Over my lifetime, I have had 3-goldens, 2-Labs, and 1 Chesapeak Bay....All retrievers, but so different. You can very easily "break" a golden if you are not careful. Disciplining them needs to be done as gently as possible. Labs seem to take it all pretty much in stride. You can break a 2x4...

44DB had an anchor stop and added one to our 420DA just to remove the pressure from the windless. Certainly not something you want to put a lot of pressure on, but we boat on an inland lake. Worse thing we have is an occasional wake while on the hook. Bennett

Congrats! Beautiful boat!! You will love the QSCs... Bennett

Our 2003 420DA had 12v fluorescents and I swapped them over to LED. Piece of cake. Did not need all of the previous wires that the fluorescents used, but everything was right there and very simple.... Bennett

Loved the Govee products. Worked flawlessly for piece of mind in the winter. Bennett

Exactly...I have powered loaded boats for 45 years and never once had an issue. From 15' bass boats to a 2006 SR 260DA. Figure out where to position the trailer and push the bow eye under the roller....now if it is not allowed where you boat, different story. Bennett

Can you tell it by how the boat performs or just looking at the tachs? If you cannot tell the boat's performance is off, could be a bad tach... Bennett

We added 5' x 25' of concrete to our existing back patio. Then wanted an "A" framed roof 20'x28' built over it. Wanted rough cut large timber framing and "V" groove boards in the ceiling. 2- ceiling fans, cut it into our existing roof, extra outlets, etc. Had a "friend" in the construction...

Used this brush and product many times and works great! Bennett

We had a 2003 420DA and they only made slant back cockpit cover for it. Had a local guy come out and make a full camper enclosure. That will be your best bet... Bennett

Rustoleum Canvas White from HD was almost perfect. Painted 6CTAs in the 420DA as well as the QSCs in the 44DB. Was very pleased. Bennett

I remember seeing that as well. Mine never ran on 110v either. Bennett

My OEM fridge was same. Pulled it out and it was not wired for 110v...only for 12v. There was a "black box" behind it...some kind of converter to 110v, but I could not get it to work. Ran it off of 12v the entire 3 years I had the boat with never an issue. Freezer was arranged the same way...

Selling the thing can be very stressful depending on the surveyor and the buyer.... Bennett

+1 with Carter's replies above. I too ran AL in freshwater with excellent results. I always left the DC breaker for the refrigerator on along with the AC. If you lose AC power, they swap over to DC and everything stays cold. Away from the boat in the summer, I always left the HVAC set to...

Just a thought...behind the electrical panel in the 420 DA we had, were fuses for the CO detectors and the gain controller for the Glomex. They were very low amps like 3 amp fuses I believe. Bennett

Had been with BOATUS on our 2006 260DA and our 2007 44DB. Insurance was with Safe Waters. They initially insured our 2003 420DA, but after one year with it, Safe Waters got out of the insurance business, at least on boats. The best thing BOATUS could come up with was $2400/year on a...

The OEM microwave on our 44DB was a combo convection oven. There was a vent fan mounted to push air over it and out a clam-shell vent on the exterior of the boat. I never realized how hot the cavity above the oven got until one day I was on the dock beside that vent and felt the air coming...

Fall of 2020…
