    rate my for sale ad/price please

    I would find a way to get ad exposure further away. In the cold north, I look at craigslist boat ads to pass the time- but haven't seen yours. Regional viewing limits? You may get some nibbles from others dreaming about boats and warmer climates if you can find a way for your ad to show up...

    For Sale: 36 Grand Banks

    Well, OP is definitely building suspense. But... there are only so many free thread bumps one can count on before the post gets lost under others. I too would like to see a few pictures and maybe an asking price. Maybe he's waiting on a genuine RT Firefly 'Welcome Aboard' before proceeding. :)

    Why?

    Opinion from a newby: The forum is a launching point for learning. The threads themselves are good for learning from others doing and living the life. The discussions give alternatives, or prove and disprove theories; and even the thread drift usually has something of value (or include a...

    Have Chevy Trucks Forsaken The White Collar Men?

    Those are very nice warwagons, still look good and are easy to add some musclecar parts. I had a neighbor that had one, complete with a bumpersticker stating: You just got smoked by a stationwagon. It could back that statement up. Performance and utility. Even if not modded, they are a...

    Yachtworld search feature

    Working for me. But i normally go straight to the advanced search feature in order to look at specific subtypes of boat features just to avoid being inundated from everything from bathtubs to the second coming of HMS Titanic. By the way, have you recently refreshed your cache or otherwise...

    Coot 35

    Yes. The 'as is' got my attention too, especially after the write up about it handling well in a monsoon yet now is for sale for a higher price than a failed auction with no bids. Too many connotations here. That's how my brain works even though I'm aware that it may be nothing. It is a...

    Coot 35

    @OldDan1943 The link had part of the next sentence from the post included, so no worky. The boat is still listed on the site, but has no price listed unlike the Yachtworld listing. Here is the specific boatpoint link to this boat if you still want to look it over...

    Yachworld useability

    I've a couple ideas, but we will probably need more info on what you use in order to pinpoint a fix for you. In the meantime, here are some suggestions/questions: What browser do you use? If you have more than one installed is it the same result for all? For Google Chrome, the extension...

    Time to replace our house battery bank.

    @ghost For clarification; you installed the AMG batteries because of the Marina power outage? Or did the outage happen after you did this install and now you've discovered something unsettling? Your testimony could track logically either way, at least to me :) hence my questions.

    Anyone Receive The Latest PassageMaker Yet?

    I don't get it, but went to the www.PassageMaker.com website (assuming they are related and found two interesting articles right off the bat: First was a charter company setting up operations on the Rideau (interesting to those boatless like me), Second, the Mexican alternative to the...

    Salon Light Lens removal

    Really looks like it could pry out with a plastic pry bar or whatever you can find in your silverware drawer. Or, maybe they once came out too easily and the PO wedged or glued something in them to hold the lens covers in. This comes to mind because I've dealt with light housings that...

    T Mobile 55+ Plan

    AT&T and T-Mobile Use GSM which is what most of the rest of the world uses, especially Europe. GSM also keeps your phone info on a sim card which you can swap between phones. Verizon and Sprint use CDMA. Where and why you travel should play a role in what phones and service providers you...

    Issue With Local Rowing Club

    Thanks for the update. This whole thread was good for me as a newb to be aware of the myriad 'other' aspects of boating that can and will be encountered. The issue you had has turned into an educational tool as well thanks to everybody who tuned in explaining the pros and cons of accepted...

    Issue With Local Rowing Club

    @tgotch When I get finally get a boat, this area you operate in will be my home port, and most likely one of the two marinas that are near this tributary you mentioned will end up housing my boat. If so, I'm curious if there is any new news concerning the rowers club? Thanks in advance!

    Drones!

    I would always be tempted to get myself in so much trouble with that. But, who needs a ski lift pass if one has a drone capable of lifting that much weight?

    Looking for odd ball washer

    Rubber Grommet washer, looks like the same used on some cars. Autozone (or equivalent) may have something, especially if you can bring in the old washer. May even find them in the loose screw/nut drawers at Home Depot or Lowes I found this on ebay as well Should be able to reuse the metal...

    Hi from Pensacola

    Welcome. Sorry about the sour turn on what seems to be a dream deal. How much do you have to pull off to get started on repair/replace? BTW, I'm very new to this boating lifestyle and am one of those who know nothing :) But, hopefully I'll learn from those like you who have to do the work...

    Meridian 48

    Nice, something so simple.... @OP That boat looks nice, I was thinking that it looked lived in but appears maintained. Then I glanced back at the top and saw that it is a 1974. Mental ranking went up a bit then. Wish I could tell you something based on personal experience, though; but I...

    Faded rub rails - acetone?

    Carworx Refinish Restorer I drive a Chevy Avalanche; the truck with all the plastic panels. They all faded, but not to the same shade so it really looked bad. I've tried a lot other refinishers and even paints and they did not work too well. I belong to a forum for the truck and was...
