    Short Cruises Out of Galveston Bay

    Sounds like we will be making a trip to Freeport. For me its more about the trip than the destination. Rounding bends and seeing the deer/hogs or a gater sliding off the bank. Does'nt get much better.

    What our boats say about us

    When I purchase my old girl (Sangria Nites) I had no idea as to what I wanted. I looked at Grand Banks and fell in love with the nostalgia of the teak and old world feel. It was my plan to spend around 150k and buy in the 40’+ range. I looked on line and went to see several and while I was a...

    Short Cruises Out of Galveston Bay

    Thanks Bob…. we dock at GYB and have been wanting to head over to Moody so the boys can spend the weekend there and watch the fireworks at night. What about places in the intercostals that would be a nice cruise? Thought about heading down to Corpus but that’s a long day each way

    Fuel smell

    When I purchased Sangria Nites she also smelled of diesel which was a real concern. Upon the survey I was told there were no fuel leaks and what I was smelling was “old boat smell”. The previous owned would open the doors and spray lot of Odo Band to take away the smell but I beat him to the...

    Rusty Rudder Posts and Lazerrete..

    Great Job on the rudder posts and the lazerrete. The new coat of white also makes a world of difference. I bought an old girl a couple years back and found numerous place like the port engine where rust had not been contained. CRC (and many others) makes a great rust converter that actually...
