Speaking of lights. The best light I’ve bought ever is the little Mini Mk II Turbo. It’s about the size of your thumb and works great for a spot when you need it but don’t have your handheld. Plus since it’s so small it’s easy to just always carry in your pocket. It has several programs to...

Good points about the glare. We’ve always been very protective of our night vision and have set up all of our other boats with red lights to run at night. In hindsight I think as sparingly as we’d use a spot, that a handheld one would be sufficient. Plus it would save a few holes in the boat...

It seems to me a great compromise would be a manual mounted light like you see on police cars. It would mount on the roof and the handle would be just above your head so you could point it where you want. Anyone know where you could get something like that? Edit:Something like this...

You know we had planned to buy a cooler and then maybe a portable ice maker but you guys about have me talked into something like that Whytner 62.

Sounds like an inspection hatch in the V is a good idea, hopefully I don't find anything and can make storage out of it. Sorry to hear about your leak. I don't have any thru hulls below the waterline.

Good point about the lazarette hatches, that’s something that will need addressing. I have a bildge pump to starboard in a well at the aft cabin bulkhead. It's wired to a switch last the helm (auto/man/off). I figured I would add one aft at the cockpit drain and wire it directly to the house...

As my “new” Boat (2002) has been in the shop for the last three weeks I’ve been devouring the threads here. I’ve come across some other 22’s of my similar vintage that have had some wet core or hull defects. I’m hoping the boat would have had these problems already, seems it’s made it this far...

Only Redstripe at that temp lol That’s the secret.

Meh, I can drink warm soda or even beer, but try keeping food for any length of time when it’s over 100 degrees out. I guess we all have different challenges depending on our geographic region. We’re leaning towards an Engel. Then just something else that will hold fish for a day.

Yeti=best marketing campaign ever. We’re in the market for a cooler, we had been leaning towards the Engel (cooler, not the 12v fridge). That one you posted is interesting, thanks Canyon coolers seems to also be worth considering.

I've never been through the ICW in Ga but I've heard its beautiful, hopefully we'll see it now. In the past when sailing South it's always been easier to do it on the outside. As far as SC, I've heard Dafuski island is a great place to visit, although I can't speak from personal experience...

The main safety concern I have is those two 20 gallon fuel tanks several ft away from the cabin. We're in the process of upgrading our VHF to a DSC enabled unit. The scenario that I don't see that working well is if you have a catastrophic explosion. So in thinking what would be the safest...

Thanks for the thoughts. I went into WM today just to see what they had on display. I really like the small clean look of the Simrad Go7xse. It doesn’t have the ability to add radar anyway. I may just go with it, plus it won’t break the bank.

Hardee, Whats the difference in the 506 vs the 605. Warmart has the 605 for $446, there's so many variations its a little confusing. ICOM really needs a "compare" feature on their website, and so does Simrad. Also does either one of them have built in gps (or is that what GNSS is)? Would be...

I'm with you Colby. It's the careless and drunk small boats that worry me. As it gets warm in Charleston they come out, especially on the weekend. Some intoxicated boater set 3 boats adrift in Shem creek last weekend. It's a popular spot with several restaurants off the harbor, you'll see boats...

Maybe I can put a hydrofoil on my C-Dory? Where can I find an extra long shaft 90HP outboard, lol https://youtu.be/aMz6mxj8Es0

Trying to figure out how to post a picture. test Oh wow it worked!. Sorry I posted a sailing picture, but I figured I'd add a pic of myself so you can see who you're talking to, plus a picture is worth a 1,000 words, even a 9 year old one, lol. Man I loved that boat name. P.S. Not the best...
