Cool

 

and winter storage. Just think of the money saved if you could fold up the swim platform.

That is just to fugly...

Unbelievable...

 

I can honestly say that I have never seen that before!

Question... what's the ROI on slip fees saved vs fiberglass work done?

 

Would allow for a shorter younger on a trailer depending in the tow vehicle

More likely to fit in a building

 

Well if ya slip at a Safe Harbor marina they'll just charge you by the length of the slip, not the boat

 

Um, wow. Ok then. I....don't know what else to say.

 

Was that in a marina or a trailer park?

 

I pay the same for my 60' slip as I did when I had my 330 Sundancer in it. Doesn't matter the length of the boat--you're paying for the slip.

I'd hate to have to trust that hinge joint in a storm when the boat is yanking on the chain.

 

Okay, I have officially seen it all now. Thank you and good night.

 

I know of a party that did something similar to a swim platform in order to remain within the limits of their slip with a new boat. That particular marina has a long waiting list for a slip, so the choice was to keep a smaller boat, modify the new, larger boat and remain in the marina, or go elsewhere.

 

Seems to be catching on

 

My dock neighbor cut the tip of his sail boat off to stay under the length limit. He had a stainless steel snub nose cap made.
Looks like shit!!

 

Saw that on Instagram and thought it was a joke.

 

gotta be a bayliner.

 

Need a picture of the side where the household air-conditioner is sticking out

 

Actually saw a 42 Morgan tha had a household ac , the outer casing removed from it and installed in hos bilge he had customized ducting out over 4 inch PVC which was well placed and upon entering the boat you could not see evidence of the install, we sometimes laugh at the unconventional however it is those with unconventional thinking who are the innovators whose ideas we enjoy daily

 

Check out this innovator... I think that's an Ontario plate

Now now let's be kind here lol , it does look like an ontario plate though

 

******* mods.

 

Well all threads in winter lead to portable generators. Might as well start now.

 

Will be plugging in a little heater inside this weekend for a last night on the boat this friday with the boys,Then get all the bedding and foodstuffs out , solar panel array down and get her winterized and tarped in on sat and Sunday. Happy to have her backed up to the shop this year it will be alot easier in the spring when I plan on a few projects before launch. New horns a full polish and wax and rebedding deck fasteners.

 

You are a hardy one! Temperatures near freezing, snow flurries in the forecast, and seems like we have had a permanent Strong Wind or Gale warning in place for Georgian Bay since October 1st. Way past my enjoyment level.

I get my boat shrinkwrapped now. But in the past I have done the tarp and frame DIY, slipping around on the deck in early November on snow and ice trying to get the tarp frame up and tarp strung over in the cold and rain and wind. Not any more. You start to run out of friends to help after a few years.

Have fun and be safe!

 

When our 1993 370 Express was new it was rebadged from a 350 to a 370 by SR doing ther marketing thingy. It was 40'+ loa as built. I took the 350 decal off the stern when we bought it. For slip rentals and storage purposes it was a 35 footer. When it was for sale, it was 40' overall. (;-)
