I can personally attest to the effectiveness of Magnus stabilization. Instant the moment you turn them on and extremely effective. If we are cruising with them off and I observe a boat (think 35+ sportfish) on plane ready to overtake us, I simply turn them on and instantly prevent getting...

Sold!

Located in my warehouse in Delaware County, PA. I will crate for free and ship at buyers expense.

Always had good results with Never-Dull, Comes in a saturated cotton like wadding. Takes some elbow grease but nice results. It is important to hose off stainless steel with fresh water and shammy after exposure to salt water/spray, to keep a shine.

I purchased these new from West Marine 2 seasons ago. They are in very good condition with no rips, stains, tears, or blemishes. This includes the seat, mounting slide mechanism and pedestals. I paid $775 for the pair, they are now $600 each! I am looking for $550 for the pair. I am selling...

Be sure to put a fine line tape on the bottom of the seams as the calk is only meant to adhere to the sides of the seams due to the expanding and contracting of the seams. Teak Decking Systems is a great resource of information for properly refining teak decks.

Congrats! Hope it all works out. For what it's worth, I would avoid Baltimore or Philadelphia as a home base. Look at Havre De Grace, MD or Middle River MD area. If you are stuck on an urban environment, look at Canton, MD which is very close to Baltimore, but far enough away. Canton has nice...

I don't find it odd if your boat is not documented. I have had many bridge tenders ask for my home port after I request an opening. It would only be expected that they ask for your registration if you are not USCG documented.

HGD, thanks for this post regarding the EPropulsion warranty. I just bought one for our Bote SUP. Good to know.

Technically, it is not a sailboat, it is a sail assisted motor yacht. It is not designed to be underway under sail alone. Anyway, to the point of the OP, "Hit 'em where it hurts", nobody likes getting their pockets picked.

Like ComoDave said above, dockside pressure can cause real problems. If you are going to use dockside water, I highly recommend a pressure regulator before the boat connection. We do not hook up to dockside, we just use our onboard tanks and mind them. Much safer.

Defiantly worth topping off now. Hopefully the prices will calm down in the next 2100 miles.

They were more commonly know in the US as the Med Yacht 62. Only a handful were made.

Like my Grandpa always said "Don't bitch about the price of matches when you're smoking cigars!"

This stuff is awesome. I used it on a polished steel stairway, 3 stories, 9 years ago and it looks like the day I applied it. I have also used it on bare metal exposed to high heat and it really stand up. https://permalac.com/

I owned a 83' Wheeler very similar to Lepke's 23 years ago. They say you never really own a boat, you are merely the current caretaker. What are you willing to pay for that privilege? There is a simple test that will prove if you have what it takes to own a wooden boat. First step, go to your...

I've sold commercial food service equipment for 30 years and this is the best I have owned. Routinely cook a feast for 9-12 people on ours. https://www.lazyman.com/product/model-a1-built-in-grill/

My advise on the information you provided, "vacation" and "occasional", would be to do some charter boats for awhile. You will find out all you need to know about what boats will satisfy your needs by this method. It will probably save you a ton of money in the long run.
