I have the exact same problem as Iprof, forward stanchion lost the seal. I have a soft spot as well, although smaller. I have been debating what to do, if anything, for some time now. This winter I am resealing all deck hardware, stanchions, hatches, horn and cleats with epoxy.

Welcome to CSR! Where in Milwaukee are you? We are at McKinley Marina, slip N43.

I believe all the Weekenders of that vintage came with cable steering. I know mine is a cable and steers very easily. IMO I don't see the need for power steering on one of these vessels. I stand corrected, I guess the option was available.

We have used Dreamscape Transport Inc.. The owner is Nels Johnson, very nice person and great rates. I would highly recommend you call him for a rate quote. His phone number is 262-308-3650.

A refresh is a good idea. Jon &Peggy 1989 30' Sea Ray Weekender Slip N-39 McKinley Marina Milwaukee, WI

Sweet looking boat! There seems to be a lot of these 300 Sundancers & Weekenders around.

We live in Waukesha, so the drive to Port Washington is about equal to the drive to Winthrop Harbor. There is a Skipper Bud's here in Pewaukee, but once again, no access to the boat while in storage.

Dafish, The rate is $6.00 per square ft., much cheaper than the going rate of $8.00 in the Milwaukee area. Almost all storage facilities will allow no access to the boat while in storage. At Maritime you can do anything with exception of sanding off bottom paint for obvious reasons...

Mike, We will be in the East building, backing in the tall center door from the North. We did mention you sent us, so you should get a discount for that?

Thanks for the suggestion, DaFish. We signed the contract and paid for the winter season at Maritime. Super nice people to deal with and beautiful, heated, well lit storage buildings. They even gave me a lesson on how to use the huge pressure washer there! Needless to say we were sold! Escapade...

Escapade, Thank You! We are taking a tour of Maritime this afternoon.

We just found out our winter storage spot is no longer available. Does anyone have any suggestions for indoor storage for a 30ft Sea Ray on a trailer? We have found a few buildings available but we would have no access to the boat until 5/1/14. Being able to do some minor repairs is top...

The guy at the fuel dock did not say anything about Valvetech being added. I have heard of no engine or fuel related problems in the marina.

We paid $4.34 at McKinley Marina in Milwaukee last Sunday. This was the same price as of 5/5/13 when the fuel dock opened for the season. Car gas on land is at around $3.39. McKinley gas is also 10% ethanol, just like the car gas. I have been adding Valvetech. Next fill I plan on calling around...

We always turn everything off except the battery charger. Water heater gets us hot water very quickly when we board. I always close all seacocks as well.

Welcome to CSR from the other side!

We have 2 free nights transient dockage in Racine, so we will likely stay a Saturday night or 2 during Salmonarama. We have the boat in a slip at Mckinley Marina in Milwaukee. Only use the trailer to transport to and from the marina. We are on vacation this week, so tomorrow we are headed out...

Very nice catch! Had the boat out yesterday for the 1st time since purchase last October. Busy adjusting all the new fishing gear. Can't wait for Salmonorama! http://salmon-a-rama.com/ Tight lines, Bella Luna

Welcome to CSR from a fellow member slightly to the north of you! :smt038

I never get much further than page 3 or 4 before I forget what I was looking for as well! :huh: Last month I bought the HDS-10 from Cabella's for $1799.00. I was standing in the store with the box in my hands so I knew it was no scam! :thumbsup:
