Kids, you might rethink that strategy.. look at the holes in this boat, from pirate attack.. -- Edited by Per on Monday 21st of February 2011 01:12:35 PM

the way i see it... buy now, and here are my reasons: 1. It is a family thing, ok perhaps your kids will not be going with you on the 1500 but you can use the boat a few years before making that big trip. 2. Who knows what will happen tomorrow or next year etc. You have to take time and enjoy...

i have a small 5-7 lbs "collapsible" steel galvanized anchor which we take along if docking on the beach. works great and i would think you really cant do without it.

your father inlaw looks very good for his age, he would have to be 90 or thereabout? props to him, please thank him from me personally! i was not born then, my parents just barely but my country was occupied by the nazis. the US and those soldiers who participated changed the outcome of that war.

Doug, that makes sense to me and disappointingly answers my question. This also explain why you dont need a gps antenna on these devices, most "real" GPS devices have some sort of external antenna.

doing some replacements faucets and wondering if the faucets are any different than household faucets? seems to be the same but i figure i might as well check first...

sounds like a handheld is what i need (and i have one of those), somehow i had in my mind that i would be better off with some sort of headlight when cruising at night.

the satellites used for gps positioning are very reliable in most locations of the world, the satellites are made and installed by the US military, initially for military purposes but have since been opened up for commercial use such a precise flight navigation. my query is related to the issue...

i am guessing it is flash and you are trying to watch from eight iphone or ipad, both do not support flash video. thanks for sharing Baker, it is awesome, just awesome.

when i was younger i read a lot, now i dont seem to have the time or patience for it. there is a danish writer/sailor named Troels Kloevedal, he wrote a bunch of books about his travels around the world in a sailboat. i am not sure if the books were translated but i would guess so. i like...

my neighbor a few boats down has the same boat as me, 38' LRC but his is 2 years younger, from 84 and has the 300HP 3208s. he says he gets it up to 24 knots no problem... pretty fast. wondering what others in the group have experienced?

not satelite coverage, cell phone coverage which is limited to less than line of sight. *

so i am gonna take this thread to the next logic step. fuel filters seem to play a vital part of this discussion. is there anything to loose or gain by using fuel filters with higher degree of filtration than required by manufacturer (in my case Cats)?

That sounds like a heck of a deal as long as it is weatherproof. Without knowing exactly how the panel is framed and what is available on the boat in the location you prefer it is kind of hard to provide many ideas. Need photos and/or sketches. * * you can see the panel here...

i have my wife stand on the stern, if we (read I) hit anything going reverse atleast i can blame her for it. if i had a monitor i could only blame myself, and how much fun is that?

Rick and MT I dont think i will be waiting for the next generation cells (at least not for the boat) since the cost of the mono is reasonable cost. i found an 85 watt mono including the volt/charge controller for a couple hundred bucks. my plan is to mount it on top of the FB "somehow" but i...

ok so what is your bright idea? put it in the head so as to safely back in?

Actually, I do plan on operating in remote, reef strewn waters, quite on my own for extended periods of time.* The need to be able to effect repairs becomes a requirement. * -- Edited by KJ on Thursday 17th of February 2011 12:41:50 AM * my comment is two fold: 1. I am considering to take...

skipperdude take one look at my boat and you will know. ok joking aside, probably not more than $400-500 max

there are a bunch of different types available on the market. the Guest model i have seen on many boats but i also like the Jabsco one with the option to set it to automatic send SOS in case of emergency. what do you have or wish you have?

my boat had been sitting a while when i bought her and she had almost full tanks, my diesel mechanic recommended that i have the diesel polished. as part of the process, the tanks were also polished and cleaned. after removing all the fuel and while the fuel was being polished through their...

who is a reliable supplier/vendor? how many panels (75w i assume)?

FF, i was wondering if you would be able to show your solar panel set up. possible with some photos showing the mounting etc. thanks *

i was just wondering what the bonding theory is all about but i am sure it is not easy to explain. will try to do some searching on the subject.

last few times where i have been out of cell phone range, i tried to run the gps apps but with no avail. it says searching.. eventually run down the battery. my Iphone is 3G version, dont know if that is 3rd generation? you dont have to go far on the ocean before you loose cellphone reception...
