    Incinolet Toilet??

    I was looking at these toilets and was wondering if anyone here has any practical experience with them. I get from the site that they don't work with inverters, so they require either 110 or 220. But will they work off a Genset? If so, how does it work in the middle of the night if you want...

    RV types, the allure of camping, nice places

    Love the set up, my wife and are are going thru the choices and options now. I am leaning towards a pusher toy hauler, cuz I want to bring a motorcycle or two with me. How did you get your motorcycles around? I like the toy hauler idea, but it does eat up a lot of the space/comfort. And its...

    California 34 Long Range Cruiser

    Well, I have a 1978 version of the 34 LRC. Its my first "large" boat and it seams to handle fine. I come into my dock space and turn it 180 degrees with little room to spare (at least it seems like its little room to spare in my mind). They have twin engines so I just use the engines to...

    What they tell us... for what its worth... is that most crews would often "wash dishes" by throwing them over... not sure if I believe it, but the dishes i kept are in perfect shape, no cracks or anything. not sure why else they would be thrown over... We called it "junk diving" i have lots...

    Is the ocean really dead?

    Or next few decades. When things go over the tipping point it's every fast. Not a gradual decline.

    Is the ocean really dead?

    Things are not near dead here. But we are seeing more and more trash. Idiots who can't manage their trash are a waste of MY useful air!

    What to do with this much room??!!

    I agree. I like empty space. I like that u have more center weight and lower as well! For my boat use, fishing and hinting, I would put in two freezers. But that really fits my use best. Not sure what fits yours best....

    Why Boardings?

    Like I said before, I don't like being boarded. Not out of any legal issue, I just don't like the feeling if someone looking for my error. Boarding a boat is not the same as entering a home. Maybe legally, but the safety search issue is MUCH more applicable on a boat. And they have laws...

    Why Boardings?

    Why Boardings?

    But (in my industry) the companies tried to convince the USCG that we could regulate and 'inspect' ourselves" Kinda like the banks talked the government into easing regulations and standards back in the early 2000s and we all know how that turned out. LOL

    Suggestions for Saloon Seating

    I checked best out for "RV recliners" and they have decent ones for like $300 shipped. Just an idea. I'm SURE they are not the best or nicest. But how many if us can truly afford those??
