It’s sounds like the broker took the pricing risk above your price you needed. So if he priced it high and sold it at that price, or near it, he should have some meat on the bone to fund some of those minor items. You have a non conventional arrangement with the broker so I think he should bear...
I did the hullsides earlier this week on a day I was able to work in a t-shirt. I had to rush it because I only had the one afternoon and we had that rain and wind crap blow through for the rest of the week. No pictures. But it’s only “OK”. I used the light 3m cleaner/wax. I planned on doing a...
So yesterday I was spring buffing the hull and the buffing wheel grabbed one of the clamshell plastic vents on the hull side and ripped it off, breaking the plastic blocks that are glued to the clamshell (and what the plastic trees push into to hold the clamshell on.)
I decided to research a...
Snuggly is an understatement. Your fenders probably barely fit between you and your neighbor. At least there is piling to help coming in and out. But still.....
I'm biased, but the 97 330DA is a great boat with v-Drives. Much less maintenance than I/Os. Handles great. Mine with 454s cruises at 3400rpm and 30/31 mph without effort. I get right around 1 mpg (US gallon) at cruise. Things to watch for are soft decks at the bow around the hatches and...
Moderators, please delete this thread immediately. I have told my wife that snakes will never go on a boat. If she sees that picture or hears that they can get on the boat, I'll never be able to get her back on board. Its bad enough that the eastern water snakes are in pretty much every cove...
Hopefully you got a break on the commission. A buddy of mine sold last year. The broker had a buyer lined up before he signed the broker contract. Sold in one day. He negotiated a lower commission after the fact.
If yours is like mine, there is an insert/cap that goes on top of the motor shaft and then that fits into the arm pocket. There is a set screw that holds it on. On mine the shaft spines had worn so much that it pivoted on the shaft and the set screw didn’t hold it on. I temporarily removed the...
This would be a higher risk / reward investment. I’m not looking for a blue chip value play. I have enough of that already. I do think it will run up for a while and then it will cap out and then crash to what its business fundamentals will support. Which is well below where it is now.
Don’t make this political. It’s not. Anyone else thinking about shorting DJT? It’s way overvalued and it seems like the major push is from retail investors buying on emotion since the valuation would require insane growth such that the majority of the world (not just the US) would move to their...
I disconnect the positive side on all batteries through the winter. You can open/close the hatch by backfeeding power through the 12v cigarette lighter using a jumper cable.
Sea Ray provided a 12v plug and wires with new boats to allow you to push power back through your 12v systems using the...
It’s better than the endless drug ads that are 95% of the ads on US television. I just got back from 6 weeks in Florida and it’s night and day how many more drug ads there are in the US. Just ask your doctor - you might need all this shit. You know how you can tell that drug prices in the US...
This thread is like Lazarus rising from the dead. But since the topic is Sanibel, we visited last month while staying in Cape Coral. The devastation of Sanibel is crazy. They were trucking sand to rebuild some of the beaches and dunes. Traffic is really bad getting on and off. And not much to...
