    What to use to make v-berth more comfy

    I just upgraded our v-berth with a Lucid King size 3 inch gel foam mattress topper purchased on Amazon for $90. We have a 282 Sailfish so I pulled the old cushions and used them as a template, traced out the cushions with a sharpie and cut the foam with a six inch, very sharp, boning knife (an...

    Death of a 19' Tournament

    Yes, good news is no one was seriously, seriously, injured. Bad news is no boat for the summer. Although we did get way more money than the boat was worth from his insurance (when you factor in 'loss of use', etc.). The boat is now in the hands of the insurance company's salvage yard. They...

    Death of a 19' Tournament

    Time for a new Grady! No booze found on board. He apologized about 50 times but that doesn't bring my boat back. Yes, the POS Bayliner had a gash about three feet long and at least 15 inches wide. Only three inches above the water line. One young girl riding in the bow of the Bayliner...

    Death of a 19' Tournament

    July 3rd, 2007, 11:36pm. Lying on the couch just starting to doze off... and I hear a 'boom'. Sounds like someone setting off a M80. A 17' 2003 Bayliner with six people aboard hits our moored boat approximately 60 feet off shore. No wait there's more... The kicker... the guy who owns the...
