    Dinghy - get what you pay for?

    I have the same inflatable by Bestway except it was sold under the "Tobin Sports" brand name and has a slightly different color scheme. Figured with Costco's return policy it was worth a shot. Anything comparable from known brands costs 2-3X as much, and there are plenty of reports of quality...

    Furuno wireless radar

    I assume we’re talking about the Furuno DRS4W. I don’t have one but have strongly considered it. It has been on the market since 2014 so I’m not sure what the future support lifespan is for an 8 year old marine electronic device. It is analog rather than digital solid state so it’s kind of an...

    LiFePO4 (LFP) battery poll

    The thread title might be skewing the results somewhat as someone who genuinely had no interest in LFP may not bother to open the thread whereas if it had been titled simply "Battery Poll" it might have attracted a different slice of the userbase. Also, I'd suggest there are a couple steps of...

    Battery Powered Flare

    I have one. It's powered by standard C-cell batteries. I still keep traditional flares aboard. For me it's mainly a compliance device - presumably if I'm boarded it checks the box for having a USCG approved signaling device without having to worry my flares are a few days past expiration. I...

    $24 pump out? What?

    St. Michaels suffers (or benefits, depending how you look at it) from being one of the top transient destinations on the bay yet having a very small harbor with not many boat slips, no public moorings, and room for only a handful of boats to anchor. The operators of the two marinas on the south...

    Balmar SG200 SOC Meter

    I bought one of these plus the bluetooth module earlier this spring and haven't installed it. Between reading this thread and others about this device, I'm questioning whether I ever want to. I initially thought it might be more user friendly than my existing Victron BMV-600S, but it seems I'd...

    Trawler Charter Reommendation?

    Oxford Yacht Agency charters a pair of Grand Banks 42 classics out of Oxford, MD on the Chesapeake. I have no affiliation with them other than having stayed several times as a transient in their marina.

    Hello!

    We took a slip overnight recently at a marina whose broker is a dealer for new and used Grand Banks. We were drooling.

    Hello!

    Thanks all for the welcome words and thoughts! For those who've made the sail to power switch or are in the process of doing so, I'm curious what pushed you over the edge? I think for us the major factor is the realization that if we're going to be motoring 75% of the time anyway, we might as...

    Hello!

    I currently own a 40 foot sailboat but am considering jumping ship to power in the 5-10 year time horizon. My immediate interest in joining up was to post a classified ad but I've been a long time lurker and have enjoyed reading many of the posts here and learning. One thing about sailboats is...

    For Sale: Caribe C10 RIB and 15 HP Outboard - Baltimore

    A change of plans has prompted us to put our RIB dinghy and motor up for sale. It’s a great workhorse dinghy package and is ideal for a cruiser heading south this fall. We’ll also consider selling boat and motor separately. For local pickup in Baltimore only. Motor: Virtually new Nissan...
