Beaufort NC or Beaufort SC, not even the same state and what set the bridge tender off was the boat kept hailing her as Beaufort pronounced as if they were in SC. Hence the question from her asking the boat where they thought they were. They drive cars at 70 MPH and vote as well.

But they get great mileage by what they just did.

Only a few miles. Last summer while waiting for the draw bridge in Beaufort NC I was having an early morning (5:30 AM) chat with the Bridge Tender. The subject came up of folks not knowing where they were and she swears that eariler in the spring she had a boat that was headed south that...

Right. Think about this, Key West, Property, Auction, Price, Moon. To Mars or higher is where it is going to go.

If SD looked like that he/she would get my vote for Hall of Farmer.:)

Tim, That's kind of a blanket statement and I don't agree with it. There are plenty of turbo boost engines that run trouble free if maintained correctly. The technology has come a long way in the past 20 or so years. Keep in mind that in the 50's, 60's and 70's fuel injection on a gas...

One theory of the Fitzgerald sinking was that she hit the bottom after going up a very large wave, 30 - 40'. When she struck the bottom it broke her back and that is why she went down so fast.

Marlow in fact does own the Mainship and Hunter brands. There is a new Mainship coming out in a few short months. The Mainship Group is a Yahoo Group. mainship@yahoogroups.com

And gets a paycheck besides. Amazing.:popcorn:

After sale is a function of the Dealer not the builder in a lot of cases. Boat dealers seem to be reliant on someone else's yard for their work a lot of the time. It isn't a lot different with cars and they have their own service department. Chevy builds the car the same way every day. But two...

Kinda makes one want to be on a Boomer. But I gotta say there were no fenders hanging out.

The correct term for an "Electric hose".:)

My kinda guy Ole & Lena lived by a lake in Nordern Minnesota. It vas early vinter and da lake had froze over. Ole asked Lena if she vould valk across da frozen lake to da yeneral store to get him some beer. She asked him for some money but he told her, “Nah, yust put it on our tab.” So Lena...

I found that having a buyers broker is not 100% but it does save on some of the useless trips. The brokers know that they have a lot more to lose if they lie to another broker than to you.

We will miss him at the docks for sure.

Hope everyone has a great New Year. Here is something that is right up RT Firefly's alley so to speak. Can't believe he missed it. Got this from a fellow Mainship owner who is on this list once and a while. Click here: ILHAMA feat. DJ OGB - Bei mir bist du scheen - YouTube </SPAN>

I said this before, it can do nothing but help those of us that have them. With a class outfit like Marlow doing it the image will improve. Three years from now no one will even remember it went belly up.:dance:

I have the Trick Davit system and as far as the system goes I can find no fault. It holds the dink high enough out of the water that the engine is not a problem if it does hit the water just tilt it up a bit. My only complaint is that on the 34t Mainship the exhaust is under the water at the...

Radiaded fries with the burger sir?

For all of the folks that didn't think it would happen, here is a post from the Mainship Group. "Anyone see this month's Passagemaker? David Marlow is describing the new model as follows: "One might imagine a Grand Banks 32 with softer lines and a bit more modern technology and significantly...

Are you kidding? What would the horse know? You have to talk to twenty five cowboys who's grandfather's had the only correct way of doing it.:rolleyes:

Your not looking for one to slaughter for New Years dinner are you.. That's one of the flock tenders jobs you know.

Tom owns Oriental Marina which is on your right as you come to the end of the channel. You can see it in the picture that Gonzo posted behind and to the left of the two sail boats at the city dock. Oriental Marina (252) 249-1818 Just checked Harbour Cam and the two sail boats are still...

Looks like Tom has all kind of room though.

But the point is Fred those same things are true all over the country as well. Go to any yard, ant where and there are at least a 1/2 dozen boats that haven't seen their owner in a couple of years and can be bought for way under the going rate. But who really wants them. Right next to...
