    Gas

    The only gasoline on my boat is in an eleven gallon seat tank built into my dinghy, which is held upright on the davits. But honestly, I would be happy to carry a can in my cockpit or swimstep. I would not however carry it on the flybridge, as it would get into places not desired if a leak...

    Where's Carey?

    Andy Given that a thread by my name presented itself, I thought it necessary to make a brief appearance.* The Mobile Homes FEMA uses are for the most part purchased from manufacturers who threw their hats in the ring to win "Disaster Housing" contracts. These are not the most luxurious of what...

    Really??? Exit stage left. This site was intended for boaters to speak with boaters about boating issues. It was not intended as a forum for you or anyone else to further your career. Move on.*

    scum in the shower sump sticking the float switch

    Another thing you might do is to go to the root cause, meaning the soap you use. We use Campsuds on the boat. You can buy it by the gallon at a sporting goods store, and it's biodegradable. We have used it on our boat for sixteen years with no problems with the float switch. We use it in the...

    It must have a name...

    Short of a true nautical term, I call it a wire chase.

    Trawler vs. Houseboat

    The Manatees may fall into the character boat category, but not the cartoon category. They were clearly designed by a professional with a good eye. The referenced cartoon boat actually is not a well executed cartoon design. As to the hull, it looks like a very nice lobster boat hull, and who...

    Trawler vs. Houseboat

    I am baffled. I can't thing of one good thing to say about that boat. Cartoonists should not design boats!!!

    Safe & secure on a state parks mooring bouy?

    This isn't the first time I've heard of a Washington State Parks bouy failure. The other one involved damage. A friend of the family shared his philosophy with me concerning the fact that you have no idea what is under the water, unless you put it there. That's why he would never use a bouy, but...

    Lps3

    LPS products are very high quality, and found at many locations in the NW. The local hardware store carries the full line. LPS 1 is a dry film lubricant/penetrant, like WD40, but will evaporate over time. Then there is LPS 2, which is a wet film lubricant. LPS 3 is a rust/corrosion inhibitor...

    Major renovations?

    You'd be better off buying a Grand Banks Europa. All the work is done, and all you'll have time for now is varnishing. The Europa would likely keep it's value better than a custom conversion. But to answer your question, I don't think it would necessarily be top heavy.
