To the point....DIDn't work for me!! Today I went out solely to practice docking, with a spring line. I lined up with the slip. Got in close enough to place the starboard stern line on a cleat on the dock. Continued to back up. When the slack was taken, the bow started drifting to port...

I've been researching ALOT lately on the "NEXT BOAT". My main choice until recently has been the 290 Amberjack. Love the Sea Ray Cabin. The fishing stuff seems to be an afterthought though, especially the live bail well/bait station. The Seating isn't great on deck to cruise. BUT did I say...

What do you guys do to clean up or prevent the waxing/polishing from sticking to the bottom paint at the water line? It's been my biggest battle to clean this up because it just looks like a$$ after I'm done polishing/compounding/waxing etc. I get good results with shine but then there is...

Is it true new boats no longer come with overboard pump out systems? If this is the case, I may get rid of my system since I rarely off go 3 miles off shore. Will this affect resale on my oldie? I like simplicity - one less system to maintain.

I was quoted by a local trailer dealer 200 bucks per side for the "baby bunks" or "front center bunks" as seen in the picture below. Thats 400 bucks for bunks, I don't think so! Where can I get the hardware to make this style of bunks as shown? I want the square type of pipes seen here not...
