Ongoing problem. Snakes on the boat. I have not found one inside yet but they love to hang out on the transom, gunnels , etc. I am in NC and the boat stays in the water at my dock. Water moccasins and Copperheads are a concern.
How the hell do I keep them off the boat!!
Kind of interesting that Taylor Swift's first magazine cover as an unknown 16 yr old aspiring artist was Sea Ray living magazine (2006). Seems the family had a 420DA and a Sundeck on Old Hickory lake, Tn. Her Dad was a Merrill Lynch Financial type.
Parked this thread in the Tiki bar for those who may be interested. We moved to a house on the water not too long ago and moved to an outboard boat (2006 Hydra Sports 2900VX twin Yamaha 250s) with a small cabin, genny, and head (gotta keep the admiral happy). Anyway buying is a shit show so I...
Well hell.....just sold the boat in 2 days on boat trader. Buyers drove 6.5 hrs and bought it on the spot after a sea trial.
Decided we need an outboard boat for the boating we do now. We now live on the water with a dock and do mostly day trips. Looking at 29' walkarounds with twin outboards...
Our boat sits on a fresh water canal off the Trent river in NC. We run out to the Neuse River (salty but not as much as Ocean) then sometimes to the ICW (full salt). So when I return, my last several miles is in fresh water before docking. So am I good?....or do I still need to flush engine etc.?
I have a large (see pic) boat fender, brand new, for sale.......$125.

On rainy days there are several spots of gelcoat discoloration on my top deck. On sunny days it is nearly invisible unless you look hard for it.
Old damage repair?......or maybe factory hull mold defect?
Vacu-flush fun! Vacu-flush was cycling every 3 minutes. The bowl was holding water but it was losing vacuum somewhere, hence the cycling pump. I threw some parts at it and finally hit on the right one. I replaced all 4 duck bill valves, ball gasket, & the water valve at the toilet (it had a...
Hey guys bought a boat in this crazy market. Not a Sea Ray (I looked at several 340DAs and an Amberjack but none worked out) So anyway, I bought a CY 3375 re-powered in 2018...twin 7.4MPI inboards). Brought it home to my dock in New Bern, NC from Carolina Beach, NC. Stopped for the night in...
Boat hunt continues. The market is a zoo for buyers and good times for sellers.
Was set on a 40' or so twin diesel but have decided on a 33-36' gas for now.
Anybody know a good surveyor in Wilmington, NC area?
Just bought a house that shares a dock with the house next door.
I talked to the neighbor and apparently dock was built in early nineties by prior owners of both properties and no written agreement exists.
It is on the property line with half on each property.....(40' long).
I want to have...
Getting serious about moving to this area next year. Have looked at many properties on the water. Will be back down this weekend 8/1/20 looking at a few houses. Would love to get out on the water for that perspective of the area......anybody boat around here? Boat rental / tours all seemed to be...
A good friend picked up a 2002 220 Sundeck needing an engine. He installed a reman short block and all is well except there is an "extra" bit of wiring that he cannot identify or figure where it goes? I have attached a few pics.....anybody know?
Pretty cool. It it starts in Greece, just drag the map over to the States and click your start and stop points......pretty neat.
You can put in multiple start and stop points and get a total distance...
I've been playing guitar for 40 plus years. Played on the road in early 80's with a band but got tired of being broke LOL. Got a haircut and a job about '86 but still play daily.
My cousin just gifted me this 1970 Gibson ES335! He has owned it since were were both about 14 years old and...
Well I went and did it. Started doing some life math and decided the timing is right to sell. I sent a text to boat friend I knew was looking and 4 days later...sold! I keep a very clean boat and the buyers were quite impressed.
Well, boat shopping is fun and I may wind up with another Sea Ray...
