Have 2 3208 CATS with Glendinning. Works great!

Regular Appliances, etc. I, long ago, replaced my Princess 3 burner & oven with smooth top 3 burner, did away with the oven and replaced it with drawers. Use convection microwave for oven stuff. Additionally, I replaced cold plate fridge boxes with counter depth fridge/freezer. Finally, the...

Congratulations on moving to living aboard....would LOVE to do the same but it ain't gonna' happen. SO, I just go to the boat frequently. I also get to travel a lot in it and my wife meets me at destinations...that way we have a car once I get to the proper coast (mostly west coast of Florida...

I have gotten fuel there...no problems. Good price. I more often get it at Doctor's Lake....but Mandarin is about .50 cents/gallon LESS! Great price.

Tanks Many cut the tanks out (piece by piece) reinstall 4 150 gallon tanks...that way that can go in though window. Others cut bottom out and drop tanks....I'd be for cutting them up and removing them...lots of folks have done that.

I have a lower help and NEVER use it regardless of the weather (yes, I HAVE frozen up there before..lol). I know have it enclosed. Just can see much better there. In fact, I wouldn't entertain the idea of buying a boat without a flybridge...but I know some people feel otherwise.

Search lights Interesting comments.... I DO use mine when I'm coming into an unmarked (on the chart) inlet from the ocean, with small, frequently moved, navigation buoys (like St. Augustine). While they are lit...I like to EYEBALL them. Yes, of course it screws up one's night vision a bit but...

I hardly think anybody wanted their boat to sink. You make a call and sometimes you're right other times you're wrong. Monday morning Quarterbacking, I'd say. It is hard to know where to go sometimes and it is REALLY hard to know where a hurricane is going.

Mine is plumbed right into the top of the tank. I do know someone who has a splitter that enables him to divert from tank directly to a container. My installer didn't want to do that.

I have a Spectral Catalina (DC powered) that makes about 11-12 gallons per hour. I had it installed several years ago and it has worked fine. Have only replaced the membrane (two short ones) one time. It is a great unit. When in the Bahamas or Keys, one rarely has to change the filters...

I have a Nick Jackson davit on my boat (1000 lb.) lifting a 12' Novurania with 25 hp. 4 stroke. Have had it for about 3 years....works great. Rides on the starboard side of 46' GB Classic. Great crane.

Moved boat from YC to Ortega Landing BUT, things are looking better for all of us.

Bryant, we have to get together one of these days at the YC one of these days to talk about our GB experiences. I'm on the T-dock...blue hull.

Grandbank....you are right regarding insurance....I've had to have an in-water survey this past year for policy year. It seems they need this every 5 years or so.

Question: I have a post on this thread and have a picture of my boat on my profile but it does not appear with my post....how to 'fix' this?

I have a GB Classic (46') and have a good friend who has a Defever....both good boats. I've had mine for about 7 years. Have been to the Bahamas two or three times, up to Charleston (once), to Key West a bunch of times and over to the West Coast (Naples, Sarasota, St. Pete) every winter. Home...

I have a 46' GB Classic and have gone from Jax to Key West....From Key West to Naples, Sarasota, etc. many times by myself. One time pulling my 16.5' Egret. Docked sometimes (interesting when pulling a boat...lol) but most often on the hook. No problems in most cases docking alone. I do it...

I have pulled my 16.5' Egret (behind 46' GB CL) from Jax to the Bahamas and the Keys more than a few times. Have used a bridle and never had any problems at all. Also have pulled my son-in- law's 20 Hurricane to the Bahamas and the Keys as well as to Tortugas. No problems and I've even pulled...

Boom JClay, I have 46' GB Classic....took the boom off. It has uses (mostly for lifting 8D batteries...lol. I have a davit with which I load and off load a 12 dinghy. Boom was in the way.

Note: Have removed my refrigerator boxes and installed a 24" (narrow) LG fridge/freezer. Looks great...LOTS of work. LOL. Will need to have some finish work but wife will love it. Quote to replace compressor was 5400.00 bucks...they cost 42 or 4300.00. Boat is at FYC

I have a 46' Classic. Have put about 3500 hours on it since I purchased it....know it pretty well. Great boat.

Would LOVE to know source.....I threw a handful of them away after purchasing my boat. . . before I knew what they were for. LOL

I had a davit installed on my GB CL (46) and lift a 12' dingy. Works great! Nick Jackson CO Davits

Thanks for your reply (note, my boat is at the Florida YC . . . I noticed you were in Fleming Island). I'm thinking I'm either going to a DC system (have seen several that appear to be nice) or remove the boxes entirely and get a narrow regular 120 volt Bosch or GE refrigerator/freezer (they...
