is it rectangular, or round?

i have been budgeting 6k for my 27 cc, so i think i am pretty close. i hope to get a few more years because the boat lives under a cover all summer and inside all winter

that looks awesome. sea deck is somewhere in my 3 year plan and this just became my first choice for color/pattern. that wood grain is really nice do you mind sharing who did it and the cost?

why dont you want to ground to the battery?

good to know, thanks guys

quick side question.... if you happened to somehow leave all your fobs at home or just didnt have them on the boat for whatever reason, is there a way to override the system for the entire trip.

over the weekend, i got the tank for the final time. i first installed the aluminum banding. banding was screwed to the stringer on each side of the tank (4 pieces total, front and back on both sides). i pre-drilled the holes and filled with resin before running the screws in. i also caulked...

damn, if i lived out there and needed it done, id get the boat shipped to the east coast, get it fixed, ship it back, and still save money. i honestly dont know how you west coast guys deal with being out there.

thanks. i kind of wish that there were mor locations in general. it would be nice if they had a service contract with REI or west marine (or some sort of widely spread chain). there is nothing coastal between the northern coast of NJ and mid coast NC. there is baltimore, but who wants to...

how much are the batteries?

why do people compare dryness of dc with curtains up to a cc with no curtains? get curtains on a cc and stay dry. plenty of room for 4 people to stay dry on a cc with curtains

if the issue is after it sat for the off season, my guess would be either condensation or bad gas. it sounds like the tank was not full over the off season. that can allow condensation to collect over heat/cool cycles. do you always fill up at the same station? maybe try somewhere else. do...

going PLB. time to decide which exact one

overall, i do agree with you. i was just stating that an argument can be made when a 4' could be a good choice for a smaller boat. for my boat, a dome like you mentioned is plenty good.

go to a local canvas shop and have them made for you

a smaller boat could have a tower. that could put the radar twice as high off the water. OP has a marlin, that could easily handle a good size tower. it can also be used for tracking weather. storm cells are detectable over very long distances. plus, a 4' open will give better quality /...

looking at buying one of the two. the ACR (depending on model) is about $100 more but has no subscription fee. the garmin has subscription fees but also has messaging ability. the ACR has 24-28 hours of battery life when activated. the InReach has up to 90 hours of battery when 10 minute...

whats the size of the boat have to do with it? the radar is for detecting targets regardless of what size boat its on. the radar should be spec'ed for how the cap plans to use it and what targets he wants to find at what distance

i have never done the ceramic coating, but i know that a good wax will help prevent oxidizing, keep the shine, and make it easier to clean. some people like wax, some like ceramic. from what ive seen they essentially do the same thing. hopefully someone with a bit more detailing knowledge can...

so as most of you know, i have been working on replacing the fuel tank. im also replacing the lines from the tank to the racors. obviously, this new line will have air in it. how do i purge the air from the system, and where does the air come out? sorry if this is a rookie question, havent...
