The "honey do list" !

Dogs dig'm too!

How many gallons of anti freeze are you using per engine?

All good advice, much appreciated. I was also considering a xetreme marine heating unit for the bildge, any thoughts? The winters in NJ have been a bit harsh these past couple of years.

Any thoughts on covering the engine room air vents during winter storage ? I'm storing in the water in a covered shed and trying to decide what's best, to keep air circulation in the engine room or keep the cold air out.

Ocean A and Sea Ray should consider a joint venture to build high quality, practical, mid range 45-55 yachts/motor yachts suitable for the us market. There seems to be a huge void right now if you want to buy a new boat of that design. Before the economy tanked in the late 2000's, the Taiwan...

Thanks for the info, we are using a vest with a handle, only thing is I'm not seeing my 120lb wife pulling my 90lb wet dog out of the water. I think they'll both end up in the drink. I do appreciate the suggestions.

Great ideas, we're using the "Petstep" for boarding at the dock, it's an easy transition from boat to dock and back. But, I was looking to come up with something to get my 90 lb Lab onto the boat should she go over the side when I'm not around and my wife has to deal with getting her out of the...

I have a feeling Sea Ray might be building yachts again before you know it, it's a good way to regroup and take advantage of the outboard market that is on fire right now. Boater's seem to always be looking towards their next purchase. Literally, the day after you close on the boat you just...

Thanks for the link, I'm sure Viking is happy, they can get those monster's out of the factory without scratching them now.

Never met Rob, but looking at the models under his watch, seems to me he did a great job at the helm. I always considered Sea Ray a trend setter and not so much a trend follower. Somewhere along the way, they seemed to become more of a follower with the whole "euro thing" in their big boat...

CG, you may want to consider joining marinalife its a great cruising resource and has a great cruise planning feature that I used on a number of occasions. I made the Chesapeake to NJ trip early spring on several occasions, call ahead to get a heads up on when fuel docks are going to be open...

Before you buy go to boatdiesel.com to do a little research on the motors and genny its got to get some insight on what the maintenance issues might be you can pickup some good info there before you put your cash down get a good diesel guy to do your survey.

Cruising Bay Head

I'd go to boatdiesel.com to see what they've got to say about the issue.

Hey James, my base is Canal Point Marina so if you decide to head there the contact is Karyn 1 732 899 8010 for both CPM and Johnson's. tell her you prefer not to be in the Yacht Club basin it is right off the canal and could be a bit tricky if you are not familiar with the current of the canal...

Re: 3rd Annual Dominic Annunziata Memorial Rendezvous -Farley State Marina, Atlantic The wife and I would love to attend this year to get to know some of the folks in the club. Unfortunately it will be via land yacht due to conflicting plans also going on that same weekend that won't give us...

Thanks I checked out their YouTube video it was pretty informative I'm going with the offshore version. Based in NJ I need to run outside to avoid the shallow parts of the icw from time to time.

Looking to buy a couple of self inflating life jackets that can be worn comfortably while traveling suggestions on brands and experience with these would be appreciated.

Used John Pepe 410 726 3453 he was knowledgeable when it came to Sea Ray boats and informative. Good luck with your search and purchase.
