wife wanted out of the cave plus something with stall shower and private cabin, so after an exhausting search , ended up with this 1994 silverton 34c. was tough to find something decent in this size / price range. i still visit the forum ... great group on here. have a great season all. funny...
so im about to venture into a flybridge boat.... who keeps a tender on the foredeck and launches without a crane of any sort. of course I would be looking at a non-rhib. seems they are light enough to toss over the rail , but how is it getting it back up?

the wife I think wants to get out of the cave... these caught my eye but I cant find much discussion on the forum. any opinions? other than the engine room looking a bit tight , seems like a nice setup. not to crazy about the crapper in the shower , but at least its a separate compartment.

was at a maritime industry event at Chelsea piers and they had a parade of boats. caught some cool shots. 1936 John Harvey in her artsy pain job and the FDNY 343. the manhatten searay dealer with some stock is also in the mix
on my quest to remedy the vertical motion issue with my 330da searchlight , I came across these guys on ebay selling another unit. they quoted $250 to repair the unit and have most parts in stock as they are a jabsco dealer / repair shop. looking at what it would cost to replace the switch unit...
yes there were snow showers, but was nice and warm in the cockpit. did the usual cleaning out and shutting the fridge down. I had to lighten my load by consuming some of the remaining items. she is one of the last in the water on my dock. looks lonely
so I was engaging in one of my hobbies... looking at boats on yachtworld that I fantasize for my "next one", then looking at videos of them on youtube. so im examining a nice 420 aft cabin... then they start showing the "laundry room" and I say WTF was searay thinking with this and who really...
