    Marine Quality Teak Tables - Worldwide Delivery

    I purchased three table tops from Marine Teak - one of which was custom made. The tables are glorious, the price was reasonable and they were an absolute pleasure to deal with. One of my best service experiences ever! Paul

    Infinity- woven vinyl.

    Hey Frank, Midland Flooring on hwy 93 at Hwy 12. They did the measuring, cutting and installation. Love the stuff - you've seen it. As for other questions - dogs? I have three Australian Shepherds and an American Cocker Spaniel. A big part of the reason I wanted this stuff is to have a...

    Who really HAS to use there bow thruster?

    Having moved through 27', 32', 37', 44', 56' - I think they only become relevant at 40 to 45'. My boat came with the bow thruster (I can't imagine a 560DB coming without) and I added a bow thruster. I feel very comfortable in maneuvering my boat without the thrusters, however I use mine a...

    Blizzard!

    We normally get a ton of snow here. Last year, after getting fed up with my third snow clearing contractor, I bought this bad boy to clear the snow myself. The only snow we've gotten since was the two inches of slush that fell over Christmas when I took this pic...

    Survey says" Moisture in hull " anybody have experience with the costs?

    Moisture meters can give erroneous readings, as has been pointed out in this thread. I too had a high moisture concern spot pointed out at the time of my survey. After consulting with the marine surveyor and the service department at the marina, it seemed that I was looking at a potential $5k...

    560 DB Owners Club

    Hi Greg, the stuff wasn't cheap. The NuTeak was added in two phases and now covers the swim platform, cockpit, steps into the boat and stairs up to the bridge. I believe the total was around Cdn$12k. I would have to think that pricing structure may have come down since with more competitors...

    Sun Pads

    I had reached out to that advertiser, more than once and never got a response. I guess there wasn't a demand for his offering. I was looking for the same feature and ended up going for a custom solution. Not overly complex, just a set up using Starbord - much like the set-up on my previous...

    L590

    Really? I respect MAN, which I think traces its history back to Rudolf Diesel. Having said that, Cat quality is top notch, bar none. It's a premium product that attracts a premium price. Beyond the quality of the product, is the significant product support network that comes as a consequence...

    L590

    Google does not make an expert! Before being so quick to correct, one should make sure they have the facts. The projects I referenced are projects we completed. The PRT is now powered by Cat CM43s, which were formerly MaK, prior to Cat's acquisition in 2006. The work was completed for...

    Georgian Bay advice

    If you're just cruising and have no need to return home mid trip, you have no need of a car in the North Channel and surrounding area. The towns are all geared to boaters and the critical amenities - groceries and booze - are all within walking distance of the docks. In many circumstances...
