    Trucker needed Washington state to East Coast

    I will need a trucker to haul a 40ft trawler and flybridge, (LOA 40' 6", Beam13' 3", 21,000 dry) from Washington state to the east coast sometime in February. The flybridge will be crated so that it will ride on the 5th wheel. The load is overwide but not over height. Thanks everyone.

    Icom 605 vs Icom M410BB VHF

    I am outfitting a new build trawler. I specified an Icom M605 in the pilothouse and a Icom M424g on the flybridge. The builder wants to install an Icom M410BB (black box radio) and use a HM-195 command mic in the pilothouse and on the flybridge. I wanted the noise canceling feature on both...

    Are people buying new Sea Rays?

    I am shocked at the price of the new Searays. I am currently building an American Tug which in my opinion is a much sturdier and higher quality boat albeit for a different use. On a dollar per dollar cost I don’t see what Searay is offering for the price point. The American Tug comes with a...

    VHF antenna

    I did not want to complicate the issue. I just wanted to get the inefficient antenna off the handheld and above the boat’s fiberglass. I did not want to open the Pandora’s box of best antenna but the above information is correct.

    VHF antenna

    This is a VHF range calculator. As you can see VHF is height dependent. The best way to extend VHF-range with a handheld is an external antenna attached to the handheld with a BNC adapter thru a length of coax. I used this method for a number of years on our SeRay 175...

    Advice for buying a 2013+ 510 DA?

    Just because you have looked at a 1000 boats does not mean you have found the right boat. Frank was right many years ago when he said you will know when you have found the right boat. We looked at bunches and surveyed several of boats until our Back Cove spoke to us. I can’t explain it but we...

    Thank you everyone for your suggestions. We have declined the boat. The good news is that after waiting 18 months for a new build production slot we will begin the trawler January 1, 2023.

    Headhunter XCaliber XRS124

    Does anybody have an opinion on the Headhunter XCaliber XRS124 water pump? I am having a cruising boat built that uses Jabsco pumps. I have the option to install a Headhunter pump. I am looking for dependability and water flow in that order. On the last boat I replaced a Jabsco about every 18...

    Maretron pressure transducer install

    Ttmott, the boat will be run on NEMA2000 etc with the exception of the waste tank. The manufacture does not want my Maretron system commingled with the companies systems which is fine with me as I have big plans for Maretron. I am going to be using the FPM 100 for this job. I got the idea from...

    Maretron pressure transducer install

    I am having a semi custom boat built. The builder has been great until I asked to change the waste monitoring system to the Maretron FPM 100 with the correct pressure transducer. The builder uses the WEMA system which I believe uses a standard 5 hole SAE fitting same as the Maretron pressure...
