    DirecTV and KVH

    KVH Saga 2 years later what’s your report? My M5 just went down and tech says need to replace LNB to start… Also says the systems dead, while in the same breath that it may be his laptop doesn’t have the right drivers… Ugh. Powered up the system searches and seems to lock towards 101, but no...

    Mikelson 42'

    Having spent several years fishing and cruising out of Huntington Beach aboard the 59 Nomad "Kismet" I can say it's one of my favorites. So much so that I bought a 2008 (last year without pods until 2018) 43 with twin Cummins. While I miss the comfort and amenities of the Nomad, I love the speed...
