spins. I tried briefly hooking...

Well, finally bit the bullet and purchased a windlass. I boat a lot by myself so easy deployment, especially in close quarters and windy conditions, is crucial for me. I bought a free-fall unit and the way my anchor roller is designed it should launch perfectly. I'm thinking of mounting on...

Is there a common size pop rivet for standard snaps for canvas? I've had a couple come off the hull where the mooring cover attaches and want to replace.

Had a small leak coming from somewhere low down by where the Y Pipe connects to transom plate. I had a mechanic come take a look Friday and he said it could be were mercathode or trim lines pass thru transom and that we'd pull next week and try to seal. Worst case, pull the motor and drive...

Well after about an hour of vacuuming the bilge dry and fishing around with my new Borescope, I think I found my leak. Below is a pic (sorry, took pic of Borescope screen with phone). The circle seems to be where the leak is coming from. I believe the bolt to below connects the Y Pipe to the...

Well, went out this morning. Started right up but did smoke. It was definitely fuel and not oil. Smelled like running really rich. I let warm for about 10 min with some rips of the throttle to try to blow everything out. Left the dock with no issues. When I went to throttle up to plane...

Well I got the quote back today from the local canvas shop. Wow!! $5380 for all. Keep in mind this does include all new stainless frames, mounts (no straps), panels, isinglass, the works. Question is, how much value does a full camper package really add? This is almost as much as I paid...

Wow, we just got pounded with storms. Tornados confirmed and straight line winds. I knew it was coming so made sure everything was secure yesterday. However, I've heard rumors that Tornado confirmed in Percy Priest area. I can't get marina on the phone so leaving work early and heading down...

I've got a small leak into bilge. Pump is running about 10 seconds every 45 min or so. I suspect bellows since lower cable was replaced at the beginning of last season but really don't know. Didn't keep in the water last year so didn't think too much of it but now that I think about it I...

Running my TV setup today on my Jump Box inverter, the TV screen went green and it made a very loud screeching noise. Now the TV won't power on (LED won't even light up). I checked the power cord with my multimeter and it's good so must have fried something on the circuit board. Crap!! Money...
