We did have a freezer in our lazarette in the last boat. I found myself annoyed going down in the bilge to get things out of it and therefore did not use much. We did use it for prepared meals ahead of time that we could just reheat. I do think it was efficient down close to the water line...

Thanks everyone for your great thoughts. I am thinking we will replace with a newer unit. I am wondering about adding the insulation to a modern fridge. I am also thinking about a separate pop and wine fridge. I like the idea of opening the main fridge less. We like to provision and cook...

I have read the forums and am still confused as to the right direction to go. Have had several boats most with inadequate refrigeration. In our new project boat we have a full size ac refrigerator. We were excited about having the capacity. Of course it dies 2 weeks into owning it. We have...

Hey was passing through La Conner today relocating our boat to Anacortes. I snapped this picture!

We have a full enclosure on our boat to the aft cockpit made from canvas and plastic. I sewed a complete replacement in phifertex. During the summer, I removed the canvas and glass and added the phifertex. I used the 70%. If I was to do it again, I would sew the phifertex to the same panel...

She is a beautiful boat! Congrats:).

I want to do some design rendering for the interior and exterior of our boat. Trying to sell the admiral on some ideas. What software have others successfully used for this purpose?

Do it! Life is too short:).

Welcome aboard! Any pictures?

What about keeping it on the hard in Anacortes until a slip at Cap Santa opens up? Everett is the largest marina in the west coast. They might have a spot. Good luck!

Proof that there is always a solution! Go for it:)

We have towed our 16’ inflatable all over the Puget Sound. Everything works well at 9 knots. As the the speed increases we have had more issues. There were a lot of times when the dinghy hit the boat. A hard aluminum boat will hit the boat occasionally just by the nature of docking, locks...

Welcome aboard! We keep our boat in Everett as well!

Thanks all. Will be on the boat Saturday and will give your suggestions a try. Thanks

We have a new to us 2001 Maxum 3500 SCR with external bow and stern thrusters commonly called “weed catchers.” They worked fine but have stopped working. I have found breakers on the control box but they are reset and look fine. Since it is both bow and stern it implies to me a breaker but...

Make sure also that it is an "agreed value" policy! Have you had a similar boat before? Boat US was ridiculously high when we stepped up to our 45'. Good luck! A broker that knows what the product is and the right company will help!

What does the coast guard sticker say for capacity?

The answer is absolutely! But I did spend Seafair week on the lake. If you are a curmudgeon you probably aren't traveling with a flotilla of 15 anyways. Have a great trip!

I run our Europa 60/40 up on the fly bridge. 99% of the docking from there. I do not like the starboard orientation of the helm while docking. I was at the boat show last weekend and found my dream boat the 65' Fleming. This boat has a salon that is not choppy and a pilothouse comfortable...

That looks really good! Inspiring:)

That is awesome! How do you get it in and out of the water?

Refugio-we stayed at the meydenbauer recip for a couple of days around Seafair. What a great spot! We have stayed in poulsbo many times but I always prefer to anchor and watch the dogfish show at night:)

What is best way to troubleshoot tach? My starboard tach died this summer on my trip.

TDunn, I think most of what should be said has been said. I would not be afraid of the weather in October at all here. October can shape up to be some of our driest weather. Yes, there will be the rain possibility and wind is also possible. However, I think you will enjoy it! We are in the...
