    Phone Apps, what are your favorites?

    Thanks for downloading the app! Adding the MMSI field is simple and something that I add to our roadmap. As for the crash... First, the "i" indicates an incomplete entry and means you're missing some required fields. The crashing could be a couple different things. It could be corrupted...

    Update

    dwna1a and GFC... I just want to add to what others have already said and wish you both the best. I'm now 12 years in remission from non-hodgkins lymphoma... while this is not the same as what you guys are going through, I'm throwing it out as a way of saying that although the news is...

    Polaris to shut down production of Rinker and other lines

    That was great timing for the Vogel family who sold Bennington, Godfrey, Hurricane and Rinker to Polaris last year when the value was ~$805M. Horrible timing for Polaris to make that acquisition. And good timing for our old buddy Rob Parmentier who sold Larson to Polaris last year from Marquis...

    Phone Apps, what are your favorites?

    Hello all!!! It's been awhile since I've been here but I wanted to revive an old thread and let you know that I'm releasing a major new version of Boating Suite this Thursday, April 16th. It's a complete re-write of the app and I think you'll like it. With all of us under lockdown, this is a...

    Who has cut the cord?

    We cut the cord earlier this year and couldn't be happier. It wasn't as much about the money as it was about the convenience and the fact that everything will be streaming eventually so I might as well get onboard. We were paying $140/mo for DirecTV with no premium channels - not bad. If I...

    What's the best place to get a used boat value? Selling my 2010 22 Sundeck

    You'll want to look at prices for all similar boats regardless of the manufacturer on CL, boat trader, boats.com, etc. to get an idea of what the market will bear. You can't price a boat like a car. For example, a 2006 Honda Accord will have a very specific price that is different than a 2005 or...

    Official 280 Sundancer Thread

    Did you check for an outlet behind the sliding door under the microwave? As I mentioned above, that's where mine was located.

    Official 280 Sundancer Thread

    My '08 280 had a 12v outlet in the galley behind the sliding door under the microwave. I used it for the coffee maker and to charge my laptop.

    Official 280 Sundancer Thread

    I absolutely loved my 2008 280DA. We had it for 4 seasons and it still ranks as my favorite boat of the ones we've owned over the years. With that said, once you own it and start to spend more time on it, there are things you start to notice that you wish you could change. Overall, it's a great...

    Help me identify this boat

    Yup, that was on Tonka docked outside of Cōv last week. There’s not a single place on the lake for that thing to go fast. Agree with all the other comments too. It looks even more impressive in person but that interior does look like a VIP table in Vegas.

    trucks what old is new again

    Rust is obviously a huge issue here in MN with our winters and all of the chemicals they use on the roads. Wash, wash, wash!!! Sadly, washing in the driveway doesn’t cut it anymore because you can’t get in the nooks and crannies. My wife and I both do the unlimited car wash membership at...

    2005 260 DA steering wheel

    My ‘08 280 had a 3/4 tapered and keyed shaft. As noted, 3/4 is standard... my ‘97 Cobalt is 3/4.

    Help me identify this boat

    The interior doesn't look like it's meant to get wet. It definitely looks like a Nor-Tech but I can't place the specific year and model. It has the lines of a 477 SPX but when you look at the SPX pics online, none that I see have the 2 windows. Also, the interior layout is closer to a 42 MC...

    Help me identify this boat

    Does anyone know the make/model of this boat? It was docked at a restaurant on our lake last week. Sweet boat - love the matte paint - but there weren't any markings to indicated the brand.

    Facebook and forums...

    You're not far from the future. Why wouldn't (shouldn't) this be the case. Back in the day I would get an oil change every 3,000 miles and rotate the tires every other oil change. Now, my truck tells me when to get an oil change and rotate the tires - usually 10,000 miles or more based on my...

    Too Hot!!!!!

    Ya know, those of us in the northern climates hate to hear people say it’s too hot to boat :). There’s no such thing as “too hot” up here. Even in the dog days of summer when it’s mid-90’s and humid as heck, we just find some shade or jump in the water to cool off (a cold one in your hand helps...

    Movin on

    Henry, What a great boat! Congrats to you and your wife. I will say that your participation here has been extremely helpful and I hope you will stick around. You don't need a Sea Ray to be welcome here. Thank you for all you've done here and best of luck on wherever your travels take you.
