Just got our renewal’s for our condo , the 2 cars and the boat. Almost everything doubled but the boat. My Escalade is now 12 years old and my insurance through State Farm as a lifetime insured went to $150 a month for two 60 year old drivers with spotless driving records. Something to think...

Our 3 story buildings have recent roofs and a recent parking lot repave still our hoa has doubled to $875 month the last 2 years due to inflation and insurance costs.

Any condo building over 2 stories needs a engineering inspection every 4 years ever since the Surfside condo collapse.

We Own one of the cheaper condos in Naples, a updated 1100 sqft 2/2 in a 30 yo 3 story building 2 miles from the beach value is 350-400. They rent for $5000 a month .There is some older condos on the bay with a slip but your looking at 800-900 on the lower end. I have lived in Naples for 40...

Some kids on the sailboat down the dock from us had a Kool Snark , it was tippy with the 2 of them in it as they weren’t little kids but big Dutch kids. I had a StarCraft Skylark that my parents had bought new way back in the mid 60s. Cool boat and it was fast. My little brother broke the...

Back in the day like 45 years ago there were a group of guys that would have multiple partnerships in 50-60 foot racing sailboats at our yacht club, seem to workout. I've been debating selling a 1/2 share in my boat, but i think it would have to be with someone I've known .

I'm probably just a little warped having seen it done it on the Great Lakes for a decade plus cruising them back in the day, as may some PNW's may feel about their cruising grounds and think the grass is greener on the other coast. I have friends and family with boats up north that I jump on...

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, just not a fan of slugging down a brown river for a month.

I spent a couple winters up in Michigan with friends a few years back. My buddy had his formula SS cruiser in a heated hangar in grand haven along with 4 other buddies boats. Every weekend we were off to the hangar to strip the wax and rub on two more coats as were every one else in the barn...

I have a boat on the west coast of southern Florida and as much as I would like to Loop it there is just too much boredom coming down to the Gulf from the Great Lakes for me .Though I would like to run up the east coast to New Founland taking my time without the rush than back down the coast to...

I have a 2004 GH 37 I might be thinking of selling or leasing. Well maintained and fully updated with brand new late 2021 Yanmars and transmissions as well as a bilge rerig. Motors have 50 hours on them as of now . Only thing it doesn’t have on your list is a fly bridge.

Soft Scrub with bleach in it works wonders against everything from soot on the stern to rust and hard water stains. Apply it liberally and rub it in with a soft scrubby if your hull is that dull that you’re not worried about the finish. I used it for years on my commercial parasail boats as...

I got this, I used to be the hall monitor in elementary school. Keep the janitor’s number on speed dial and a mop and bucket close. Puke is a 2273 in progress.?

Don’t waist your time trying to find anything on the Gulf side . Marco island and Naples are booked for years but you might try Port of the Islands south of Marco. Ever since the hurricane barely anything has been replaced for slips as a thousand plus we’re lost. St Pete municipal is...
