It wasn't bigger/nicer enough than the 48 that we currently have to justify the extra cost and it needed some work... we already have a 60' slip so that part would have been easy and bigger is usually better though:-) If we had a bigger family or something we might have gone for it though...

That's mine!

Did you get it from Rockport TX? I went to look at one there a while back

I've got the 3 cabin version of that boat!

I was struggling with cooling issues and got a cheap FLIR camera. It showed me a couple of areas I could insulate better

https://www.vexilar.com/pages/navionics I have the SP 200 T-box installed on the inside of the hull, as long as you don't have a cored hull this will work... or if you have outboards you can transom mount it. I wanted mine to be near the front of the boat either way.

Just my opinion here... the most accurate navigation equipment I've used if navionics on a phone/tablet. The device must have GPS or you need an external gps such as the bad elf. You can also get a wifi depth sounder that works flawlessly with it. The only complaint I have about that setup is my...

Ahh yes I see now. Were you worried about the weioof those affecting the ride? And how many watts are those?

Just got a quote from them for $2500, so same price as canvas. The poly carbonate panels look a little cheesy though. I'm sure it'll last longer than fabric for the same price but I'm not sold on the square look.

Love that boat! I almost bought a marine trader 50' in that style. Do you have any pictures with the panels on?

That looks cool, definitely could put flexible solar on it..

Here is a quick picture for reference...

Sooo my bimini finally let go, I took it down and got a quote for a new one: $2500 for Stamoid 80" marine vinyl*132" long and 141" wide. It has an arch at the back and 3 SS support (bows?) Question 1: is that a good deal (key west) Long term I want to do a solar bimini and I'm trying to...

I'm cruising my new (to me) boat home and having a blast. Highly recommend.

There was a DeFever 44 I loved the layout of and would have bought at Watergate last year if it had 2 more inches of headroom

Because boats are so much more fun than airplanes when the engines are off.

That's encouraging... I'm gunna stick with my current gig for this cruising season, the schedule is too awesome and I'm about to upgrade... but come may I'll be back in clear lake looking to move on again!

Between making friends with as many locals/fellow livaboards as possible, and a half a dozen wificans, and a big anchor I don't think it's that bad unless a hurricane comes.

I've been living aboard with your similar schedule for 3 years now, and have been on the move and cruising/at anchor since September (left right after Dorian, made it to KW for fantasy fest and haven't left). I have a GPS tracker, wifi, and multiple webcams on my boat including one looking at...

I've had both of these. The LED one is much better. Batteries are never an issue because it uses the same batteries all of my power tools AND it'll plug directly into the cigarette lighter plug . Also the new lithium ryobi batteries have built in charge indicators. https://youtu.be/NTMoQXGdfnE

Cardi B has been my weapon of choice, vulgar and obnoxious.

I lived on a 37 double cabin trawler for a few year on clear lake. I'm in key west on my next boat now :-) I know a few who live in both Galveston marinas. And looked at many boats for sale between Galveston and clear lake. There are a few broker piers at south shore and Watergate, I'd...

As others have said Lorelei's in Islamorada is awesome by boat OR by car. Live music every sunset, a nice dinghy dock, a great anchorage, and it's walking distance to a west marine and many other bars and restaurants. I also enjoyed Gilbert's by boat they have a very convenient fuel dock, a...

Yeah I didn't even imagine there would be a rule against it or I wouldn't have told them what my plans were. I surely could have gotten away with it for 2 weeks.

You should stick to the flybridge, it's like a large outdoor covered living area. On both boats I've spent time there even when not underway. The view and visibility are all much better up top. If you're ever going to be single handedly cruising you'll probably enjoy having the lower helm and...
