Pulled our Boston Whaler out last winter with temps plummeting. Got her in the garage, and unfortunately did nothing other than park her.
She's loaded with dried algae on her fiberglass body, and I want to get it off before putting her in again. Power wash removed a little, but not much.
She's...
Actually was a pretty serious situation. Some dock folks, an older couple, came into their slip about 10 pm tonight - the lady running down the dock yelling "help, our boat is sinking".
Happened to be on the bridge of our boat, and grabbed a bucket and headed their way with a dock buddy not far...
Did a quick search and didn't see anything.
Next on the to do list is new bow cushions. Instead of just duplicating the lay flat OEM variety, I'd like to see if anyone has changed their lay flat into having the ability to adjust upright?
If so, how'd you do it - and any pics are always welcomed.
Mother Nature smiled on us this past weekend with temps in the 70's and very light wind. Spent the day with the family enjoying the weather, lake, smoked a 14# brisket that was insanely good, some painting at the end of the day and of course - some football. Not S. Florida, but after soooooo...
Aft system (CruisAir) took a dump (16 years old) so am looking to replace it. I've had two guys look at my boat, one recommends Dometic and the other MarinAire?
I've read reviews on both - and they both range from people happy with them to people that think they're terrible.
I like some of the...
Hadn't been to the boat in about 10 days. Arriving today, there were multiple spots of bird excrement. Power washed it off, but it left an outline of the droppings. Scrubbed with a brush, soap and water - but to no avail.
What are you guys using to remove the baked in residual bird crap?
Bought her six weeks ago, and have been patiently waiting while some work and upgrades were done - not to mention the holidays - but she's finally on her way from the cold to her new home. Should be here Wednesday...suppose to be 70 for Super Bowl Sunday, hope to watch it on the hook in a cove -...
New to us boat will be here (DFW area) next week, and we plan on using her year round. As part of prepping her, I had an Xtreme bilge heater installed.
As we're a bit of a drive away, I'm curious if there's a simple, reasonable system to monitor both bilge heat and bilge pump operation - via a...
Looking at the two referenced boats, both 02's. Wife loves the two private cabin and two head layout of the Cruisers. Admittedly for our situation, I do as well. Also really like the huge swim platform. Seemed the interior quality and workmanship was as at least as good on the Cruiser, maybe...
In the process of purchasing an 06' 340DA that will be slipped at Pier 121 on Lewisville.
Want to get some things done to it, and would appreciate any recommendations in the applicable areas:
1. Canvas - has full cockpit cover, but want to do a custom camper like I had on our 370DA - any good...
He guys,
With two out of the house and two still home, my wife and I have decided to downsize a bit after selling our 370.
We're looking at two 07' 340's, both out of state. Depending on some factors, will either be shipping from TN or MO to the Dallas area.
Was given four transporter...
Possible job worth relocating for in the north Dallas area, and wondered if anyone could educate me on a couple of lakes to check into?
I know of Lewisville, and we wouldn't be interested in that scene. Family with a 12 year old Son and 10 year old Daughter, and would like to find something...
Hey Guys,
I've accepted a job flying out of NY, it's commutable - and my family and I are seriously looking to relocate from Colorado to the north side of Charlotte.
We're flying out tomorrow morning to spend 4 days, look at some homes with a RE Agent - and of course, we'll be checking out...
Unfortunately I wasn't a participant due to that job stuff that seems to get in the way at times - but they were able to make the enclosed circle.

Went out the other night, and my spotlight does everything correctly except the up and down movement.
Anyone know where to start looking to correct this?
Kids are outgrowing their dinghy and want to be able to do some tubing. Looking for something non-tiller operated with 40+ hp outboard. Friend had a whaler when younger and thought it was an excellent little unit, so am looking for something along those lines. Looking for 13 to 16 feet.......any...
I have two sets of three battery banks on my boat. It's become clear that one set has the stereo and chartplotter on that bank as it dwindles noticeably after listening to the stereo for some time while not running.
Can one mix in a deep cycle type battery with two starter type batteries in the...
Annoyed at the idea of paying $159 for a one-time use snap in carpet tool.
Does anyone have one they'd like to rent, or sell and recoupe some of their money?
