    Pet Boarding Ramp

    Anyone have a pet (dog) boarding ramp they would recommend? I'm not on a floating dock and the tide varies 3-5'. It would be nice to find something lightweight that either collapses (or folds) and is easy to stow away. I've seen a few things online but they're typically 4-5' long. This is to...

    Radio Call Sign

    Okay, another rookie question but want to know what people are doing, if anything, about "radio call signs." Do most just use their boat name? Do you actually need a radio call sign as a separate identifying item, and if so - how do you apply? This is just one of the many "blanks" on...

    Opinions on electronics

    Have wittled down the selection to begin revamping electronics on the 460 EC in the next week to 10 days. I was fairly set on the Raymarine E system, but have now been experimenting with the Northstar 8000i touchscreen. Anyone who can offer any insight to either - usability, features...

    New Owner - 460 Express Cruiser

    Hello All, Just purchased, actually almost "stole" in this market a 1986 460 Express Cruiser. I've know the prior owner a while and they were maintenance freaks - new CATS about 300 hours ago, redone galley, appliances, etc. Didn't need this and don't know much about boats other than they...
