So I have a new fun tool, a nice Graco airless paint sprayer. I bought it to paint our finished basement that’s in progress and today while doing the ceiling it dawned on me how quick I could coat the bottom I’ve used petit hydrocoat eco for years with great results, and the petit documentation...

Curious if anyone here has used any of the ebay "custom" EVA's? We have a name brand on our 410 right now, Aquamarine deck. At probably no fault of the product itself, the swim platform glue is starting to fail and the cockpit isn't far behind. I say no fault of the product because the...

Hi all, I’m at the point where I need to bring my new Isotherm fridge down to the boat for install and it dawned on me that I’ve never considered whether it can be laid down for transport. A quick google shows varying results, mainly to let it sit for a period of time so the oil can settle...

Anyone have any experience with robotic/drone Hull cleaners? They’ve come down a bit in price and I’m wondering how good the tech is. Expensive to buy for personal use but I’m thinking about pitching it as a group buy at our marina so we can all share it. I’m sure loopers coming through (we get...

Anyone looking for a deal on a new Searay? ;) pretty good price on that 400

does anyone have any experience with hull shield or competiting ultrasonic products that promise antifouling performance? Specifically, I'm looking for fresh water experience. I could see these products helping with physical growth attachment like mussels or barnacles but where we are the main...

You just don’t see many of these in our area…Pershing 108 making its way toward the welland. specs on paper say max speed of 42kt with twin MTU 2000’s beauty

I bought my 4 year old a 24v ATV for his birthday. He loves it and it gets decent range, about an hour at full throttle in the grassy back yard. the batteries are 2 x 9ah SLA 12v wired in parallel to 24v my question, if I buy a spare set and want to charge them with a 12v charger is it as...

Hey guys, our 7.6btd only has 130 hours on it since 2002 and 40 of them were put on by us in the last two years. it starts right up and runs ok but at the end of last year and now into this season it’s hunting just a tiny bit without load. If I put a load on it the voltage smooths out it...

All the ceramic talk around here made me stumble upon an inflatable kit that glidcoat makes for hypalon and pvc. We have our brand new pvc Highfield that I’d like to keep looking new for as long as possible. Does ceramic coating pvc even make sense...

I've discussed my obsession with Nordhavn's on here before but I just can't get enough of these detailed walkthroughs. This tour of the 68 is unbelievable. So many systems, most of which are at least N+1, and so well laid out.

This has been talked about a million times but thought I would share some recent experience. I’ve used 303 fabric guard for a long time annually to waterproof our sunbrella tops. It takes usually 1/2-3/4 gallon to really soak the tops for our 410, and 303 isn’t cheap. This year I tried...

My new Suzuki should be here tomorrow so this one is up for grabs. Pickup only in Rochester NY $650 9.8HP 2 stroke. Runs great, idles down properly. Replaced coils, wires, plugs, and cleaned carb 2 years ago. Lower unit oil and impeller done annually. Used on our 10’ inflatable probably about...

Hi all, looking for some safety (or other) input on something I'd like to add this summer We use an electric pump for the dinghy, water toys, etc., and lifting the hatch to get DC is a PIA. I would like to add remote DC posts to the lazarette - why wouldn't this be a good idea? I would use...

I know this is a very polarizing topic but I thought I would start a thread to track some product changes I'll be making this spring to my polish and waxing process I've been a 3M fan forever, and I still am to some extent, but I was put off by a couple changes they made last year: changed...

I made the leap of tearing out the 20 year old cabin carpet from our 2002 410DA to replace with waterproof vinyl plank flooring. I've done this project but on a much smaller scale in our 1998 290DA, so I have a process in mind. This is a completely different beast than our old boat, though...

Anyone ever been on the newer Nordhavn 41? It looks to be an amazing setup for its size and I love the fully mechanical power. completely different boat from any of the sea rays we all own but many years down the road for us I could see it fitting the bill. I didn’t check air draft but if it...

Bummer this year again, the Toronto show is cancelled and is virtual only now. I was hoping to get a new dinghy there this year

I’n another thread it seems like there are plenty of us around who fill the winter offseason with furniture and woodworking projects. Let’s share what you’re working on, I’m always looking for new ideas. Here are a few recents in our house. The end table was inspired by a guy on YouTube called...

Anyone used Trick Davits? They look well made and the owner/seller has responded very quickly to my questions. We have 310 air floor right now and plan on getting a Rib but I'mnot sure if it'll be this year or not so the adjustable nature of these is promising. I like the rollers too, and...
