I’m in Florida. Check your states registration process and this is why. I own a 1986. If your boat is 30 years or older, with the original engine, you may be able to register it historic. It costs me $6.95 a year for registration. My zodiac costs more to register! Check it out!!

First let me say my headliner in my forward cabin is in good shape. No sagging of any sort. It just needs some freshening up. It is vinyl with the tiny holes. I have tried all kinds of cleaners on it with no success. Has anyone put a light coat on their headliner with acrylic paint? I hate to...

Is there a better alternative to eisenglass?

My greatest fear is a marina fire and today it was close to becoming a reality. Yesterday I boarded my boat with Max, my 9lb. Maltese. I’m determined to get a few nuisance projects done so I planned on staying onboard for a few days. For months I have complained about a an older large boat on...

I’ve been busy installing new windows and making exterior window covers. Wow what a difference it has made on the air conditioners not to mention the aesthetics. It has been super hot here in Florida and now my air conditioners actually shut off during the day! I’m very pleased! Bimini...

While looking at a new boat to me, it did not have stabilizers. Something I wanted. The owner said maintenance on them has to be done every 5 years at a cost of 30 grand. True or false? 48ft.

As some of you know, I pulled 3 windows out and ordered them from Daytona glass. I still do not have the new glass. I really didn’t think this was rocket science. So, I could really use your help in finding someone to just do them. I’m sick and tired of screwing around. I cannot use the boat...

In another window thread, I saw prices for window replacement. Now I have 9 windows I’m replacing ONLY the glass. I took them out with a boat buddy and plan on reinstalling them with my boat buddy. Replacing all the fuzzy stuff, yes getting technical now, lol. This is actually an easy job. So...

Since it seems to be taking forever to have new glass cut for my windows, I’m taking on a dual project. I desperately want lighting under my swim platform. I can handle the topside lighting and wiring myself. What kind of lighting would you suggest for the swim platform. Preferably one I can...

Hello trawler peeps! I’m finally back after a long hiatus. Life got in the way. I see some things have changed. What happened to the avatars?

Due to a death in the family, I left my boat unattended for 2 1/2 weeks. A week before I changed the water pump for my forward air conditioner. I left it in dehumidifer mode. The aft air conditioner was left running normally. I came back to find an E-4 error on my forward air. My aft air is fine...
