    Another spot you may consider is behind the hinged backrest. Easy run from vanity and much easier to wire.

    Simple Question about your slip

    Other lake north of Atlanta and I pay $3700 for a 30’ slip. All are based on slip size not boat size. $3 a month meter fee + usage at normal rates for power. Free water. Lifts are an extra $200/mo but you can purchase one and install it like I did.

    Sea Ray 270 SD purchased

    Congrats. FYI you have a 270DA. An SD is a Sundeck like my pic. Should help with confusion when you have a question.

    Great way to start July!!

    I don’t throw in any tools, but I do just toss in my regulator and grate off the Magma grill at the beginning of the season to get it over with. I’ll then eat a raw hamburger for good measure.

    Great way to start July!!

    Bummer. I almost had to start my July that way. I dropped my drivers license at the Atlanta airport last week. Showed up at the rental car counter in Salt Lake and found out. Had to Uber around for a day, but amazingly it was found, turned in, and fed ex had it to me the next morning...

    Going for swim ..... anyone?

    I have always seen sharks. Had a bull in the canal behind the house in Largo two weeks ago and the bastard kept grabbing the mid sized amberjacks the nine year old was fishing for. Still went swimming-just not in the canal-because that’s nasty.

    ways to 'keep your cool'.....

    I too have problems with the heat. We generally limit our time to mornings or evenings. I agree, once water temps hit the 90s your just getting wet, not relief. I suppose this is payback for not having to winterize and being able to boat almost year round.

    Going for swim ..... anyone?

    Heart pound as in-how fast can I get back in the boat and get a line out?!:)

    Going for swim ..... anyone?

    Jeez some people are awful cautious. Just got back from 15 days in the keys and water is what you do. You swim in it, snorkel in it, and dive in it. Then you throw chum off the back of the boat and try to catch things that might eat you on purpose. Go for your swim.

    Here are some pics of the sub. Pretty easy-drill hole, drop it in. Pardon the filth. Spring cleaning is first on the list. Second pic also shows where I mounted the inverter/charger.

    I rarely use the bow filler. I think the 4th of July is about the only time it’s used. Constant kid traffic running back and forth jumping off the sides and stern trying to outwit each other would lead to that thing being destroyed.

    False wall under the sink. I think it’s 4 screws and everything is right there. I go in there every spring to clean the strainer. Take a towel.

    Goat on a boat with a Honda

    I wouldn’t dare throw her in the water. She was in the 72 Olympics and can out swim my 496. She is a goat though.

    Goat on a boat with a Honda

    I think I’ll take my mother-in-law on a boat ride today during this rare snow shower in Atlanta. Tempers sure are short here this winter.:D

    Brunswick selling off Sea Ray brand

    Don’t qualify in the smarts or millennial departments but I have often wondered this myself. It’s not just Sea Ray but the entire boat building industry. There would be a tax advantage by writing off unsold inventory at the risk of higher losses and the company being sold-whoops. Maybe you...

    What the heck is going on with our country?

    Boy I try to refrain from these conversations, but... The BJ in my mind is significant because the person hired to have the highest office in this country stood up and lied in the court he is supposed to uphold. Any one of us would have sat under a jail for awhile after pulling something like...
