    Baltimore bridge collapse

    The captain doesn't relinquish control of his/her boat and is always responsible for the safety of the boat and crew, even when a pilot is onboard. If the pilot suggested they go full-astern when power came back on, the captain would still be responsible to know that the bow was going to move...

    Mine was an '86 with a rotten plywood transom, it leaked constantly from the swim platform thru-bolts, it was way too heavy to be towing with my S10 Blazer and I detonated the alpha drive on it one night towing a buddy barefooting. I was in college...I learned many things while I owned that...

    Baltimore bridge collapse

    It's amazing what you can find online these days. You can watch the entire trip this boat took from it's dock to the bridge.

    Baltimore bridge collapse

    I read a interesting, seemingly well-informed review of how the boat was being handled in the final minutes. The author of the opinion was claiming that the pilot/captain will have 100% of the blame in this scenario. They stated that the pilot/cpt appear to have ordered full-astern when they...

    Baltimore bridge collapse

    There's a video out there somewhere showing the boat clearly lose power twice before hitting the bridge. Imagine being the harbor pilot onboard that thing....ughh... And what would you even do in that case with total power loss? I wonder if they can even drop anchors at that point. As...

    Problem with Cruisair air condtioning

    This is in 97 400DA? That cabinet and the location of your AC looks a bit strange for a 400DA of this vintage.

    410 Sundancer/Express Cruiser and 400 Sundancer/Express Cruiser **Official Thread**

    Mine powers my autopilot. Does yours have a wire coming from it currently? If so you may have to trace the wire to be certain of the current setup.

    39 Express outboard repower

    I scrolled through that entire THT thread earlier this week. An amazing amount of work that guy did. So cool that he shared photos/updates for the 2 years he spent on it.

    2000 260 Bow Rider

    I assume that boat is a 260 Sundeck? If so I think it's one of the most well regarded bow riders Sea Ray ever made. Many, many happy current and past owners. There is likely a specific thread for that model over in the Sport Boat section of this site. Welcome.

    Good luck with both the sale and the surgery! If that were a 500 at that price I'd be all over it :):)
