    NE Boat Show

    I met with and talked to a vendor - Carym (Marine fuel delivery, green trucks) that used to work at Skunkworks (yes the super top secrete SR-71 Skunkworks). He had a cool business model, delivers to marinas on the north shore and is looking to get into a "fuel boat" that can be leased out...

    NE Boat Show

    I went too. They always have a nice display and have factory reps. Most of the other “well known” manufacturers don’t from what I have seen. This show was terrible. Barely 2/3’s of the floor and about a month earlier than it has been the past couple of years. Baert Marine sold to Port Harbor...

    Exhaust inspection

    I'd pay the couple hundred $$ to have that done (and did on my current boat) vs. finding out a I have a crap engine...then your up sh*ts creek :) Good luck with whatever you decide to do!

    Fisherman 236 water under center console.

    if you have a hand pump, you could try to syphon our the water in the compartment and run some tests...maybe with a hose to see where the water might be coming in. Does your bilge have standing water in it? Glad its not saltwater...that might be a bigger issue to worry about :)
