    Property in West North Carolina

    I feel certain you’ll find something that meets your criteria. My wife & I are going up again next weekend. We never look for big acreage, but always pick up a real estate magazine or two and always have our eyes open.

    Property in West North Carolina

    Disclaimer…I’m no expert by any stretch. Just my observations & opinions. Weird to say this, but just like buying a boat, your intended use is paramount. If you have some flat land relatively close to that county road, access & utilities may not be a big deal. If your goal is to build a place...

    Property in West North Carolina

    You shouldn’t worry too much about winters in that area. It’s not Florida mind you, but snow is usually heavy, wet snow that is gone the next day. Sure, an occasional storm may stick around a little longer and the Blue Ridge Parkway has sections that may occasionally close. But that’s...

    Property in West North Carolina

    I have spent more than my fair share of time in the area. In a previous life I lived in N.C. & day tripped it to the mountains often. My wife & I still go up there at least once a year. 50 acres “west of Andrews” is quite a bit of elbow room. I’m sure you are well aware of the price per acre...

    Back Surgery

    Hate you are going through it all, but actually a cool story as to how the all too standard surgeries are likely outdated and over implemented. I’ll raise a glass for your continued recovery.

    What to do when your mechanic isn't working out

    I believe it takes a special, highly dedicated type of guy to work on boats in any capacity. It seems to me, in my limited experience, that most guys "fall into" the job of boat mechanic. They don't love it. It's just a job. If it doesn't work out they will move down the road & start replacing...

    Dirty boat thread

    I've seen this boat AFTER a weekend on the water. He is not joking. I thought I saw a spot of dirt on the side window, but apparently it was on my sunglasses. I saw the same spot on my way back to my dock. Absolutely beautiful. Thanks again Brett.

    New boater in Guntersville, AL

    Still around? Yes. I've not been very active (posting) on the site lately, but I still read a lot. If you ever head towards Scottsboro check out what might be happening at Goose Pond.

    I only ask out of pure laziness. Local boat delivery from NY to NJ?

    I still visit CSR every so often. Still playing Dock Master down on dock 1 at Goose Pond. Hopefully you haven’t slipped in and out of G.P. without me knowing. Last time I saw you guys I promised y’all dinner at the marina restaurant…..it’s the season! Stay safe, Michael

    I only ask out of pure laziness. Local boat delivery from NY to NJ?

    Brett I too am at Goose Pond. I keep my 250 down on Dock 1, with the smaller boats. It would be nice to meet you around the marina sometime. Maybe a meal at the restaurant when it opens up for the season. I don’t know if you are new to the area or how often you are around, but If you ever need...

    Mercury Avator electric outboard

    That will end up in the garage closet. Right next to the football bat.

    CSR New Member in AL

    Make sure you call ahead. I'm not even sure they are open in cooler months. Summer months you need to get there early. I would suggest docking at the marina and walking over to the restaurant. Docking at the place is limited & requires navigating some skinny water.

    Hobbies?

    Plus 1 on the depreciated value check. It should be for 100% of the difference in value of pre & post wreck.

    Hobbies?

    I've seen a lot of your videos Dave. I usually say something like "That was Bas Ass." This time I'm speechless.

    Well, it’s not the happiest time in a boaters life...

    Scott, I was just day dreaming about Destiny two days ago. I once thought it would be the perfect boat for me. Its hard to imagine the new owners will take better care of it than you did.

    Seven people unaccounted for after fire destroys 35 boats in AL

    This happened about 10 or 12 miles upstream from my marina. The official cause will not be released for quite some time, but as I have told others, I'm betting on an unapproved bilge heater. Authorities claim they have identified the boat as the source of the fire & have moved it to a secure...

    WATER PAD / LILY PAD --- 3 Layer vs 2 Layer

    I've looked at them. Would love to use one. But my boat is just way too small to lug something that size on and off the boat, not to mention storage.
