    Not the whole moving from a Cruiser to a Sedan discussion again

    I know some of you have been on both, but I think some folks with DA's assume that the ride is bouncy on a bridge. I had a gas 380. That thing bounced over waves. With a diesel 450EB, it powers through waves. You don't even feel them, bridge or otherwise. The cabin of a DA is a...

    So how busy can a boat broker really be?

    That was probably from me, but I am not a broker. Brokers should not get tainted on my account.

    So how busy can a boat broker really be?

    You know, I wish you well in your search, honestly. Truth be told, I need to sell because I am addicted to Guitar Hero, Aerosmith edition. Now you know. I hope that somehow factors into your buying decision. I do have a broker on my boat, but that doesn't mean it's painless for me all...

    So how busy can a boat broker really be?

    I'll give you a little seller perspective. First, every buyer out there right now thinks that, regardless of your asking price, they are going to buy your boat for 50k less than the asking price. After awhile, you get jaded with the "can I get a few more pictures of this and that"...

    calling all Divers

    aslo, look online at the captain's report in the sports section of the st pete times (sptimes.com). a couple of those guys are divers, and they regularly report on water clarity at various depths.

    calling all Divers

    sorry, my bad on the pride. i went fishing there once, but haven't dove there. i haven't been back down, becuse the coast guard chased me 40 miles out to sea to vector around freighters waiting to come in. took me twice as long as it should have to get down there.

    calling all Divers

    Check this out: http://www.pinellascounty.org/utilities/reef/default.htm Some of these artifical reef sites are quite popular, and are shallow. Most of them have natural bottom nearby, and a few of them are natural bottom anyways. Might be a good place to start. I always about people...

    June 13th-16th Tween waters getaway - whos going

    MM won't issue GPS coord's any longer. They say they got sued by someone when a wrong number was punched in the list, or something like that. Someone doesn't check their charts, plugs in blind numbers, hits autopilot, gets lost, and sues, then MM can't give out numbers anymore. Anyways, I'm...

    Boat Lease-Purchase

    I have sent a letter requesting that the Bank consider letting the buyers assume the mortgage, but I haven't back yet. This is a back-up plan, that may or may not have legs. Thanks for the input.

    Boat Lease-Purchase

    Has anyone thought of, or heard of, a lease-purchase arrangement for a boat? I have a couple that wants to assume the mortgage on my boat, or work a lease-purchase type arrrangement, where they would have so long to secure financing. I am having my attorney look into it. I am aware of...

    St. Pete - Salt Creek Area Questions

    There is docking at the Pier. You can pull up and tie up. The high end marinas, I believe, are a little north of the Salt Creek area. As with any city, 4-6 blocks can be the difference between the right and wrong side of the tracks. The water is where the water is. Right along the...

    St. Pete - Salt Creek Area Questions

    Tphinney - Spoken like a Tampan! As a Pinellas resident, I would say there is lots to do in downtown St Pete, and downtown Tampa is lame. Be that as it may, the action in downtown St Pete is about 8 blocks north of the Salt Creek area. If you go by dinghy from there to downtown, you're...

    St. Pete - Salt Creek Area Questions

    I don't know it, but a co-worker is a St Pete cracker. He says don't go inland (day or night), and after dark, keep your Glock loaded, stay on your boat, and stay alert. In essence, this is the rough part of St Pete, and you don't want to be there if you don't have to. Again, this is from...

    Norcold fridge model DE561

    I did what crusin did on my 380. Practically speaking, they couldn't get a new fridge through the cabin door anyways - hence the "availability" of total repalcement of everything except the box. And, it was not cheap. I figured I would buy one at a marine store and replace it. But, like...

    Water Counter

    Thanks. I've never run out of water on the boat. I guess whenever we are in position to do water-intesive things, like shower, we are at a marina, where there is plenty of it available.
