Thanks for the input, I'm revising my plan on getting the 6-Pack license. I have a lot more to learn before I start down that path. For now I'm going the focus on the advise I've been given by studying the area's I'm planning of visiting and become familiar with the charts and wind/current...

Checking in to getting my 6-pack captains license and looking for any advise. Programs, on-line schools, etc. I may not ever use it with paying passengers, etc but it will help me be a better/safer captain of my boat.

Thanks for the input, I'll start mapping out some of the area's that are being recommended.

Looking for input on places to see, etc in the Bahamas. We will be taking our first trip there and plan on staying about a month (mid June thru July). We have never been and are looking for advise on making this trip. Places to see, anchorage, what to be careful of etc. Our family consist of...

I am looking for a PC based program that will give details on depths, terrain, etc that is more accurate/detailed than standard navigation software. I thought I read about something that was out to the general public that could be tied to GPS and is very accurate showing depths, terrain, etc as...

Looking for some advise on the best way and most economical way to get internet access while cruising. I've done some basic searching but wanted to get some real world advise. It appears that Starlink may be one of the best options. We're planning on a trip to Bahamas this summer and I will need...

You see that's the feedback I was looking for. Thanks for the POC and I'll be giving Craig a call tomorrow. I have limited experience with trawlers (this is my second one) and no experience with stabilizers. Once again thanks for the input and reference.

I'm having an issue getting someone who knows or is available to preform the work to "re-pack" the stabilizers thru the hull fitting. The boat is located in Wilmington NC and has been out of the water for several years. Looking at splashing the boat in March. If anyone can recommend a mechanic...

Just finished the floors.

Still trying to find out what paint was used on the boat, previous owner passed away a couple years ago. If I can't find out I'll pick a couple areas that are inconspicuousness and do some testing for the wax/ceramic. Almost done with the electrical upgrade including circuit breaker box...

Great Advise, I didn't think about what paint was used on the boat and will see if I can find out. Obviously this will influence the direction I go with choosing the best paint protection. I also have to keep in mind that this is a pretty big project and the ceramics my be out of my budget. The...

Need some advise on what is the best options for wax or ceramic coating. Actually just looking for a recommendation for what is the best bang for the buck so to speak. Cheoy Lee 66LR- advise on what will be the best wax/ceramic to use on the boat. Boats in a warehouse right now and has been in...

I would love to know where this CL is located. If they are parting it out I could use a few factory parts that I can't locate in the pile of stuff taken off of my boat during the retrofit. If not, if anyone knows where I could find parts, in particular I need an air intake vent located on the...

The previous names of the boat are 'Septembers Child" and "Adagio" We will be naming her "Grace". As best I can tell she has been kept in the Wilmington, NC area for the last 20+ years.

Yes, this is the one that had the pilot house enclosed. Smith Creek Shipyard.

I'm going thru and documenting the equipment on board and getting PDF's as best I can. I did a spot check of the electrical and after doing that I decided to take out the existing power distribution systems and update them. I believe in the KISS theory (Keep It Simple Stupid) so the electrical...

New to the forum and this is my second post. I need any information that can be provided on a Cheoy Lee LR MY 66', 1985 model. We just purchased this boat that has been kept in a warehouse for the past 11 years going thru upgrades. It is a long story. Anyway, I purchased the boat last month...

Great information. Here is what I was thinking on the PC side of things. I would use Panasonic Toughbooks- one primary and a backup. I can get these thru my business so that's not a direct expense so to speak. I would run Rose Point's Coastal Explorer for navigation which is what I'm use to. I...

I'm familiar with Rose Point's Coastal Explorer. That's the navigation software I was using on my previous boat and was pleased with how it preformed.

I'm new to the Forum and this is my first post. I'm purchasing a Trawler (duel helm, 66') that was in the middle of restoration. All of the electronics with the exception of engine controls have been removed. I've owned a trawler before and it came with the basics. I'm way over my head here...
