      I've gone through several dinghies. Current one is a Highfield 340UL hypalon with a Tohatsu 20 hp, and it works well for me. The total...

      Jeff F replied to the thread Selling our boat questions.

      I went through Don't Rock Passage a few months ago in my 4' draft boat rather than out around Whale Cay. Had 6-7' of water all the way...

      Jeff F replied to the thread Deal before survey?.
      Good list. As always I think to a certain extent it depends on the size of the boat and the deal. I've bought and sold lots of boats...

      Jeff F replied to the thread The Case for Going Slow.
