Unless you plan on keeping you boat on the lift, keep your bottom paint as bare is not really an option in salt water :grin:

$5k to get plasteak installed on our swim platform and cockpit. The boat is a 43' Tiara and we're in south Florida.

We moved our 43' Tiara with pods and hardtop from NJ to Miami at the end of 2012. We removed all items from the hardtop (radar, sat, vhf ect) as well as the props from the pod drives. Everything else remained intact including the hardtop and the pod drives. You have to find someone experienced...

We purchased a similar system by another manufacturer to handle our walker bay (400lb). Three guys barely got the tender loaded and we ended up returning it to the manufacturer, 200lb maybe 400 forget it.

We replaced 2 of our Cruise Air pumps with March pumps about a year and a half ago when they were partially submerged. The March pump were much cheaper at the time and we have had no issues with them since. We purchased them from Amazon at the time.

Can you tell me more about this location? I wasnt aware that you can get a wet slip with power in Red Hook. We used to keep our boat in Marine Basin Marina near the Verrazano bridge.

Brooklyn, NY was my home port for 4 years. What marina are you keeping the boat at?

I've had no use for this adapter in south Florida, as all the locations I travel to offer 50 Amp service.

Power: (1) 50 Amp 125 / 250 Volt AC to (2) 30 Amp 125 Volt AC Item #: 201879 Brand: Marinco Model #: RY504-2-30 Used for short season up north. Currently in a slip with 50 Amp receptacle and no longer need this. Please message all reasonable offers, unit sells for about $350 online.

Good luck getting parts for a Beneteau powerboat if something breaks. You will be emailing the factory in France and you better hope they are not on holiday (vacation).

For the best fuel prices your best bet is Atlantic highlands NJ. Great kills harbor has fuel and well and Marine Basin Marine in Brooklyn NY also has diesel and both should be on your way.

I would say it was the lack of support in the USA and the limited dealer network when this boat was released (2006?). I'm pretty sure Jeanneau/Prestige is a lot more established these days.

Jeanneau Prestige 34 They couldn't give them away a few years back. https://www.google.com/search?q=jeanneau+prestige+34&safe=off&client=firefox-a&hs=Pxa&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=A8unUqmsH5LmkAe4j4BQ&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=2560&bih=1238#imgdii=_

Pretty sure you can change the pod drive oil in the water with the new version of the IPS.

Only the white light is dimable on this version red and blue are not. I have these on my boat.

The 2006 version of IPS is prone to a few known issues. Volvo has updated the material used on the seals and the old drives are prone to water intrusion, make sure the drives have been updated. The 43 Sovran is a great boat, however its not as seaworthy as the open series due to the wide beam...

Land transport height max is 13"1, its common practice to remove the items from the hardtop and reattach them on arrival. The yard we used removed all the hardtop items and the props prior to shipping we had everything reinstalled in Florida. If we had to do it all over again I would probably...

We shipped our boat out of New Jersey as it was significantly cheaper then shipping from New York. We used Lockwood Boat Works in South Amboy NJ to haul, prep and shrink wrap. The boat was transported to Ft Laughterdale by Brink Truck Lines and we had a great exprerince with this carrier, the...

Grant, Haulover is a lot of fun during the day, I wouldn't spend the night there. There is university cove west of the sandbar (FIU Campus), its a good place to anchor overnight and many people do. You can also anchor in Maule lake a bit north of Haulover good holding here, lots of room and...

Re: Does original Fireboy CO detector have a relay to the generator in the 340 Sundan Those things have a lifepsan of about 5 years, they start to alarm when its time to replace. We had all 3 go at about the same time on our boat.
