That has always bothered me a bit as well. Especially when it's a flanged joint with a rub rail protecting it, as it doesn't take a...

I'd expect it also depends a lot on how common the boats you're looking for are or how specific a boat you're looking for. There are...

Has the boat been winterized at any point recently? It looks a bit on the dark side, but the color is close to the blue -100* propylene...

I'd lean towards 2 displays. 2x 12" is likely to be more total usable space than 1x 16". And if you want to display both charts and...

I think some of the issues with the 8.2s had been resolved by 1988, so yours should be some of the better ones. Not a bad idea to have...

Another thought is that higher end brands probably pick their equipment a bit more carefully. And I'd bet boats where the owners get to...

I think it's a combination of worrying less about energy efficiency on powerboats, but also boats with generators in general. And...

Welcome aboard! It's good to see some more people on here from the local area (we're on the south side of Lake Ontario in Rochester).

I'm no stickler for tradition with things like chain markings. I prefer usable to traditional. Mine is marked with orange and green...

I've got a Maxwell HRC10-8 on my boat (slightly smaller than the boat in question here). It's plenty powerful for any reasonable size...

I'd expect you want them somewhere close to the center of rotation in pitch to avoid exactly that situation you described. 2/3 aft is...

Always a good point. If I'm alone on the boat, I make sure to keep my phone within reach as I crawl in and out of anywhere tight. And...
