Have you considered a pressure transducer? You can attach it to a fitting on the bottom of the tank and they are incredibly accurate. Maretron sells them but this is something you can also diy.

Welcome. We keep our boat in North Beach (Herrington South)

I recently installed a gen3. I built a small platform out of starboard, mounted a Trio Flatmount to it. So far it's been working great without any obstructions or issue.

We previously lived in the Syracuse area and kept a boat up at Clayton. The thousand islands area is awesome for boating.

Clayton and the thousand islands are an awesome area to do some cruising in both on the Canadian side and the US side. If your boat draws less than 5’ I recommend the Rideau canal that starts at Kingston, ON.

Regarding “why is it needed”? The boat we purchased never hit the open market, neither did 3 others we looked at. Relationships and experience matter. Having tried and true contract paperwork, accounts setup for escrow, etc. help. If you’re looking at a boat with seller representation why not...

We just purchased a trawler with the assistance of JMYS. Jeff is a well known name in the community and Mark (who is local to Fl) was fantastic to work with.

+1. Just used Cindy for a purchase. Great rates and she was fantastic to work with.

Do you have a short list of touchscreen brands

When you get to the thousand islands I highly recommend a stop in Clayton. Great small village. We used to keep our boat there.

“ Gear Wrench has some nice sockets and I do use them on projects that I might damage my better tools.” Thanks. This is the direction I’m leaning as it seems to be a good balance between quality and cost.

Thanks for this. This list mirrored my expectations and added a few things I did t think of!

Goal 1: buy a boat (we are under contract so that’s at least headed in the right direction) Goal 2: cruise the Chesapeake this year and get to know some local cruisers

Thanks for this. That’s a really good idea.

Ah thanks for this! I’ll be sure to get some square bits.
