That's a great location! How comfortable to go offshore in the Gulfstream? Block Island? East End of Long Island? Nantucket? Curious because it's not too far but you hear how dicey the changing conditions can be -- head out calm in the morning and then could be whipped up by the afternoon...

To me this is a giant red flag that would lead me to distrust the dealer. I can understand - maybe - not wanting to share copies of maintenance records to every person who inquires. But you not only have made an offer but also have put down a deposit. I can't think of anything justifying not...

You'll be happy with your decision. Pics when it arrives!

Ground loop interference? Bad cables? Too many gummies?

I'm essentially retired, so in my first PNW winter I'm hoping conditions will allow me to take the boat out at least weekly. If that turns out not to be the case, then I may have to find dry stack somewhere. Appreciate the tips so far.

I'll be asking the dealer but I'd appreciate advice here. I plan to leave the Gulfstream in the water year round, and I don't know what the Puget Sound weather will be like from now until March or so. The bottom is painted and I hope to keep the tank pretty full, with ethanol-free gas. I...

Nice catch. September was extra great and then it seemed to drop back off pretty quick. Looking forward to next year.

Hi to Michael / Skookum. Maybe on the return we can figure out a route past Port Townsend and dock at John Wayne's.

To F&F on Camano and Mustang65 on South Whidbey, As some on this forum know, I'm new to the PNW -- moved here for retirement around the end of July. Have just 70 hours on the Gulfstream. I haven't ventured too far yet -- mostly traversing Puget Sound between Bainbridge Island and Seattle up...
