Interesting... Years ago I had a customer with a huge 55' with twins. One of the engines was non-functional (387 big blocks) and the other work ok. I was hired to move the boat from the bay to the delta (70 miles) I removed the unused propeller, check the good engine all the way, we move 6/7...

I'm going to the bone, I want blood... There are 7 dead sailors, a very expensive ship almost destroy it and (pardon my french) somebody is gonna freaking pay for that. We (people who pay tax every april) pay an horrible amount of money to have this boats all around the world, keeping peace (the...

..After I saw the AIS erratic course of the merchant, the frigate captain have a very little chance not finish flipping hamburger in McDonald on 6 month...

Millions and millions on superduper sophisticated scanner radar to end T boned for a gigantic merchant.. I want to laugh...

...another good thing about using a small fast one is you can use to explore Alaska, inside passage and then move to start the big loop through Erie Lake or Mayor. More I think, more sense have to me cut "dead time" on long passage. Safety is another consideration. And a small right boat is less...

I'm administrator of a huge estate from a relative. She passed away 3 years ago, without nothing than a trust. Took all my time and effort work slowly my path trough surrogate NY court. Add at that 2 open case against previous guardian and believe me, it's a little nightmare... Estate is huge...

..I think a good semi rigid boat could do it... The inflatable part could be enough to hold the boat inside container.. It's a good exercise... We went all the way up to Skagway and pass command to another captain on Vancouver.. Maybe I was boring of the first 3 days until Nanaimo... But I...

..yes, a folded trimaran or use the big 53' or the new 60' container... a pilot boat maybe?? a 30' Osprey is a very good option...

..A 40' container cost around $2500 SF/Seattle, then from there, on less than 300 miles I have thousand of places to go. I need to crunch numbers but maybe for next year... On Alaska, using the interior passage, a fast boat with minimal accommodation for an eventual off shore night anchored I...

Around $8K at the end...

Back from 14 days cruising time around Alaska. We use a 68' custom design (trawler type) from San Francisco to Juneau with stops at Ketchikan, Sitka, Nanaimo, Prince Rupert and few others around. While I appreciate the comfort and security of a huge boat, we found few places where approach was...

Liveaboard exist for a reason: additional "free" security to the marina when nobody is around. On my marina we pay electricity by meter and a substantial amount of money for the "liveaboard" status. So every time you cross path with a liveaboard fellow on your marina salute nicely.. that could...

So.. the cruiser cannot move out the fishing boat path?? I mean... it's a forbidden action avoid collision at sea even if is a military ship? Seems to me collision can be avoided but nobody (the fishing captain boat or the cruiser want to avoid it) ..was a collision of egos...

i cannot afford a Tesla, during the years, I build a couple electric cars just for the fun... Tesla is an impressive piece of technology... impossible tried to mod that thing.. or change any parameter unless you're a certified tesla technician. I suggest every single teen start right now learn...

My 2-almost-3 years child was borned in our boat and normally sail and travel with us. The most logical precaution is keep he busy and under constant supervision. Below 3 years child does not have the capability to hold their head up, I do not suggest any floating device for a child under 3...

I'm afraid of bring a new yamaha at my boat.. Still searching for "the" perfect tenor sax.. yamaha is high on the list but I'm afraid because I have so many yamahas on board (water sky, outboard, a bike..) They're famous for been prolific (from tenor jump to a flute, then a trumpet...) ..I...

I back to play tenor sax after.. uff more than 25 years.. Just curious.. any other musician around?? Nothing better than practice in a boat... nobody close to bother with endless scales... ;) :thumb::thumb::thumb:

Hum.. I should be the exception.. I bought all my boats with a handshake with the owner, a small amount of money over the table and a coffee... No broker, no long, extensive survey, just "tell me boat's history" over a nice dinner or bbq.. I perform my own inspection, a short sea trial if I feel...

..my solution for the last 35 years... :D:D:D:D

Australia, New Zealand, Nicaragua or Colombia (in that order) are on my list for possible relocation...

Your best friend on this type of case are bleach and patience.. a lot of patience...

Interesting... thanks you for share.. On my marina we have 6 pile on need of replacement.. we ask for metal sleeves or replacement and nothing come below 5K... I gonna investigate a little more about this system...

i would suggest take at look at Hatteras.. very comfortable boats!

We share ownership over a Swift 50 with IPS... Our experience was not good... Replace drive seals was really a pain in the lower area and expensive.. After find same trouble a couple time on same year, we drop the boat for a more conventional system with shaft. I would love to tried zeus pod but...

Unless you're a serious buyer, I don't think it's a good idea to meet with a broker who need to travel such a distance to meet with you.. it's common sense.. When you narrow your searching and be ready to pull the trigger, I think it's a better moment to drive that distance to see a boat. If...
