Wakeup 19 At chance you could share contact info for your installer. As you may remember I bought Frank French's boat Fire & Ice out of your club a few years ago and it's time for a new floor. Yours is looking great. I am over at Watertown YC , hopefully within his distance. Thanks Pxhil

North shore, try American Marine they have a lot of marine window parts including pages of rubber gaskets and trim. As I remember the windsheild rammer is part # 717. At about half the cost of Taylormade. I can't speak to quality just passing along some info I came across. Good lucpxhil

Two recommendations to consider, we stayed at Danvers Port Yacht Club (which is actually a Marina) for 5 years and were very happy with it. Very social marina and includes pool tennis and a restaurant on site. The downside is the 35-40 min. ride down river to beverly Harbor. If you want to avoid...

Try American Marine part #717 as I remember they are much cheaper. pxhil

chandalen yes they do. Couple of years ago I bought 4 sets for under $100. Basically s SS flat rod with a hook on each end. One goes over rail and the other through the end of the fender. You will end up with the fender parallel to the rail and if you carry 4 fenders you may have some sight line...

Thanks for the input. I think I will hold off until I have a better feel as to why I need a dink. paul

wakeup 19 Who are you using for the install ? and please let us know how it comes out. I am debating carpet vs wood and can't decide which way to go. Thanks

I was in BJ's yesterday and came across a Coleman inflatable for $499. Aluminum floor, rated for 5hp and 16 inch tubes. naturally it's PVC but appears to be well made. This is very close to "if its too good to be true" category. I also heard that Coleman & Sevlor have merged so that could be a...

Just bought a Garmin 300 fish finder on a close out for next to nothing and it came with a transom mount transducer. I thought about mounting it next to the drain plug, thinking the prop pockets would minimize turbulence. Most of our boating is in a fresh water river with no charts available. I...

I also use Tidalwave and have been very happy with the work and price. Dan will come to your boat while its in the water.

coop, check your distributer. I had a similar problem in the fall just before layup only mine would shut down completely. When the yard winterized the mechanic replaced points and problem solved. His explanation was that the heat of the engine changed the setting, that and some rust was enough...

Try sailrite they have a large inventory canvas and zipper solutions www.sail rite.com Paul

Scorpio, Bending the Allure is a pretty simple process. I have a heat gun for removing paint that I used to heat it and then set in place. Holding it for a minute or so lets it cool unough to hold the shape. If you ever try that make sure you wear gloves! I also suspect that the heat from the...

After following the carpet to Allure thread I thought I would try a slightly different application and try it on my dash. My boat is afflicted with the late 80’s Sea Ray burgundy/mauve color scheme and I am attempting to eradicate it whenever possible. I know there are a lot of issues with...

As expected things are not moving in this economy but it sounds like you need a new broker not trying it yourself. Believe me I hate handing over 10% as much as anybody buy at the $110000---$115000 level you need pro.A good one will walk the prospect through the process while eliminating...

WE went through the same excersice before we bought the 340. Major advantage to us was the added space, I think more of an impact below decks than in the cockpit. Fuel consumption was an issue but so much of our water is in no wake zones the difference is minimized. The bigger engines at low RPM...

I went yesterday early afternoon and it was almost empty. The good point was the ability to look at a lot of boats in a short period of time. I agree the Sea Ray tent was pretty weak and the hat color does not speak well of their design talents. I assume everyone got the slick yellow color? But...

I know this post has been around awhile but if you live in Newton and want to minimize expenses look at Newton YC or Watertown YC. Both on Charles so you still have 30 min to open water but cost is under $1500 for year round storage. We originally kept our boat at Danversport then moved to...

Keith, This will give you an idea of how wood will look in the companionway. Stairtred is hinged for more storage. I'll apologize now in case this photo srews things up. Pxhil

Count me in as well. I have an '88 340 EC and have learned a tremendous amount about the boat from this forum, it far and away the best. I did replace my stairs with wood this fall and will look for the photos. Next will be the area in front of the galley and finally the whole carpet. I cannot...
