    I’m thinking of replacing my plotter w/ an 12.9“ IPad

    Thanks for your thoughts! i was stuck on the idea of bluetoothing the sounder, but ssobol had a great solution with the stand-alone sounder. The only other thing that I would miss is the fuel consumption meter, but I can live without that. If the entire great loop was happily completed...

    I’m thinking of replacing my plotter w/ an 12.9“ IPad

    I like a bunch of apps that are available, and I think that I can get most of the things that my plotter gives me...like Navionics and NOAA’s radar, and view them simultaneously on a big split screen. At $1200 it costs less, with more functionality (on land and sea) The only thing I think I...

    Just a friendly tip If they respond that they know “Frisco”, they’re not from San Francisco

    Standby for heavy rolls

    Yeah, I agree, I think the palm trees gave it away, notwithstanding, it’s something to watch. BTW, I think they were on anchor

    Newbie has a question

    I agree with David. When you add up the costs to get it right, and dependable, you’d spend as much as buying a decent pre-owned

    Wish us luck

    I’d put off the trip if I could, at this point I’d be out $18k. If I could, I’d come out to your neck of the woods, and spend the time with our friends in Whitmore

    Wish us luck

    I think so too, but with the limited availability and length of stay, we’re really limited. Plus I don’t want it out there for every Tom, Dick and Harry to vandalize or steal We moved it when Hurricane Matthew came ashore 5 miles away from us with limited real impact on us at the house, but it...

    Wish us luck

    At this time, we’re ground zero for Hurricane Florence, here in Oak Island NC. Our house is 200 yards from the beach. We are heading to our long anticipated European River Cruise on Wednesday, with the storm expected on Friday. Our boat is on the trailer in front of the house. Like I said, wish...

    Pros & Cons of a Camper Canvas

    My take - It depends on where you live. I have a 25 that I bought with a top of the line camper back. I love having it, but neither me or the prior owner really have used it. It’s like brand new. I live in North Carolina, where I don’t really need the protection. That being said, I love...

    Advice-Replacing trailer bunks

    Thanks Doc, I was hoping you’d have an answer. I’ve done a full wrap slick, instead of carpet. It’s installed with SS screws on the underside. I launch a lot, and I’m trying to make it as easy as possible. Are there any other things to consider about a full bunk slip wrap, other than it’s...

    Advice-Replacing trailer bunks

    I’ve replaced my bunks with new boards and attaching hardware, and plan to load the boats back on tomorrow. Although the height looks spot on, the bunk angle doesn’t seem right. I matched the angle to what I replaced, but it doesn’t look quite right. I’m thinking of slightly loosening the...

    Starbrite hull cleaner for car wheels?

    Just for the heck of it, after scrubbing till my knuckles were bleeding, I sprayed hull cleaner on the grimey aluminum wheels of my car. It was like magic it did so well. So well, in fact, that I’m wondering about the down side of using this routinely. Thoughts and advice appreciated

    Holding tank deodorizer, why didn’t I know this?

    Live aboard - advice on how to pay for it

    Mike, Everything you said is well thought out. I particularly liked this section - “Due to the big hit incurred in reserving a % of a pension to a spouse, it can make more sense to have the vested spouse take 100%, then buy a series of level-term life insurance policies instead: say 1-10 year...
