    Installing helm seat californian 34

    What is your overhead like in the main salon. Are there panels that you can remove to access the the floor if the flybridge? Hopefully so. Then you can thru bolt the seat base. Just be sure to use a strong backing plate with substantial hardware.

    Flexible Solar to Bimini mounting

    The previous owner of GB #599 mounted a large solar panel to what I believe was the original bimini top for the flybridge. He relocated it to the top of the aft cabin. The boom has been removed. The solar panel is mounted on bows over the forward section. The original short bimini attaches under...

    2023 cruising, So Where are You Going?

    Whitehall bay used to be an anchoring/swimming spot back in the '70s. Used to keep my Cal 2-27 in Spa creek. Been out of that area since early '80s. Looking forward to cruising The Bay again.

    Who has/uses AIS?

    Bought a boat whose owner had passed away. Wife had no clue about the systems on the boat even after living on it for 15 years. Adult son was tasked with cleaning the boat and he took EVERY piece of paperwork, manuals, and logs from the boat. I haven't boated since the '80s. Do not know if there...

    Teak decks

    Thanks Patience, but that GB 36 failed survey. Found GB 36 #599 down in Marathon FL last summer. Teak decks removed and fuel tanks replaced. Brought her up to Crisfield MD to start the Loop this year.

    Newbie-need info on Lien Hwa boat

    Removed 2 composites from my Grand Banks after survey and prior to purchase. They were on the a/c return lines just above the waterline. They were deteriorating. Will not have anything but bronze thruhulls and seastrainers.

    Boat search is over....

    We would vacation up on the Delmarva peninsula. Ended up buying a summer place up there after retiring several years ago. Now wife decided we need to do the Great Loop. So now we have another boat too....... Will it ever end?

    Water tanks

    Good morning. The tanks are original. I believe steel. I am 1200 miles from boat and won't be back til late March. Somewhere I noted quick measurements, 43"L×14"W×31"D if I remember correctly. Then somewhere I read that they are trapezoidal not rectangular. So in the spring I will be unloading...

    window tinting

    I have the 3M solar tint on 2 different vehicle windshields. Both were applied at the same shop. 2019 Chevy 2500 and 2018 chevy equinox. They were applied at different times about a year apart. Truck applied first soon after purchase. Equinox was 2 years old when purchased and tint was applied...

    AIS and enforcement

    I would rather NOT have wind turbines at all..... Their useful life is not worth their cost and maintenance, if any is actually performed. I do support commonsense measures to support and protect wildlife.

    color fabric for bimini

    Our GB 36 came with an aged bimini that had a fairly new, albeit, homemade enclosure. Both were a royal blue, with the bimini very faded. It was all drum tight, but the bimini leaked when it rained. The fabric was very thin. Of course the labor to make a new bimini to match to existing side...

    AIS and enforcement

    If the government is so worried about right whales and other sea life, why are they disregarding their own study advising against offshore wind turbine farms? Specifically of Cox Ledge? Check latest from gCaptain.

    Repower with outboard?

    Think I can get 4 of those diesel outboards on the transom of my GB 36. They are massive. Need to contact Armstrong brackets with measurements.
