Golfman25, I’m in the same metro area as you. We paid about $30k four years ago. This included: Remove soaker tub Relocate toilet Larger base cabinet for 2 sinks and a cabinet between the sinks Floor to ceiling linen cabinet 2 person glass walk-in shower Three lights in the ceiling and 2...

I’ll take a shot at it. The mid-90’s 370 Aft Cabin boats came with a fiberglass seating unit on the aft deck or a dock box. I wonder if this was the 80s version.

Take the kid to small claims court. I saw a case one time where the plaintiff actually added diminished value of his damaged car to the body shop charges. He won the diminished value added on.

I would say most people have dripless shafts. I’m in Lake Michigan. I’ve never changed manifolds. The members here who are in saltwater say every 3 years. I change transmission fluid every other year, some say yearly but I don’t put a lot of hours on each year. What’s also important is...

I have a 2000 31DA now. I like the cockpit as it can seat quite a few people. The ER is tight, but changing oil and fuel filters is easy. You have to take off the exhaust hoses to change the impellers. Mine had a cockpit icemaker which is great, but it was not an oem option. A prior owner...

Are you heading to B&E? We were hauled out today.

It’s located under the mid-cabin seat against the bulkhead wall.

I average about $2,500/yr for routine maintenance and repairs, if they come up. This year was more due to a new camper canvas. That was $4,500.

I had a leak on my 370DA and thought it was the port vent cover too. I rebed it and that was not it. It turned out to be the rubber gasket to the water fill hose on my cockpit ice maker. It got old, hard and cracked. Drove me nuts about a year before figuring that one out.

I know your frustration. I bought my 2000 310DA 4 years ago. I have the VG2 system. The flush took the vac system maybe 1 minute to stop. Then it got longer and longer. I replaced the duck bills, put in a new pump and vac switch. Nothing made it better. My SR dealer replaced the duck bills...

I have been business traveling for 35 years. I’ve got a lot of restaurant stories. Here is a top 2. I get into town after 6 hours of travel and it’s 8 PM. I go to a Panera. This location has the ordering kiosk. I order a turkey sandwich, chips, chicken soup and a soda. I get to the hotel...

We used the champagne bottle in a mesh bag that you can buy. That worked out well.

I’ve written this before, but it’s been some time. I renamed my 2nd boat (330da) and did not perform the renaming ceremony. Every year, I had a big $ repair. I mean $1,000s. One was a cracked port shaft tube for no reason. I didn’t hit anything. The shafts are aligned and hand new cutlass...

Look closer at the stern lines. They x-cross over the outboards. I bet they come out of the water more, but the lines would get hung up in the props.

Caravana got in hot water in Illinois last year. Their operations were suspended for a time, if I remember correctly. They were taking forever to get titles out. People could not register their vehicles. Then were fined when the late title came in and they could finally register them.
