Birth=when a baby is born.
Berth=Place to sleep aboard a boat.
It's a pet peeve, but dang there are to many people that don't seem to know the difference. Lol
So, Sea Ray sent me a Loyalty Bonus, in the form of a discount to buy a new boat!
If I buy a 260 or 280 I can get up to $10,500.00
If I buy a 310 or 330 I can get up to $17,000.00
If I buy a 350 or 370 I can get up to $22,500.00
Personally I appreciate the gesture, and think it's a...
I was wondering why the heck so many ads were popping up all over the place. I let my support donation expire! Whew, it's worth the donation to get rid of the ads!!!!! Man.....
I'll go renew right now! Lol
I have a situation for what I know what I want to do, but not sure I should cut my nose off to spite my face!
So, I have an umbrella policy with my primary insurance company, State Farms. They don't or won't insure my boat....
I have a Declared Yacht policy on my Sea Ray with Boat US. (State...
So, next weekend we (Carolina Boaters) are planning a meet up. Starting Friday 13th, at Charleston Harbor Marina. We'll probably hit Shem Creek for a seafood dinner. Lounge around the docks friday night. Saturday cruise south toward Beaufort down the ICW to an anchorage spot. Meet up with some...
So, how busy is everyones marinas this year? It seems like my marina (Midway) is dead this year. No dock parties, nobody grilling, nobody hanging out on the boats. Last year, it seems the docks were packed.
The fourth of July this year was dead! Even The Boathouse restaurant wasn't busy.
Even...
Does anyone really use their V-Berth area as a sitting area, or actually eat at the table? I'm just wondering why most every small cabin boat has one. In my little 240, it's completely uncomfortable to use it like that. Seems to me, a proper bed is a more useable feature. I just don't understand...
"We" have run off most of the big personalities here on CSR, (against my wishes) and now it's BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe this is what the perfect community will be like, when everyone has been beat down with political correctness!!! I know I'm scared to post up...
I wasn't sure where to post these. But I wanted to show off my project boat, 78 Chris Craft 251. I'm having a ball working on this thing. It is fun to drive....but it is LOUD as hell! I have mufflers on it, but not enough. lol
Here she is without my ugly mug in the way.
Underway...
Is it shorter to run south of Great Sale Cay or North of GSC to get to Spanish Cay from West End?
My boat has 70-75 gals of gas, and gets around 2 miles per, if I can run on plane. My family trip this year we decided to run to Marsh and are wanting to run hard the first day to Spanish. I'm...
Where can I find molded 1" rubber collant hoses for a closed loop cooling system. (Horizon) I searched all local parts places (marine and automotive) and everyone looks at me like I have two heads. I've even looked for uni coils and no luck there either. So what is everyone doing to replace the...
The water pressure reading (cooling water) on my smartcraft gage is reading off. It shows 14psi when the engine is not running, and around 17psi when the engine is idling.
I have good water flow and the engine runs right at 170 degrees steady, so I'm sure there is proper water flow.
How do I...
Holy cow! I haven't stayed at LKN for the 4th in years.
I usually go to the Abacos over the 4th, but this year we said no to the unpredictable weather, and thank goodness we did. Hurricane Aurther would have made it bad.
So LKN, what a madhouse! I don't think I'll stay here again. To many...
I look at boats on the different web sites. I just like to look, maybe trend prices abit. But I don't understand the "call for price" crap. Is it supposed to weed out people that aren't serious about buying? Even if they posted the highest price possible they can still neg. from there. I like to...
Bought gas on the Lake yesterday at the Blue Parrot, $4.90 a gallon. Ethanol free, 91 octane.
Seems expensive, but heck at least they had gas.
Beautiful day, I was out burning the off season gas down to exchange for fresh. It seems like there would have been more boats out yesterday but...
I decided to use my boat today. It was nice, the sun was out, the temperature wasn't so cold. Had a nice slow cruise.
Went to the Boathouse restraunt and ate lunch. Then took a ride to the dam next to McGuire. I saw 124ft depth, near the dam. LKN was peaceful today, just few fisherman and an...
