I spent money on boat trader and got several hits. C-Brat for sale by owner was the source for both my purchase and subsequent sale. During the time on Boattrader I was contacted by POP Yachts. They offer to sell without cost to the owner and will post to all the site again at no cost. They...

After advertising Seaweed for sale and now she is in the good hands of Dr. Bob, my ad continued to attract attention of folks who just wanted to ask questions about the 25. I always referred them to this site, however I was contacted by a man in Newport News, VA who really wanted to step aboard...

Glad to see you made it home safely. It will be fun following your travels in our 'first'. You were wonderful guests, a pleasure to host you and I would like to reiterate an always on welcome light to anyone traveling the ICW and wants to take a turn up the Pamlico River. We have a great...

Ok Brats I need your collective sage advice as always. When I researched pricing for selling Seaweed I found only several listings to guide me. '96 for 49,500 '06 for 49,500 '07 for 75,000 however I didn't catch that he listed it here for 67,500. It has been sold but have no method of...

I've got to say goodbye to Seaweed. It been short but fun and because of you fine folks very educational. 2007 25. Honda BF150, 295 hrs Tons of mods, accessories and other customized features. Easier to create a brochure and have you look at her there. Since it is too big, Please check out...

that was my first mod. With the wife heading to the bow to handling lines, there's that short gap with nothing good to hang on to. Easiest mod, on the eyebrow, easy access for nuts and lock washers, silicone the hole and good to go. http://www.defender.com/product.jsp?pat ... id=3692018

Hi Apologize ahead of time for the length. Electrical stuff is still a mystery to me. Discovered on a shakedown cruise that my house batteries were not charging. The setup is this: Two house batteries in parallel and a separate starter battery. Bluesea Switch and ACR. The ACR remained a...

Though not stated in the print article, the tv news said the users, when gassing up put the gas in a rod holder instead of the fuel tank. The boat exploded when the dock attendant instructed them to disconnect the batteries and a spark when doing so ignited the gas fumes. No one killed, but...

Wow, Water does know how to travel. Will check out that possibility today

Thanks, Mine is like Dr. Bob's friend, sump in the step with a cutout forward to allow water to enter the cabin. Haven't spent any stormy days on the boat to hard to determine penetration from other areas but will do some inspections regardless to see what we see. Paul

this was a first for me. Came aboard and had about a quart of water in the cabin under the dri deck flooring. Had torrential rain the day before and did not have my cockpit cover on. My question is: Can water flow from the bilge area of the cockpit under the head/shower flooring to the bilge...

Hi You might want to check out my photo album. Seaweed. I don't know how to provide a direct link. The Prev Owner did me right with his hard work on V berth storage. shows how he provided support for the covers. He also did mounting hooks for storage and led lights to find your way. Its a...

First time for me changing lower gear oil. Pretty straightforward. Bought WM gear oil pump and it claims the metal fitting works with Honda 70 +, should be all set, right, not. fitting is too large. Does anyone with the same engine know the right sizing for the pump fitting? I assume I can...

Oxidation off, Wax on, not as catchy as the movie version but more accurate and just as tedious
