Out here on the left coast, the electric Duffy boats seem to be around most of the harbors and marinas. They are manufactured in the desert, about 100 miles inland from Los Angeles in the town of Adelanto, California. I have been looking for a used Duffy for the past year or so to use around...

I’m doing some winter maintenance on the boat and decided to have my fish locker hatch re gelcoated and the under side glassed and painted. One of these plastic latches is missing that I would like to replace. I struck out at the local WM. I looked through Flounder Pounder’s website and also had...

Here on the left coast, most if not all of the dinghy docks limit the size of the tender to 14'. Our little Achilles RIB does a great job of getting us to and from the Sea Ray, but it would be nice to have a larger boat, up to the 14' limit to use to explore Catalina and cruise around the...

I was watching the NFL yesterday and an interview with Brian Robinson, a rookie running back with Washington. He appeared in the locker room with a cartoonish looking big hat on and announced to the press corps that his friend owns a “big hat” company and if anyone wanted a big hat to let him...

Has anyone here changed their hailing port with the USCG? I went on to their website looking for a form, but couldn't find anything directly on point.

I brought my Achilles rib dinghy home last weekend to repair one of my Weaver davit pads. With the little boat on dry land up on a set of saw horses, I decided it was a great time to throughly clean the boat. I used my trusty Boat Cleaner Pro on the tubes to get them clean and with the dink...

I wasn't there in person to see this, but my friend was on his boat directly behind "Zephyr" which I believe was a 60'+ yacht that was on a mooring close to the famous Casino and the fuel dock. The rumor is Zephyr caught fire in the late afternoon due to the generator. The passengers were all...

I was hoping to find someone here that keeps their boat in Middle River Maryland. In our 450 Express Bridge thread, I believe I have located the first 450EB that Sea Ray ever produced in 1998 owned currently by "Bruce Rogers." The name of the boat according to the USCG is "Wayfarer." If you know...

A month ago, a nut case "animal activist" attempted to super glue her hands to the court at an NBA game: It happened again two weeks ago at another game: Now the protests have been taken to the heartbeat of the nation, Starbucks! Washed up actor James Cromwell has successfully glued...

I’m wondering if her recent Covid diagnosis gave her the opportunity to negotiate with MSNBC? Regardless of the motive, I’m glad I won’t have to see or hear her in the future. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.foxnews.com/media/jen-psaki-leaving-white-house-msnbc-media.amp

I remember I had posted a question about this model a year or so ago, but I can't seem to find it. It seems to be quite rare as far as a Sea Ray produced boat. The information I have found seems to suggest there were problems with the 3196 Cats when they were produced and one of our former CSR...

Let's see what CSR has to say on who will win this year's tournament. I like KU's draw with only one tough opponent to keep them out of the final four. I think they would have won it in 2020 with that team and Bill Self has a good group this year. Rock Chalk!

I ran into this picture today after hearing this morning that our yacht club had to cancel their New Year's party due to poor weather/sea conditions and Covid concerns. 25 to 30 knot winds are predicted with a 4'-6' west swell. Nice reminder to stay in the slip to ring in the New Year!

I'm hauling out my boat next month for bottom paint and the Admiral wants underwater lights. In my limited research, here is what I have come up with so far: 1. Lumitec SeaBlaze Typhoon: https://www.lumiteclighting.com/seablaze-typhoon-through-hull-underwater-light.html 2. Shadowcaster...

I received this notice from my marina today.

We are going to Buccaneer Days this weekend for the first time, staying in Cherry Cove. Has anyone else here been in the past? Looks like a good time! https://www.visitcatalinaisland.com/bucc-days/

We were looking at an Aquila 44' catamaran recently here on the west coast that is a fairly rare sight. In speaking with owner, he told us that Marine Max had a program where you could charter an Aquila. I found the Marine Max Vacations website listing all of the vacation and charter program...

I upgraded from a 9hp Nissan/Tohatsu carbureted outboard to a 15hp Suzuki EFI electric start this past fall. With the old Nissan, at the end each trip I would always disconnect the fuel supply line and run the engine dry to prevent any gunk or issues with the ethanol fuel we have here in...

This ad for a 2000 Sea Ray 450 EB claims that it comes with Sea Ray’s transferable “Wrap Around” warranty. I searched a bit and found warranty information for 2015 and newer Sea Rays, but nothing about a boat this old. I suspect this is a less than accurate claim in the ad, but wanted to see...

I was talking with a boating friend this weekend who mentioned that as an alternative to an expensive and maintenance intensive watermaker, that he used a pair of 45 gallon portable water bladders to extend his water capacity. Also known as a "pillow tank" he said when his main tank was running...
