    Dogs on the water... show us your dog

    Today we lost our youngest child. An incredibly loyal, loving and happy Golden who’s main goal in life was to please everyone. She gave it her all to the very end and died in our arms at home, where she loved to be. A good friend told me a dog is one of God’s greatest creations if they could...

    Flir or Nite Track … experiences ??

    Trying to decide which one to go with. They both have pros and cons. Any members here have experience with either one ? I would like to incorporate night vision capability in conjunction with my new radar (12kw Furuno) for those early morning runs more so then evening. Understanding that the...

    Who do you have your boat insured through?

    Nice to see some loyalty, friend or not. If you have a good agent you can always speak with them regarding rates and availability. In this competitive market many insurers initiate new pools within their company to stay competitive freeing themselves of loss experience in the older ones...

    Who do you have your boat insured through?

    Wow manufacturers defect on a 14 year old boat ... That's amazing ! Was that a coverage (manufacturers defects) that you could add to the policy or was it packaged that way ?

    WTB 2005 300 MARLIN CAMPANION SEAT

    ….Shame I just sold mine a while back. I went the other way. Hated the companion seat and installed a matching Llebroc helm chair. Much roomier on the helm and better visibility for the passenger. To each his own.. good luck in your search

    2003 265 Express

    Nice seat ... the first one looked like a knock off, or copy of Llebroc's Marlin.

    Price check ... slip and storage fees

    That sounds fairly reasonable for those amenities considering you have year round access

    Anyone live in the Baltimore area? Looking at/would love opinions on possibly buying a GW 228 Seafarer.

    From my own personal experience Tri State marine was a pleasure to deal with. I found them to be very honest and did business the old fashion way, no pressure, no BS. They do a pretty thorough inspection on all boats prior to sale as they stated. After purchase we had our local Yamaha guy go...

    Price check ... slip and storage fees

    Price check ... slip and storage fees

    Curious as to the slip and storage fees in different locals. Take in consideration what your Marina may have to offer needs to be factored in. Not to the penny but I'm paying $195 per foot for a 30' slip April thru October = $5850 then $52 per foot for haul out pressure wash block and storage =...

    Gonna tackle a soft spot

    I have a soft spot to the port side of my Bomar cabin hatch on my Marlin. It’s a small area about 12” square I detected when we purchased the boat last fall. I suspect it got there via the hatch cut out not being sealed correctly or possibly from around the hardtop pipe work support that is...

    Bilge smell in Marlin mid/aft berth

    Fabuloso… you can buy it at the Home Depot. I try to keep the bilges dry but throw a shot of the above in forward and aft before heading home after the weekend. Just a splash in the head and sink traps keeps the chicks still digging me. I prefer the lavender

    Looks Like I'm the Newest Member to the Club-Transom Restoration Begins

    From a quality control aspect have the Scientist in the transom design and fabrication department done anything different to remedy this problem other than installing a plastic bang plate on new builds vs the aluminum one ?? What year are we in now ? ( sarcasm ) sorry I couldn’t help myself.

    Sailfish 282 Companion Seat

    Bought a used Marlin last fall that had the companion seat (previous owner had removed the helm seat). I promptly removed it and replaced that companion monstrosity and put a helm seat back in its original spot. I found it to be too low for visibility purposes and It took up too much room etc...

    I Need a Valve Job

    Best wishes to you Doc … that will most likely be an open procedure. And the tissue valve would be my choice also for a multitude of reasons. I had an open procedure in January 2020 after an incidental discovery of an aneurysm at the root of my aorta (boy I was lucky). It was large however the...
