    My Paradise

    Oh yeah...Richard was there. He can attest to the drunk dude in the cowboy hat! Must've been John. -Ken

    My Paradise

    Nice dock. Is that at Tyndall AFB? Looks like it to me. I think I saw you Labor day at Shell Island --you helped us stern- back to shore with the anchors about 7:30 pm Sunday. You were either the drunk guy in the cowboy hat, or the fairly sober fellow helping us get set up. In any event...

    Regalownersclub.com

    Yes, it is just sour grapes from the regaownersclub.com owner. He also owns and operates the web hosting site ECUI.com. The link is a simple redirect to SeaRay. The guy (Ed Unreinoops...sorry --did not mean to mention names) is a real jerk and he wanted to sell the site to Regal Corp...

    Funny thing happening at the Regalowners forum URL...

    Ha-ha. Nope....I had nothing to do with it. The Regal forum was really good --it had lots of camaraderie going on, just like the old SRO forum and now your ClubSeaRay. The big difference in closing the Regal forum vs. SRO is that the guy "Ed" did not even post anything after pulling...

    Funny thing happening at the Regalowners forum URL...

    ...it now directs you to Sea Ray! http://www.regalowners.com/ The story: Last month the Regal forum was pulled by the independent (not Regal) owner of the site. He then placed a "for sale" at the closed site. Now, he has it directed to Sea Ray. I guess he was mad that Regal...

    June 7-10-2007 Panama City Beach Rendezvous

    Hampton, Yep....I was kidding --actually Frank and I are friends. He went with me to pick up my Regal at Perdido Key for delivery. We usually boat on weekdays. You'll run into us --we have the only Regal 3560/3760 in Bay county. Have fun tomorrow! Ken

    Panama City Get Together

    I was out at Shell Island today, and saw two of the celebrities aboard fwebster's mega boat --It was Frank and Fran Webster and Wesley Riley and wife! I tried to get their autographs, but they snubbed me 'cause we were in a lowly Regal. 'Can't blame them....I would trade my Regal for...

    June 7-10-2007 Panama City Beach Rendezvous

    We were at Shell Island in Panama City today (Thursday) aboard the token Regal (Mystic Sun), and had a drive-by sighting of Frank Webster (Sirens' Song) and Wesley Riley (First Born) with their wifes + two dogs, as they cruised by us on Franks mega-boat. Rumor was... that Jeremy and wife was...

    Cruise from Panama City to Destin on the inside

    Nope....easy cruising through the ditch between West Bay and Choctawatchee Bay. Follow whatever markers are on the chart in West Bay and Choctaw, but don't worry too much about the ditch. It's very similar to your trip east of PC in the canal. -Ken

    June 7-10-2007 Panama City Beach Rendezvous

    Sure, boats of all sizes are overnighting most every night in the summer behind Shell Island. Redfish Point and Smack Bayou also come to mind. You could even sneak in a shower at the state park if you could find room at the small basin walls for a short visit. So yes, it's very doable as an...

    How to recharge holding tank vent filter -- w/pics

    Dave, .....What a neat system --I wish mine was as easy to get to as yours! Like osd9 says, you can certainly cut off center....or use a no-hub coupling.........or make your own completely from scratch. Also, you could just make an extension tube out from the tank fitting to allow for more...

    How to recharge holding tank vent filter -- w/pics

    Good question. Who knows....the experts say every year. After spending $100 last year changing the filter, I was just going to wait until I had deck odor before swapping it again. Now, for $5 I'll swap it out regularly. I'll tell you this: the charcoal works --the foam pad on the tank...

    How to recharge holding tank vent filter -- w/pics

    At SRO, several members had talked about refilling their holding tank vent filters. I recently did mine, and it saved about $100 bucks. I had been buying the filter from the manufacturer, because the larger size is not usually stocked anywhere else...

    Mounting Dinghy system

    Good job, Peter. The measurements are correct. Also, the "E" measurement will rise up to about 3 1/2" on each side. The "A" loop will be about 10" long. The "B" loop will be about 19" long. The straight run between A and B will be 8 1/2". I use the word "about", because there are bends...

    Mounting Dinghy system

    Ken, can you tell me (in % or in inch) on which length on the davit platform (40") the pivot point is? The pivot point is 22" from the trailing edge, 18" from the rounded front (towards the transom). If you hold the pivot point in your hands, the weight bias is slightly to the trailing...

    Mounting Dinghy system

    I knew Frank would comment about the toe stubbers!! The brackets are no problem for my size 15 feet, and Teresa can even trip on the non-skid texture --hehe... -Ken

    Mounting Dinghy system

    1. What are the brackets sizes? (Total, first half, second half, in between etc.) I used 10" brackets. Different size swim platforms will requre different length brackets for proper set up. There is a formula on the Hurley site to size the brackets for their system. Basically you take 1/2...

    Mounting Dinghy system

    Peter, As Stihlbolts mentioned, I recently installed the Hurley system and conceptually the idea works for all the reasons that you refer to above. I also agree that you could make your own brackets. This type of system enables you to run with the dinghy horizontal with the motor still...
