    I bought a set off Etsy. Looked good quality but the blue was more Royal than Navy. So didn’t end up using them. Found a very good domed reproduction here in Australia. Discontinueddecals.com.au. About US$190.

    I tow mine with a Land Rover Discovery 3. 2.7L V6 Turbo Diesel Full time 4wd. 7000lb towing capacity with no issues. On the highway I'm having to watch I don't go too fast. I think you will be fine.

    Insurance Recommendation Needed

    Boat sales have taken off during Covid. Maybe there has been a large increase in claims due to lots of people buying their first boat.

    Higher Fuel Prices

    We are paying the equivalent of USD$5.50/gal here in my area of Australia and my 92 gal tank is basically empty. Filling it is going to hurt, and here I am considering putting in a 56gal aux tank.

    Gave it a good clean with acetone. Then I used Gyeon Q2R Gelcoat Ceramic Coat. Just wipe on, let sit for a minute or so and wipe off. Used on all the gelcoat as well.

    22.8 Seafarer gill plate fills with rainwater.

    Would replace the access plate. If not that, fill the pod with water and look for leaks.

    Good things that boaters have done for each other?

    Out chasing black marlin and came across a boat with a double hook-up. One fish heading off the stern the other off the bow. They called us over. They were running out of line on both fish. We transferred one angler onto our boat. Ended up tagging both fish.

    It’s the little things hat make the difference. New decals. Replacing the mouldy caulking. Replacing plastic cup holders with stainless steel etc. They were the scuppers when I bought it. It is dry stored so I removed the bottom paint and gave them a polish.

    Where 228’s Come From.

    That’s the law. As to why, maybe the authorities in the US have better eyesight than our guys.
