Hello can anyone recommend the best option for replacement tips for an 1982 31 Vanguard? Great Lakes say the don't have patterns that far back

We are going to try and get out there from our slip in East Chicago. Hopefully the wind won't be bad. This had not been a great summer for boating.

Jim M. - I'm sorry I take a little offense to your comment as I am a cop and whenever I do my job I'm always inconveniencing them that is until the poop hits the fan and now I couldn't be there fast enough. I use to work part time for a large metropolitan park district police department that...
There were no small craft advisory for southern Lake Michigan. NOAA said 10 to 15 knot winds with 1 to 3 foot waves. It was much more than that. It took a bit to get back into our slip. I havent been out in rough water like that since our last fishing trip out of Key West. But the kids thought...
We had the boat out on Sunday (East Chicago ) and it was rough we took a few hard waves and we turned right around and went back in. 31' Vanguard and it still was rolling us.

The weather has been not good first part of the season. And now it's been nicer and we haven't been to the boat since the 4th because of daughter's softball tournaments.

I agree about boating into Chicago. There's the new marina at 31st st with 1000 slips. Great way to visit the city. We have a slip in East Chicago and it's nice. Just watch out for weekend Warriors/Capts. There are wonderful beaches at the South end of the Lake and nice towns. We are looking...
Did you look in your owners manual? On one of the last pages they list bulb sizes. If your looking for a replacement colored lens you could try electronics supply companies

Hello, we just bought a 1982 31 Vanguard and are loving the boat so far. We are the third owner and the previous owner had her for 20 years. She was well taken care of. The only problem is there isnt much information out there about these models other than the sales flyers on Sea Ray's web site...
Have you tried furniture replacements? Our boat we bought this year had ones in a package in one of the storage lockers.
