Hey Bruce! While you're checking for an SC marina to winter at try Lady's Island Marina. It's just across the bridge from Beaufort. We spent a winter there as extended cruisers and were not policed about the amount of time we spent on our boat. Telling them you are there for the season should...

We used manufactured lumber for our platform rebuild, BUT inside the boat we used mahogany and sapele when we needed a good match for teak because it was more easily accessible and less expensive....and it is BEAUTIFUL!

Hi Marigold! We have a 1978 Marine Trader 44 and we had some water stains and veneer damage to deal with too. I wanted to save everything we could! We tried several options for replacement peel and stick and just couldn't quite find what we wanted as far as color goes. I'm not sure how severe...

That's very likely what we will do until a full survey allows us to insure it for the value including all the work we have put into it :)

Not "deftly avoiding" anything sir. It's a long story and since an insurance adjuster found there was no negligence I felt that was an adequate response to the poster's question. If you do not...well, Press On Brother. Have a blessed night :)

LOL Murray....That makes two of us!

That's what we're hoping for too Larry!

Small local company Donna. We paid cash for our boat so they inspected and went off of a previous survey. The adjuster determined it to be an accident that was not negligence. We are blessed to be mechanically inclined and that they paid as well as did not require "taking custody" in order to do...

Definitely not operator error (thank goodness!) And Positive answers to all of those questions....I'm feeling a little better now. Thank you!

Hi Ted, yes, we definitely still own it. We paid cash when we bought it and found an insurance company that inspected and was willing to insure it for what we paid and when we lost it, we made it very clear we were maintaining possession even if they paid, and if they wouldn't allow that to keep...

Hi All! Looking for any advice. When our boat sank, the insurance company totaled it and paid out what we bought it for. But we raised it, saved the engines, saved the generator, pretty much saved everything and piloted it 1200 miles home. This is not a heap of junk just barely floating. lol...

Working on "More"....just trying to catch up on sleep. Most exhausting 3 weeks I've had in a long time!

Well this is our home port No Mast so definitely let us know when you pass back through!

I had to take a break on the "coming home" trip but wonderfulwade is in Georgia now, with my dad as his new first mate. Making progress!

Hi Bilge53 (other half of Lazy Libra crew here). We actually didn't have shore water hooked up. This will likely forever remain a mystery :banghead:

Yes! She definitely needs to get it out of her system before I get there so I don't have to :hide:
