    Getting more serious about re powering my 260..

    Cliff is correct. I have a "special" set of props for when I load heavy for a trip to the Bahamas. With those props on and a light load, I run out of RPM before I run out of throttle. I am just very careful to not over rev the engine, by watching the tach closely.

    Southport Marina to Baldhead Island

    You could do it in the dingy, probably be wet when you got to the island. Take the ferry. As was said, you'll need to rent a golf cart to see the island.

    What is the longest run you have done in one day on your searay?

    Stuart, Fla. to West End, Grand Bahamas, 4+ hours in the Gulf Stream. Stop for gas, and clear customs. 1hr West End Grand, to Grand Cay (Double Breasted) 3 hours. 8 hour day standing sitting at the helm of a 240da = worn out.

    LKN levels to remain low through June

    We (McGuire) are still in a refueling outage. We have about three more weeks of scheduled outage, before we crank back up and get on the grid. After that, Duke should bring the levels back to normal....depending upon the inflows. If you see Duke releasing water from the dam, we have to under...

    Boat Reg in SC

    Bill, I don't know if you know this, but you can apply for an exemption to lower your millage rate. I don't remember off hand, but I had it for my boat.
