I have a symbol 557 so this one really caught my eye. I went down to the boat and checked out my setup.I have a 1/2 inch backer plate the full extent of the bow roller. I use a bridle every time I anchor to keep stress of the pulpit. my boat is an 1998 and the deck plate, backer plate to...

i have 2 horizontal aluminum tanks with a gas switch. I think they are 2.5 punders. I can send a pic if you like. they probably need the 'new' valves. but they do work.

your insurance company thanks you. Good Job !

Count me in Please. Fog is never far away and the crab pots are unending.

Walk away. If you sacrifice the 10% so be it.. YOUR MONEY WAY AHEAD. The surveyor can verify your problems/issues/concerns. Unless the info it is all a hoax... I would claim my deposit, pay the surveyor and thank the big guy for the warning. Buying the boat is only half the coast of...

Take a look at Quartermaster marina or Quartermaster Yacht club. They take liveaboards and you can shop there at mid sound. Vashon Island is close to Tacoma, Gig Harbor, Des Moinse and quite a few others. In any case you will find it pricey, but a number of deals are to be had, you just need...

Welcome Aboard You live in the best cruising grounds on the planet.

Fluke 302..good / fast / cheap take any 2.

Price Histories When I was negotiating the purchase of my current boat I had to have a boat survey. The surveyor had access to a subscription database that he could look at prior pricing and enhancements to the vessel. My boat had a lot of new equipment but was installed haphazardly. I found...

Take a look at a Symbol 557. I have one and it is very comfortable. After 5 years its does very well here in the PNW. Pacific Northwest. Not too many on the west coast but quite a few more on the east coast. I bought mine for less than your 'buy budget'. Bear in mind that I have put 20%...

How did you build your gfci cord so you could test ? great reply on your behalf. I have been struggling with this as more marinas get 'upgradded. in any case I would like to put one together and go through my circuits one by one. Thank you for the light at the end of the proverbial tunnel.

Congrats big time your bank account will never be the same !!!!!

I sold my Nordic tug through Fairhaven yacht sales and purchased another due to sales tax credits. Send me your email or phone number and I can discuss at length the issues I came across. Good info from a former client of theirs.

Clean her as best you can. Make sure it smells good as well. Don't take it personally when your offered 1/2 of what you thought you would get. Now is a good time to sell so make haste, clean, detail inside and geeterdun

I moved from a Nordic Tug single screw to my current boat which has twin Cummins. In our trip to Alaska with the Nordic Tug we did have one engine failure that almost capsized us. Good Luck and some skill saved the day and the fastest filter change the Tug ever saw. Twins are nice to keep...

A good idea before you buy is to have an engine oil analysis, make sure he did not just change the oil or it would be a waste of money. I have had 3 boats and it seems like it takes 2 years to know it well, understand the 5 major systems, Motors, water, potty, tankage, electronics...

Get well soon ! One thing I do to prevent water termination of my cell phone ( I have lost 3) is to put my phone into a zip lock bag when I am going to a launch ramp regardless of tide level. Leave a little air in the bag as you put it in your jacket pocket. There will be a time it finds its...

i have a bronze wheel for the diegrinder. Got mine at Grainger.

I use a light die grinder and keep it in hydraulic oil. Rinse it out and cover with oil. I have 4 years on the die grinder. In the PNW i go to Desolation Sound where the water is quite warm and take about 2 days to get it done. I do get tired. I have a Hookah setup with 2 air outlets, one...

I kept it out of my house bank as I wanted to keep it from depleting. I have a special forces solar panel I bought from sportsmans guide 40 watt but flexible, tied that to an interstate 12v ATV battery about 5 x 4 x 8 inches and powered my fridge freeze that way. link is Medical Refrigerator &...

I use a 40qt Fridge Freeze with a solar panel and dedicated 12v ATV battery. I have the lower 2/3 as freezer and upper 1/3 as fridge. Fridge Freeze made in San Diego, CA. Worked very well on my trip from Seattle to Alaska over a 3 month period.

yamaha 2 stroke I am 99% sure you have the weights reversed. In any case I like the yamaha and you should be able to negotiate a little better price, say 1800 max. Good luck on the loop.
