    USCG documented vessel name change

    Upon closing on our boat in December, the applications for changing the ownership and vessel name were submitted to the CG per their requirements. With the holidays and now the government shutdown, I suspect this will take longer than normal to get the new Certificate of Documentation back. My...

    Where can I bareboat charter a Mainship 400??

    We bareboat chartered the Salty Peanut Mainship 40 last summer for 5 days from SWF Yachts. We had a great time with lots of things to see and do in that area and the folks at SWF Yachts are awesome! Also heard from someone who chartered the peanut just a month or so ago so maybe she will be back...

    Mainship 400 - Only Entry Level Trawler for X sailor?

    Did exactly that last summer and we had a blast. It convinced us to do it. We closed on our own last month!

    Broad Brush Statement I Heard

    I have an offshore center console fishing boat that I set up with all Simrad about 3 years ago. Two 12" MFD's, 4G radar, AP, Sonichub, Bluetooth, XM & VHF with AIS. All N2K networked. I think lots of larger CC and sportfish boat owners use Simrad but I wouldn't go that route if I did it again. I...

    Navigator 44 or 46 in the east

    After a nearly year long search I found my Navigator! A 2008 Navigator 4600 that we closed on yesterday. I know this is not a trawler but this site has provided a wealth of valuable information that eventually led us to this choice. I'm looking forward to being more active on this site now that...

    Image stabilized binocular recommendations

    There is one difference between the Nikon and the Fuji's. The Nikon has a switch that let's you put it into two modes: land and on-board, whereas the Fujinon is always in on-board mode. The on-board mode is more general, it compensates both for movement of your platform (walking, boat or vehicle...

    Image stabilized binocular recommendations

    I also have the Nikon StabilEyes (same as Fujinon). 14x40 with 4° stabilization. They are remarkable and would not go back to "normal" binocs unless these were not available.

    Moving a flybridge boat from West Coast to East Coast

    I recently got a quote to move a 48' flybridge boat from Ensenada, Mexico to Ft Lauderdale by boat. It was a little over $30K. They also transport from the Port of Vancouver.

    Testing Trawler Life

    We're pretty new to this forum but are also looking for our first real cruising boat, leaning towards a trawler style. We just finished a fantastic, week long bareboat rental of a trawler through Southwest Florida Yachts. It was a great way to get a taste of the live-aboard experience as well as...

    Navigator 44 or 46 in the east

    I've never posted here before but been a TF member for a while and have read through thousands of helpful posts. This is a great forum! We've also been searching for our next boat for the past 6 months. We really like the Navigators and have them on our short list but they're not so common in...
