    Need Boat Lift Intel

    @Maybe A Dancer and @ttmott this is excellent info. Much appreciated. Dancer, never thought about the pilings needing to be wrapped. Will definitely want to do that. All other recommendations will be strongly considered as well. Regarding budget, I was 'hoping' to be at $20k but that's...

    Survey - what are the rules ?

    I like @ttmott's concise description above and it could help form your counter-argument. That said, it's all about who blinks first. When I sold my boat it was a hot market. I made it clear prior to the survey that the only thing I'd consider covering were any unknown major item that the...

    Need Boat Lift Intel

    We're closing on a new place in Clearwater Beach on the 30th. It has a slip but no lift. I'm trying to get educated about lifts as quickly as possible as I want to pull the trigger on one ASAP as I've been told there's an easy 3 month waiting list. I want at minimum a 10K pound unit to support...

    Cool Shit

    I have peed in those MANY times at Sam's in Hudson! One of our favorite boating destinations just north of Port Richie.

    Exciting week. Best of luck! Have you posted pics of new boat, and I missed them, or are you waiting for the deal to be done?

    So let's hear about and see your cars.

    @Skybolt, Always loved the TR6. My favorite Triumph. Yours looks beautiful. I can't believe someone would key a classic like that. @BillK2632, that X3 is very small. The X5 and Cayenne would be closer competitors. Cayenne maintenance isn't for the faint of heart. The RDX is nice, and it's a...

    BTW, congrats on the 48DA. One of my all-time favorite Sea Rays.

    Buying and selling private

    If you can find a private buyer for your boat in a hurry you may be able to bring the deal to a broker and have him do an in-and-out transaction for a flat fee, far below the typical 10%. This will give you the sales tax advantage you're looking for. I've done this once with a boat and several...

    Hi pressure fuel pump leak

    Those 6.2's are crammed into a pretty tight space and I would imagine accessing some of the pumps and transducers would be very difficult. $3K for everything described seems very reasonable to me.

    Extended swim platform

    How high off the water will it be? Will it 'drag' when coming up on plane? I'd definitely make sure there is good venting on the surface.

    Where would you sell your boat?

    Well, join the club. When we got our place in SWFL we dragged a 24' Four Winns IO down there. Didn't take long to learn it wasn't the right boat for the area. Dragged it back to Texas and sold it locally through craigslist/FB/boattrader. There are lot a ways to vet scammers. I'm happy to share...

    Lake Saint Clair Peeps

    So far I haven't heard anything bad about the 2-speed transmission, dual prop and only lower-unit steering on those things. If the technology turns out to be reliable then I hope to see it move down into small displacement motors as well. Especially the 2-speed transmission. That could really...
