    Financing vs cash for boat purchase?

    Personal choice. But I will say on one of the Nordhavn recent webinars theree sales people stated that in the last number of years they had only one or two buyers that financed the purchase. One said all cash buyers in the last 10 years!

    Selene Auction

    I am not an expert but if what you guys are referring to as print through is seeing the fiber or checkered look of the fiberglass through the gel coat because it was too thin this is NOT that! This was randomly dispersed most every 4 to 8 inches maybe 8 to 12 inches long. Could almost be...

    I think it would be hard to notice if it were White instead of a dark color!

    As I drove up to the boat I noticed it from about thirty feet away! Of course I was looking for it!

    Selene Auction

    Ok! I when by and had a look. On both the port and starboard side from the lower rub rail to the upper rub rail where the green is (this may be hard to explain sorry) . If you took a big piece of aluminum foil and wrinkled it up about every 6 to 8 inches and then tried to flatten it by pushing...

    Engine is a Yanmar L70 AE has about 190 hours. I tired tapping the solenoid no luck. All the wiring seem to be in good condition! Trying to figure out how to post a pic. Thanks again

    Generator won't start

    Thanks for the replies. Fuel seems good, cranks over no problem, ran just fine about three months ago! When I try to start it just cranks no fire what so ever seems like a fuel problem but I can hear the fuel returning to the tank so I think it must be getting fuel? I'm no mechanic. Any ides...

    Generator won't start

    Hello Im looking for someone around LaConner to have a look at my Mase generator. It has always run just fine but I used it very little, it would just start right up and run. Tried to start it yesterday and it turns over but will not start. It hasn't been ran since December. I would like someone...

    Sliding door removal

    No sorry the exterior door to the cabin. It will not just lift out, I was a finish carpenter for 35 years and have fixed thousands of doors just not my own:banghead:

    Sliding door removal

    I have a 34 CHB and I need to refinish the sliding cabin door. I can see I need to remove the block at the bottom rail, it has a screw to remove. But I cannot figure out how to get the top block removed no screw visible. I tried to tap it out the backside but it won't budge! Thanks

    Gulf Islands

    Thanks again for all the great ideas! We will be getting over there on Sunday so I'm hoping that might help (a little) with the crowds. Probably arrive Ganges on Tuesday. Because all the advise we are thinking about Salt Springs marina, does anyone have any recent experience with the condition...

    Gulf Islands

    If anyone is still reading I have another question? I have never stern tied. From what I think I understand (sounds dangerous):ermm:you drop the anchor out at a 90 degree from shore back up to the shore and secure a line. With a 34 foot boat how far out would I drop the anchor? Do you pull down...

    Gulf Islands

    We are going to make our first trip up to the Gulf Islands. We will have about four or five days to look around. Where would you suggest we spend each night? Maybe two night in a marina and three night on the hook we prefer to not be around big crowds if that's possible! Thanks for any ideas

    Am I getting ripped off AGAIN?

    I just replaced a 27" x 34" tempered glass for $58. When I picked it up he gave we two because one had a small chip on the edge! That price is crazy unless you have a submarine!

    Lehman Leak

    Ok, so it is not from the valve cover. But it is still leaking, after tightening. If I wedge half a diaper between the rear port motor mount and the stringer it will get get pretty much saturated in about 6 hour of running but the rest of the area under the motor stays drip free. Until this...

    Lehman Leak

    Thanks all! I was able to tighten each one about 1/8 to 1/4 turn hopefully this will take care of the problem. My engine is very clean but I just could not find a source for the leak:banghead:

    Lehman Leak

    I'll give it a try as soon as it gets light! I sure hope it's that simple. Thanks

    Lehman Leak

    My 1976 120 Lehman has just started leaking. Just over 5000 hours runs great and has not used or leaked oil in the past. Maybe a half quart between changes. It has a leak on the port side very near the motor mount very close to the starter. I cannot see exactly where it is coming from, hopefully...

    Coast guard

    We were boarded last weekend. All so a sudden they were right next to us, I guess 750Hp will do that! Three nice very nice guys boarded. First question do you have any firearms onboard I said right there in the backpack he said just don't reach in there no problem! Very professional quick look...
