I am needing to replace my salon windows due to corroded aluminum frames. I am aware of broadus rose and like the fiberglass because they won't require periodic painting and won't corrode. The wait for broadus is long and one forum member had an extra long wait and trouble contacting...

Ultimately heading to the Exumas but am leaving Ft Lauderdale Sunday (weather permitting) and hoping to make Chubb. Boat cruises around 22 knots. Is there anything I need to know about getting on to the bank at Moselle or Hens & Chickens. Need a little local knowledge to figure out if one way...

Boat is in Ft Lauderdale and the yard wants 4000 to compound and wax a 54 footer (MY). I try to stay on mine and it is waxed back in the fall. This seems high. Is Ft. Lauderdale typically more expensive? I will go home and comb thru past invoices and see what I have been paying but wanted to...

Contemplating buying a new dinghy. Mothership is currently in ft lauderdale. Have been to lifeline inflatables showroom and someone recommended them. Tendercare boats sells the same brand but don't know anything about them. Am interested in ab inflatables but will consider others. Would like...

In the Bahamas and my garmin 4212 will not stay on. The screen will light up and then trip the breaker. It will even trip the breaker when it is off. I swapped breakers and it tripped the different breaker. I have a backup chart plotter so it's not critical but would be nice to have the...

Will be in stuart for awhile and most likely will need an AC system replaced. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks.

I know some of you like whalers so I thought I would post some pictures of my 1991 whaler 16 SL. It was not a popular whaler but I like a dual console and the 2 swivel seats. I bought it about a year ago and had hinckley of savannah paint it. I am very pleased with their work. They have a GM...

My wife and daughters will be staying on the boat without me for the month of June and I would like to be able to hook up the water hose to the boat so that they won't have to fool around with filling the tank. But I am not comfortable with leaving the water hose hooked up because of the...

I would like to go to Hawks Key in June and read on this forum that if you draw 5 feet or more this channel can be a problem. I draw 5 feet, if I time the tides will I clear with ease or is best to stay away? Is it coral/rock or a sandy bottom? Also I am going to Key Largo can I get in that...

I am starting to plan my summer 2 week family cruise and am contemplating the keys. Other than Bahia Honda do the Keys have many beaches accesible by a 13 foot dinghy where one can turn dogs loose and not bother others? We just spent a week in SW FL on the boat and it seemed that every beach...

I have a 1995 54 Viking and I am having the existing bottom paint stripped down to the gel coat. One yard says 4 coats of barrier coat (interlux interprotect) the other yard says 3 coats. Do any of you have thoughts on this? Thanks in advance for your response.

I am thinking of taking my boat down to Ft Myers over Thanksgiving and would like the bottom painted. It would be nice to have that done at the same place I leave the boat. At christmas I will be back to use the boat and maybe leave it somewhere else. Is Owl Creek a reputable place? thanks...
