So the governor of Michigan has signed an executive order to have the state’s entire fleet of light duty vehicles to be electric by 2033 and all medium and heavy duty vehicles by 2040. I guess that’s what makes a market. Wait,,,no, it’s the exact opposite. In fact it’s Fascism. I can’t wait...

I just picked up a 2007 Zodiac Yacht Line 340. It has a 25 hp Yamaha, 4 stroke, carbureted engine. It is on a trailer. It had been in storage in a winterized state for the past 3 years. A new battery and a carburetor clean up, it purss like a kitten. The engine had 56 hours on it at...

I recently purchased a new (to me) dinghy so it is time to send the "old" dinghy to its new owner. I have a 2007 (I need to double check that year) West Marine 350 Rib. It has a 15 hp Mercury, 4 stroke, tiller steer, outboard. The outboard was serviced last spring with new water pump...

A few friends here in town are starting to talk about chartering (with a Captain) a power catamaran in the South Florida area. Nothing specific at all at this stage. Maybe a run from FTL to EYE or a there and back to the Bahamas. With all of the experience on this board, I figured some folks...

We are in Oxford, MD today. We took the dinghy up Town Creek to check things out. We come upon a HUGE catamaran which I believe to be a Silent 60. However, there are no badges on the boat. Nothing. The YouTube channel, NautiStyles reviewed one a while back. If the same, it has 13 kW of...

Resurrecting an old forum because it seems like the proper place to put this. I just changed out the radio on my 2006 Sea Ray 48. I believe that the Raymarine VHF-240 is either original or an upgrade by the previous owner, circa 2013. Anyway, it is out of the boat now. There are four major...

This is a YouTube Channel that I watch to while away the winter hours. It is the first Sea Ray that I've seen them do. Posting this link before I even watch it. Jaybeaux

As a pie-eyed, almost 7 year old, I watched with great attention the journey of Apollo 11 as they landed on the moon and Neil Armstrong made his historic walk. It's hard to believe that was 52 years ago! A fantastic accomplishment for the people of NASA and for people all over the world.

Well, it's starting....sooner than I had hoped. Prices are going up. All this free money is putting pressure on supply. So with a new occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, let's keep track of the cost of a few things. Gasoline: $2.04 ---> $2.39 per gallon Booze, 1.5 L $26.31 ---> $29.47...

Looking for advice, recommendation, etc for a good fairing compound for below the waterline use. I have a few gelcoat blisters that I am going to address this winter while my boat is on the hard. The blisters have been "popped" and are drying. Next step is to sand/grind the edges back in...

the Edmund Fitzgerald and her 29 crew were lost in Lake Superior 17 miles north northwest of Whitefish Point, Michigan. May they rest in peace.

While in Costco the other day, I saw that they were selling a Kirkland branded 15W40 Heavy Duty Diesel Oil. In previous years, they had sold Shell Rotella T4 15W40. I've been on the lookout for it this year, but haven't seen it. Then this Kirkland branded stuff shows up. Works out to...

I may have posted before, in the old world, pre-Corona Virus, about friends who are buying a new boat up in Connecticut and then plan to bring her home to DC on her own bottom. The trip is starting in Norwalk, CT; travel through NYC, and outside the Jersey Shore to Atlantic City for our first...

Background: 2004 420. Has KVH Satellite TV on hardtop. If you zoom in, you can see that the running/anchor light comes out of the base of the satellite receiver dome. If you zoom in on the other picture, you see the dome is a DV3, TracVision4. My assumption is that the receiver is...

245 years ago today, brave men in Lexington and Concord faced the mightiest army on the face of the earth. A rag-tag unit, armed with righteousness and divine providence, changed the course of history and created the greatest country the world has ever seen. I pray that we are able to keep it.

Tonight, on Tucker Carlson's show, Tucker was lamenting about the 100's of millions of dollars that Mike Bloomberg spent on his failed election attempt. "If you want to waste that much money, buy a boat" ---Tucker Carlson LOL

I have a buddy who is wanting to buy a boat and keep it in coastal South Carolina. He has been looking (web searches) at DeFevers. From what he says, the DeFevers get snatched up quickly. He is asking me about Carvers. He is looking for something in the 45-55 foot range. Does anyone care to...

I just replaced my dash panel as a result of an electronics upgrade project. I have for sale, very cheap, a 2004 420 Dash Panel, burl wood finish, and as a bonus, I have the Tri-Data and RNav 300 GPS. Both are functional. The GPS would have problems getting a "fix" sometimes, but I am under...
