Expunge Old Name Oh mighty and great ruler of the seas and oceans, to whom all ships and we who venture upon your vast domain are required to pay homage, implore you in your graciousness to expunge for all time from your records and recollection the name (enter former name) which has ceased to...

Actually I do have two paralleled 90ah hours hoise batteries along with a separate starting battery. I'm not sure if I have the original charger; it currently has a Guest 20 amp duel (5,5,10). Dr. Bob, can you why the Honda 2000 won't be sufficient to charge. This is out of my area of...

Dr. Bob, Don't know how long the prior batteries lasted, I bought her last year, and they were on their last legs. I'm guessing they were originals on my '08. Also they were dual starting/deep cycle. I already bought two Group 27/90ah deep cycle, so so much for the larger ones. We generally...

Sunbeam, thanks a million Your post nailed it! I wasn't even sure what I was looking for; now I know the SOC is exactly what I wanted. SmartGauge is ~$290 on Amazon, a bit pricey, but I'll start value engineering and see where I land. Thanks again, Ferg

I'm in the process of replacing my deep cycle house batteries (total 180ah) and hoping someone in our group could recommend a permanently mounted amp hour meter

Appreciate the replies to my comment, I'm not taking a position, I'm just giving his....but he's a well respected guy. But I do wonder that if they do improve performance, why haven't the manufacturers incorporated that into their designs. Honest, I don't have a dog in this fight, I'm just...

I asked my East Coast C-Dory dealer (Gene/Mobile East Marine) about Permatrim, and he didn't like it on these boats. I've forgotten his reason, but I take his word as gospel. Ferg

Hi Derrick, wish I would have known earlier, I would have bought you a beer. You must have passed a few hundred yards (they're similar to meters, lol) from our house on Oak Island, NC. Have a ball!

Harvey, that looks like a terrific project! You start and I'll be right out....maybe. Seriously, my first boat was wooden. I thought it would be a labor of love, it wasn't.

Sounds like you've given this a lot of thought. I realized that I like working on the boat just as much as I like cruising her. I'm running out of projects

By the way, I chose the Profin because it has a relatively high coefficient of friction

Thank you. Yes, it's teak and holly plywood over 3/4" plywood. It would have been twice as costly to do it in solid (as would have been my preference). I had the teak edging milled at our local hardwood place. I teak oiled it and then applied 4 coats of Profin gloss. The Profin has a VERY...

Just posted a pic of my recently completed flooring on my 25. See pic in recent photos of Here & Now

Teak and holly cabin

Wondering if anyone has sprayed their electrical panel with electrical lacquer

Dr. Bob, You were the intended person for my prior post, and I thank you for your insight. I went to Anchor Hardwoods in Wilmington NC yesterday and they had a 4x10 1/4" sheet of teak/holly ply for $324.00. I haven't purchased it yet, and expect to pick it up next week, but now I'll want to...

I'm looking for opinions about teak/holly plywood vs. true teak and holly strips. I'm aware of the price difference, but wondered about the durability of the plywood. It's marine rated for decks. Thanks, Ferg

Wow Tony, I looked at your pics, you really went to town!
