Just watched a CNBC Television Youtube video entitled "Boat Stocks sinking could be a warning sign for high-end consumers, warns Larry McDonald". So, is demand falling off, or just a brief pause?

A commodities trader shared with me: “He who thinks he is smarter than Market God, Market God punishes”. As we all know, timing markets is hard. Same may hold for the boat market. Buy on value and it will, likely hold its value in the long run. Very well maintained boats seem to do well in...

We really like Eartec. Definately great for docking or picking up balls. However it's important to exercise self control. i often hum songs while docking . My spouse claims it is cruel and unusual punishment. Just saying. :angel:

For what it's worth, Victron sample circuit arrangements show protective devices before and downstream of the controller. The diagrams are somewhere on their website, just don't remember where.

A couple of years ago we had Amtico installed on our NT-32. The installed cost was a little over $4k. Given our small footprint, the OP's estimate of $8K for a NT-42, sounds like it's in the right range. Cheers,

Ditto on the Time Zero on the PC. Can be directly linked with the TZT3 MFD with the tides and current displayed on both. A bit of overkill, but...

Really like TimeZero. Have the Navigator version with the radar option. We replaced our 13 year old Raymarine system with an complete Furuno system. Love it. We have TimeZero on two PCs; one at home for planning and one on our boat as a redundant display to our TZT3. Hard to beat the ease of...

+1 :thumb: For many years, BC has been an important part of our lives. It's been missed.

My wife added "Wife Aboard" to our list. There might have been an incident...

When we installed our system the cable to connect to the panel included a ground wire. And we used it. Also grounded the MPPT box. in a Victron diagram it shows a protective device before and after the MPPT. Thought it might be overkill, but installed them none the less. Unfortunately, can't...

Just spent 3 days in Reid Harbor and T-Mobile worked fine. Including the hotspot for watching Youtube, Netflix, etc. Also worked fine for TimeZero and TZT3 cloud link. Cheers,

Ditto on that Tom, Cheers, Ang

Mooring and at anchor 70+% of the time. It's nice to visit a special marina now and then. Cheers,

We are currently having a Furuno system installed on our boat. While I've been using Coastal Explorer for a number of years (and like it) we are looking at licensing TZ-Navigator plus the radar option. Some of the things that might be useful for us: -moving routes and waypoints between our PC...

Northend, Going back to the first paragraph of your first post, a boat that grabs your "heart" is real important. You'll live with her for a number of years and it's makes a real difference if she brings a smile to your face year in and year out. All most all of the boats mentioned will...

Welcome! She's a very nice looking Tolly.

Welcome Aboard. Look forward to the borders opening and we can enjoy each others cruising areas. :thumb: Cheers,

"Happy Talk" by some politician aside, it's going to be quite some time before we have a widespread use of a vaccine. So, not planning on any trips to Canada next year. Do miss spending time with our Canadian friends. Really hope I'm wrong about this.

certainly concur with comments on low speed, radar, AIS, automated fog horns and listening. a fine point is transmitting an AIS signal. Had the experience of being on a course that intercepted a freighter at the northeast corner of Orcas island. The island block radar sweeps. Since we were...

Welcome aboard neighbor and fellow photographer. We live near Echo Lake and have a Nordic Tug at the Everett marina. We moved up to the NT after five years with a 32' cruiser with flybridge. Our NT is about 50% heavier and tracks well in high winds and seas. And, of course, have adopted the 7...

Welcome and Congrats on the boat. Enjoy the Salish Sea.

Congrats! what a nice looking tug. Enjoy.

Our pilothouse is set up so ours seats are next to each other and makes it easy to share piloting tasks and awareness. The majority of the time we are both in the pilothouse. If you are new to boating you may want to consider purchasing a wireless headset. Can help communications in close...

+1, good time for some maintenance projects.

Not good news. My boat is totally Raymarine with the exception of the Vesper AIS add-on. The system is about 13 years old and i have been saving my pennies for its replacement in the next year or two. Based on the FLIR press release, assuming my new system is a Raymarine replacement is...
