That's a great looking boat at what seems to me to be a very reasonable price. I'm struggling not to hop on a plane to go see it. This time next year?

As a bonus, moorage up north is considerably less than in Seattle. Marin, What would be a typical moorage rate up north for say a 50' boat?

Tanqueray and tonic!

just want to stress the DO NOT RUN WATER WITH ENGINE OFF part. That is all. Why?

My only problem with that advise is that we're not totally sure where we want to live when we're done. It's also hard to say what kind of house you would want in 5-10 years, let alone where you would want it. Our approach is to have a rental property or two to hedge against real estate...

Hey Pau Hana, were you in Gorge Harbor a couple of weeks ago? Saw a boat by that name there and wondered if it was you

We're just coming back from a Princess Louisa Inlet and a Desolation Sound cruise. Truly amazing place. Love this place on earth

Keep it there! We're going to be up that way Saturday.

Yes, many variables and obviously "your mileage will vary". Thanks for all the input. I think the heads are fresh water but the description doesn't say. No watermaker. We'll be drinking and cooking with bottled water since I don't know the state of the fresh water tanks on the charter boat...

Hey TF Team, Curious how much water you typically use while you're out and about. We're chartering a boat with a 150 gallon tank and was trying to figure out how long that would last me and my SO. We can go pretty light and know how to conserve from camping and extended raft trips. Just wanted...

Hello everyone, Headed to Gulf Islands and Desolation Sound in September. Thoughts on cell coverage and the best way to handle roaming for Verizon users? I was on hold for eternity at Verizon so thought I would ask this group. Thanks a bunch.

This is a new one to the 'Is this a trawler' debate!

Tesla is pumping out ~9000 lithium battery powered cars per year with many, many more to come. No fires yet that weren't due to something else. That should help move along the conversion.

Ksanders, thanks for the write-up. I went and learned something today. Good stuff.

When we buy in a couple of years we plan to use a buyers broker. It seems like it will make the whole process easier, so why not. It doesn't cost me anything. Just like in real estate, find a good broker to represent you.

Mines a 2000 216ssi so they're like twins!

When my GF and I just met she was very green to boating. Our first date was out on a lake on my runabout with beautiful weather, amazing food, great wine with the most amazing lady I had ever met. She was hooked on boating and I was hooked on her. Forward 9 years. We're getting set to move...

Pineapple Girl, That looks just like my 21' Chaparral. Close?

Thanks for the blog link Keith. Good info.

What are thoughts on the minimum time you would want to go from Anacortes to Desolation Sound and the same question for Princess Louisa? We're doing a 10 day charter in September and are just starting to kick around some ideas. Thanks!

Hey guys, We're going to charter a Mainship 34 out of Anacortes this fall. I Started doing some planning and was unsure about the fuel burn rate we should expect. Please chime in if you can offer some advise. It has a 330hp Cummins with a cruising speed of 8 knots at 2800rpm. Thanks

Thanks HopCar. Alabama Jacks looks like our kind of place. Seafood, beer and you can boat to it. What could be better?

Nice pictures OB. I like the advise to get a guide and look at the backcountry fishing. I think we'll do a guide and then go it on our own for a few days. Is there anything worth seeing if we take the boat more into Everglades NP? We'll be shallow draft. Thanks guys

Moonstruck, Keep the temperatures up. We'll be there in 10 days! We're counting on you man.
