Well, the test drive of the 283 is in.....and to quote my Admiral, "I love this boat (283) but I want a Marlin 300 instead"........... ;) 8) I'm a little disappointed, but not surprised - and I know many of you are not the least surprised either!

is there boating with out the dog??? ;) not worth it IMO ;) sounds like your puppy is afraid on the deck, so you may need to add some removable carpet - or rubber matts - this way the puppy feels secure. Of course, get him/her used to the boat while still at the dock/mooring. hope...

yep ;) love the north shore ;) my wife and I love wingersheek, and essex bay, and the surrounding areas - I figured this was the answer but its my first boat of this class and this is not a question covered by the navigational saftey course! ;) With a small boat, it is easy moving it as the...

I buying and think my wife and I have decided on a boat - the 28 release - used I have 20+ years on the water and piloted upto 24 feet (my wife's never been on a private craft over 18 feet and that was aluminum :( LOL ) However, I have never even been on a 28 release under way - nor has...

:D the learning curve is steep, but well worth it ;) Thx! so can damaged stringers and bulkheads be identified and repaired? (at least some times?)

structural refurbishing? thanks all - any other options on "structural refurbishing" - what exactly are we talking about on a SeaV2 Hull that can be done to structurally refurbish? or needs to be done? I'm still learning about this hull, but my understanding is it is fiberglass - is...
