    Maretron N2KView

    Hi Jade, Sorry, I wasn't very clear. On my existing system I use a Mac mini M1 to run AquaMaps, WilhelmSK, SignalK and a MQTT Broker. I use a Raspberry Pi to gather and transmit all my homegrown sensor data (temps, bilge pumps, shorepower monitor, etc). When I re-created this for my friend I...

    Maretron N2KView

    I have been using multiple Pi’s on my n2k network for 7 years. I use WilhelmSK as my display. So far I’ve had 1 Pi failure due to a bad power supply. More recently I created the same system for a friend except I used a Mac M1 rather than the Pi’s. In both cases I use Signalk, WilhelmSK, and...

    KK Justification of High Price

    I almost bought a Selene 52. But I ultimately decided a full displacement hull was a requirement. That leaves only 2 choices, Nordhaven and KK.

    KK Justification of High Price

    I have had 7 boats over 30 years. The last 2 have been Kadey Krogen’s (a 48 and currently a 55). I live aboard and travel approximately 3,500 miles a year. There is no question, our boat is far more seaworthy than we are!! There are only 2 full displacement boats manufacturers to chose...

    Stuart FL Dealer/Broker

    I agree. Bill Harris knows the trawler market better than anyone in the Stuart area and beyond.

    Skeleton type key

    Key I just dropped my skeleton key overboard yesterday! I called two locksmiths and the second one had the right size blank. He had to "cut" it by hand and charged me $45. His shop is in Baltimore. The key works perfect.
