Welcome, Nice boat!!!!!!!!! We came very close to purchasing a Blue Seas 31. Greg

Bill, What a perfect place to break up the trip to the Cape. It will be fun to compare boats and setups. Thanks Greg

Willpep, Do you have a MS30 pilot or MS30 pilot 2? What prop do you have? Shaft extension? You know where I a going. We are cruising up your way this summer. Can you recommend a good marina for a 1 night layover? Your area is a good midway point to the Cape for us. Hope to see you on the...

Seeve, Once the water is warm, Rosie's attention would quickly refocus. Martin, Kevin stated I will have more than 4' at low tide. I will check the water next time I am down. Even if we have to shower on the boat, I am still looking forward to Trader's Cove. I appreciate the information and...

Martin, Is the water warm or is it just cold water? I told my wife about the water last night and I was having an affair and spent all our money. Guess which one she was upset about. Greg

Maritin, We are going to be at D-11 or D-17. What is the problem with the power? Should I expect problems on D dock? No hot water--the wife is going to kill me. You being on A dock have front row seats to the boat ramp show. See you soon. John, We have talked about taking a slip down your...

I tried WD-40-- sort a worked, Goo Gone worked much better. Greg

Buy a Kill A Watt meter. Measures watts, kwatt hours, power factor, amps volts...great and cheap tool. Power Factor comes in play on inductive loads. Greg

Gallyhag, You are very close, I would like to see it. Any issues? Sent a private message with cell phone. Greg

Smitty, You could be right. I will probably struggle then over engineer a solution then buy a bigger boat. Greg

yes, This is interesting and not too far away. https://cnj.craigslist.org/boa/d/keyport-outboard-tohatsu-98hp-short/6787491252.html

We are looking for a starter Dinghy for our Starter "Trawler". We are not retired and don't cruise much. Our default is a Costco $650 and 9.9 hp 4 stroke. Many recommend a Mercury 15-- 2 stroke. I fell in love with 4 stroke outboards and would have a hard time going back to the smell. My wife...

Al, What power are you pushing the Costco dingy with? How are you mounting it? We are not cheap--just frugal. I assume the seat is mounted in the new Costco dingy. Greg

Welcome and Good luck Greg

We have the blue hull in NJ. Never thought about heat gain. Power is a 240 LH-STE, long cruising at 14 knots, 16 knots not at full power. I like to power for high current inlets but run the boat at hull speed most of the time. We spend long weekends on our boat and really enjoy. Storage of...

Welcome to NJ! Looking forward to retirement.

We are looking at Traders Cove Marina in Brick NJ. Anyone have any experience there? The grounds look very nice, close to beaches, protected slips, and floating docks. Two negatives I see: Is Sharing the public restrooms with the park visitors, especially during concerts. The Resource Building...

Be careful getting 4200 on threads that you don't want it on, very sticky and it makes it hard to turn. Greg

Thank You for the comments. I really appreciate everyone's opinions. I am waiting for the Yard to reply. The Service manager did seem concerned when I told him. I plan on calling Airmar Monday. Not ready to agree or do anything too quickly. Greg

Bye the way, Rosie and I installed this transducer last July We installed the SS75 transducer last July. Looked great coming out of the water this fall.

I had the yard soda blast my bottom, they didn't protect my transducer. I even asked if I should tape the face--" No we will do that". Is this a big deal? I have a SS75H-12degree. Do I wet sand the face? What grit? My instinct would be to start with 220 and work thru to 2,000. They did do a...

Be careful of judging a boat with pictures and descriptions. We were fooled both ways, sometimes over honesty and bad pictures hide nice boats, and BS and 4 year old pictures didn't reveal a real piece of #@$%. Shame on some of the brokers that wasted my time. You can't smell, looking at a...

On one of our weekend boat searches in Wickford RI we found a great ice cream shop: The Inside Scoop in North Kingstown RI just off of route 1 https://www.theinsidescoopri.com/ The boats were a bust but the ice cream--- we still talk about. Greg and Rosie

I purchased a Garmin EchoMaps plus 94sv for a backup GPS. I didn't realize that the Helm feature of Activecaptain doesn't work with the Echomaps. I love the controlling the Simrad with a Ipad while some else is at the helm, especially at night. Greg

I hindsight we are glad we spend many weekends driving as far north as Boston and south to North Carolina. I miss boat shopping, especially when meeting the owners. Don't rush the process and when in doubt--walk away. Good Luck, feel free to invite yourself for a tour if you find yourself in...
