    Hull paint

    I just got some fiberglass work done 3 weeks ago. They used awlgrip. It came out beautifully!!! The quote to do hull paint was about 500.00 a foot using awlgrip. Topside was about 1000.00 a foot. Did I tell you the awlgrip looks amazing!! Good luck

    Definition of trawler?

    Yup got sucked in again. Been trying to figure out what my KK Manatee is for 3 years now?? Lol! I call her a trawler cause I’m constantly throwing over a net to fetch something out of the water!!

    Definition of trawler?

    Gentlemen, that was the most intriguing and insightful discussion on what is or is not. Useful, well I don’t know?? The important part is 2020 is almost over and hopefully 2021 will allow whatever you have to cruise. Happy New Year’s Eve!!

    Manatee steadying sail info

    That’s what the canvas guy here told me too. I just got a rough estimate of 700.00 for. 5’ tall by 8’ long and he wants to install a track up the 5’ Of mast. I was looking to slow the rolling a bit while cruising. Thanks Tom

    Manatee steadying sail info

    Thanks to all. If the price is right I might do it just because I have all the tackle for it. I’m not going to spend too much more time on it. Thanks again!!

    Manatee steadying sail info

    I’m looking to see if a steadying sail is worth the effort. If so does anyone know where to get one or at least the recommended size? Thanks

    Installing a new generator

    I got a similar price of around 10K for a 5kw machine a few years ago for my 30' Cruisers. My boat was all set up for one just never installed when built. I just got a rough number at a boat show to replace my 5KW Westerbeke with a newer similar model and they said around 12 to 15K. If you...

    Replace bimini cost

    Enclosure I replaced my complete Enclosure and got estimates from 7K to 13K. They all were using the same material except the Tenara thread. Use that thread it last a long time. Smiley faces w/o screens were in the 3 to 6 hundred range a piece. The isinglass comes in different weights and...

    Fixing a leaking 70's era Capilano 250V Helm steering station

    Wow nice job on the rebuild!! I just rebuilt my cylinder and need to bleed it. Any suggestions?? I found what looks like a fill fitting directly on top. Also one on the front of the unit that I really can’t get to. Let me know if you figured out how to fill it. Thanks, Tom.

    ROV's

    Thanks all! The visibility was my main concern and thanks Archie for the camera pole combo not a bad idea. If I do get one I will keep in mind tangle situations, and yea that’s ironic. I have seen a iTunes video of a flying drone that can go underwater. Based on what I saw it is not worth it. I...

    Definition of trawler?

    A description vice a definition. When your on your way home, hauling butt, after a few weeks out, still using the same fuel you started with, granddaughter asleep in the pilot house and you find out the blip on the radar that has been catching up to you is actually a sailboat out for a...

    ROV's

    Does anyone have experience with underwater ROV's. I was thinking about one and have little information on them. Thought they would be helpful with surveying the bottom of the hull, not to mention anything else. Just curious.

    USCG Vessel Documentation

    It took over a year for us. We were #2 in the cue for over a half year. I kept a complete copy of all the paperwork on board just in case. I hear the staff numbers are diminished??
