I've read many threads in TF that circle around the need for a viable solution to questions such as; "generator or no generator onboard?", "best energy storage systems?", and "running air conditioning at anchor?". Good article about the marriage of 2 technologies emerging in the recreational...

The future is here Came across this article and it kind of answers the OP question. Many of the replies to the original question fail to mention the new (to recreational boating) technology of air conditioning inverter compressors. Their low draw make many of the proposed "no gen" set ups...

:thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb: Well put B&B!

No, I was reading about these : https://www.telemaruk.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=96&Itemid=229 as well as other LRAD systems.

I stand corrected. I've read about anti-measure devices being employed on private yachts. It certainly was not my intention to send this thread on an unintended tangent. You will defiantly be cruising some of the most beautiful areas in the world on an equally beautiful boat. Enjoy!

Welcome aboard CaptSea, she's a real beaut! Correct me if I'm wrong, but are the "flood lighting" actually a pirate deterrent system? Seeing that your home port will be in Thailand, I can understand.

All good things must come to an end. Called both numbers you mentioned and completely sold out with no new shipments expected. The first number said to call back in 2 weeks and see if anything changed. The offer probably expires by then. However, I was told by the second number AT&T person...

Thanks for the info. Did some Googling and see what you mean. I just canceled my AT&T order. Thanks for saving me the aggravation.

Depend if you are looking for a system to monitor while aboard/underway or for remote surveillance. If you are looking for a remote system, SimpliCam by SimpliSafe https://simplisafe.com/simplicam-security-camera is a no brainier, as long as you have WiFi available. Only need to plug it in to an...

On the Bohemia, spiders are defiantly a problem undercover. If you wash the boat once a week, it will keep them at bay. The darkness mentioned above could be a problem depending on the slip orientation. We actually get the sun rising over our bow and flooding the master with light through 2...

The skinny on the $20/mo unlimited AT&T I just spent the last several hours (on and off) looking into this. As of 5pm today, this is what I found. 1. Have to order on website only for this plan. 2. Mobley doesn't exist anymore for At&T. It is a device called Spark made by Harman. 3. There is no...

I apologize if I am posting this in the wrong forum, but I figured since it is not my boat for sale and it would be of general interest, I posted here. I have no affiliation with the boat, owner, or sales method. I know that there are readers of this forum that are looking for worthy projects...

If you are a Boat US member, you can contact them. Every month in their magazine are stories of them intervening to get to a resolution. Almost always, the boater is made whole.

Ative Captain Arrives on Navionics Today...

Automatic power source transfer switching, generator, 1200 gal. diesel. 24/7 remote monitoring with real time alerts. 50 min. drive from boat.

Like these... Don't be a hater, we are fortunate to have a Kabola system on our new to us boat. There is a heated towel rack in all 3 heads. We will be keeping our system on this winter. We have a web based monitoring system for when we are not aboard. It has multiple temperature sensors as well...

Andrea Doria's Captain's launch Boat project #12,765. Be careful with your dreams. I found the attached ad about 20 years ago. It just struck me as something very glamorous (yes, both the boat and the lady passenger, but this post is about the boat). Over the years I kept my eye out for a...

One downside... On our last boat (33ft. express) I searched for a back-up to the dated electronics installed on the boat when we purchased it (2017). I came across the Galaxy View with a massive 18.4" touch screen that was surprisingly daylight readable (not so much in direct sun). At the time...

Have you made plans for your delivery yet? Any firm dates or still in the purchase phase?

The boat has a really unique but very effective stabilizer system engineered by the stabilizer master Ted Koop and made by KoopNautics. You can see them in the haul out picture. They are the large horizontal cylinder looking things at the transom below the waterline. During our sea trial it was...

Thanks for all the positive comments. Here's some ER porn for ya OC Diver. These pics were taken during survey and most of the hoses have been replaced as well as a to of other maintenance items. Sorry about the last 2 pics. I couldn't figure out how to keep pictures from automatically...

We are taking our new (to us) trawler north next weekend. Planning on leaving first light (8/18) out Pt. Everglades and hugging the coast till north of Palm Beach then a B-line to Charleston Harbor. Plan on running inside from there, to and up the Chesapeake. Looking for anyone with a similar...

My wife and I are, as they say, "the current caretakers" of the 54' Vripack formerly named Lady Galathea. We took delivery a couple weeks ago and are planning to leave Lauderdale next weekend to bring her north to her new home on the Chesapeake. Anybody else heading north next week? Wouldn't...

Have you explored the Tesla Powerwall as an option? Preliminary pricing is $6600 per 24 kWh/day module including all supporting hardware. It appears to be for the most part "plug and play". Installation costs vary from $1000-$3000 using their installers. Solar is optional but seems the unit...
