Hi, We'll be cruising the Chesapeake for the next two weeks and would like to tuck in for a night on the Rappahannock. Do you have a recommendation for a marina in or near the mouth of the river? Thanks in advance.

It sounds like a nightmare to me but we're doing it for the kids -- a trip to Busch Gardens in August. I've heard the marinas close to Busch Gardens on the James River side offer no protection. Any recommendations for marinas on the York River side or better alternatives? Thanks in advance.

Seriously. Why can we plug into shore power and connect to shore water but we can't hook up to shore sewer? As anyone seen anything like this? - Michael

Good evening folks. Have any particular cleaning solvent that works well on shore power cables? Thanks in advance, - Michael

So.... I just picked up my fresh water hose and doused my shoes, discovering that I didn't properly drain it at the end of last season. How all that water stayed in the hose during the car trip home is beyond me. Anyhow... any advice for cleaning/purifying the interior of the hose? Thanks. -...

Apparently, boats anchor in the Delaware right outside the BB&T Pavilion in Camden, NJ to listen to concerts. It sounds like it would be really fun and, at the same time, could also be a mad-house at night. Anyone have an info/experience with this? Any local knowledge in the group? Thanks in...

On my new boat, I don't have a lot of above deck storage space - cockpit lockers, etc. However, I have a large size engine room. What clever ideas have you had to create storage units and containers along with hanging storage (for lines and hoses, etc.) in your engine room or other bilge...

Hi, I need to install chocks on my hydraulic swim platform. I've been researching my a$$ off and have found that SeaLift sells their flush mount chocks separately. They promote that they can easily be made flush when you want to use the platform. But, "easily" and anything related to...

I'm interested... why did you pick your current boat? Why the particular model? Why the particular year? What were you comparing it against? What was most important to you in your selection process? Etc.

I'm starting this thread because Rocket asked me why I purchased a 2015 Prestige 550 Fly over a new Sea Ray. I traded up from my 420DB which I absolutely loved. She treated me well as I did her. Since comparing boats is often a difficult if not a futile endeavor -- there are so many variables...

Does anyone have experience using the Shakespeare CA-VAT Cellular Booster Kit? If so, do you find it's a good investment? Do you find that it truly boosts cell signals in a noticeable and significant way? Or, if you have another recommendation, I'd love to hear about it. Thanks! - Michael

I recently sold my 420 Sedan Bridge. However, I have all the carpet for the cockpit and flybridge. It'll fit a 420 or 44 DB. It's gray in color and in great shape. I'm willing to give it away for free if you're willing to pick it up in New Hope, PA. I tried to sell it last year but didn't get...

I have 4 Marinco 30AMP/125V Shore Power Cables. I will sell individually, in pairs or all four. They retail for $90 on Amazon. I'm selling for $40 each. Pick up in New Hope, PA or I can ship. I don't know how much it'll cost to ship them. They're not light. They have regular wear and tear as...

Is the 55/58 DB like the 420/44 DB in that they are essentially the same boat with minor changes over the 05, 06 and 07 periods? Thanks in advance for your help. - Michael

I installed the new Hurley H30 davit this weekend and it's working great. Here's a video of me launching and retrieving the dingy (Walker Bay 8'10" and a LEHR 9.9): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIiZc21fv0M I have a 420 Sedan Bridge and, like many of you, really struggled with the...

... height of the water line to the swim platform on a 2004-2009 Sea Ray 420/44 Sedan Bridge? Thanks so much.

I need to get to the anchor light on the soft top to my flybridge. I'd like to do so without killing myself. Any suggestions? Any tricks? I'm desperate because my tech "fixed" it but it's still not working so I'm just going to get it done myself.

It seems like the 47 Sedan Bridge wasn't a popular or well received boat. At least, it doesn't seem like there are many out there. If this is the case, why? Personally, I think it has the best interior design/layout of any of the DB's. Was the hull not well engineered? Was it under-powered...

Best offer takes 'em http://s1265.photobucket.com/user/portauthority1/library/Sea%20Ray%20420%20Sedan%20Bridge%20carpet These are in EXCELLENT shape. I made a point to take pictures of any fraying. No stains. No discoloration. Even have carpet for top of the flybridge hatch. I replaced them...

Hi guys, I have 80 mil Strataglass on my bridge front windows. When it rains I have absolutely no visibility whatsoever. Why we don't have wipers on the hard plastic eludes me. In any event... Anyone have a technique or product that repels the rain water thereby improving visibility? - Port
