    Marina was sold we had to leave.

    I sored at a place in Illinois with radiant heat in the floor. The owner said once the slab is warm it is a license to steal.

    Newbie - pods are scary?

    I have been a boater for 53 years and swore I would never touch a pod boat but as you have found it is hard to find a shaft boat these days. I now own a Formula with IPS! When researching this issue I visited a company that services Zeus and IPS. They said in their opinion the IPS was a better...

    I have had several friends have broken prop shafts, it was more prevalent in the early 2000's as stated earlier. One shaft break was on a 2006 40 Sundancer Diesel about 7 years ago. The owner was told Searay used lower gage shafts on some diesel boats. His was a 19 and he now has 2 new 22's if I...

    Vacuflush

    When you changed the bowl seal did you change the o rings on the shaft? If not try them before you buy a vac switch. They are missed a lot when looking for a leak.

    About to be proud owner of….

    This issue was explained a few years back as Searay changed to a different finish that did not do well in the sun. I had a small piece of trim off of my 44 and it is wood. There was no way to repair the fog with sanding or polishing, the finish would need to be removed which would be a tough job...

    Riviera 46 Sports Motor Yacht....thoughts?

    I recently bought an IPS powered boat after being against pods for years. I am still amazed at the increased handling, better performance and better fuel economy along with the quiet, smooth and odor free operation of the pods. Yes the parts are more expensive! The newer pods are trouble free if...

    2007 Sea Ray 44 Sedan Bridge

    It has been several years since I owned this boat and my memory is a little foggy! I think I was able to slide the door a few inches and lift the door clear. Try lowering the roller height first. Is there a notch in the track that will allow the stop to clear if lined up correctly? Sorry I...

    The plywood is gelcoat too. The last time I ordered from Spectrum they sent me to IBOAT to buy retail and could buy a quart. You can try Mini- Craft too and see if they have the color. I have been using them more lately as they are easier to buy from in quarts.

    420AC Boat POX and Delam

    You have another option: look for another boat. A friend just spent 20K to have the hull peeled and blister repair on a 42 Regal.

    I just added an Axiom to my system. I had 2 E120 MFDs and removed one for the Axiom. I kept 1 E120 because the radar was not digital which is needed for the new Raymarine MFDs. The autopilot will track with the new Axiom but you can not control it from the new screen. I just set the autopilot...

    The bilges were done in gelcoat from the factory which is available to match from Spectrum. No mater what you use the prep work is important. The original gelcoat, or bare fiberglass, if the gelcoat is gone, must be sanded. It is no different than if you were going to paint or gelcoat the...

    I removed my screen door several times by pulling the glass doors first. Easy job if you remove the stop for the stationary door and move the door to the center of the track.

    NBOA is just an agent, they have nothing to do with your premiums. When I used them they shopped for the best price. You northern boaters make me feel better about my policy in Fort Myers FL. After Ian I was concerned about being cancelled even though I have not had a claim in 50 years including...
