Thanks for that tip Bob, I wasn't aware of that. My concern with the ARB is it appears to be made of plain steel whereas the Engel is galvanized. We stand on ours getting in and out of the boat so durability is important. I ended up with the ARB and Engel mainly because of the power consumption...

Many thanks for the replies and a few pm's. Though the Dometic is highly rated I'm stuck deciding between an Engel or ARB. I'll be buying soon and it all may boil down to availability. James

On our 2003 TC24 the bulkhead is cored but the cabin top in not. James

Billy.... After 15 years of manhandling a portable hatch air conditioner we finally broke down and installed a permanent 9200 BTU unit. I run it off a Honda 2000, including a 10 amp onboard battery charger (original to the boat), and our fridge. With the Easy Start it still runs just fine in...

Alright Brat world....looking for your comments and recommendations for a 12VDC -110VAC cooler. During our recent 3 month cruise it has become apparent that i need to make this happen. Since gutting the marine head system and replacing the grey water tank with an additional water tank I can...

Dr.Bob is right in that it's not comparable to the 255, but for us having owned a 22, the TC24 is 3 times the boat. I will never forget the first ride home from 3Rivers Marine....It looked and felt sooo much bigger than the 22 we traded in. For us, a great boat and we are very comfortable on...

Hey Jeff... Congrats on the new motors. Here's hoping this will be all a distant memory by next year's Hontoon Hoot. Compared to what you had, your going to love your new engines. Look forward to comparing notes the next time we meet up. James

Mike...On the Molly Brown I have to do like Colby but in reverse. She only likes being filled with the nozzle grip facing aft, parallel to the gunnel. I always go slow and listen to the fill sound, in addition to holding a paper towel near the vent. As soon as she starts to spit I stop filling...

Colby...didn't do the O this trip because we got enticed to do DeLeon Springs and follow Tom's group for a couple of days. Amazingly we still found places we'd never been. Sandy....I'm a dog man and have always had a dog onboard but our current dog hates water and boats, and other dogs hence...

The crew of Molly Brown arrived home safely yesterday. We did not sink or catch fire and have only minimal wear and tear on the boat. This was an epic adventure for us having only been able to cruise 1-3 weeks at a time in the past. Covid is what made this adventure possible and Betty worked...

?Ther is a kayak launch up this little side creek? she says....

Betty has been working off the boat for the last 2 months while we take the long way to Hontoon. We use a cell router from Nomad with an ATT SIM card. It’s been flawless except in some remote areas. We plan our route based on a map of cell towers locations. Only once have I had to backtrack to...

You can launch and park your rig at Ed Stone park on hwy 44 west of DeLand. Park on SE side closest to highway. To get to Hontoon go south from the park. Lat/Lon is N28*58.485. W81*21.492. For a marina slip go to reserveamerica.com web site. James

Immediately after going under the Ortega bridge take a hard turn to starboard. There is a little pocket park with a floating dock for discharge of passengers only. Can’t speak to the depth since we anchored there overnight, in front of park but we had 4-5 feet, to get out of a 20 knot NW wind...

Chose to explore the Nassau River and its Four creek systems upstream. Unlike the St.Mary?s this RR bridge has an inverted span we could pass under at half tide or lower

Since we couldn?t get too far up St. Mary?s River we headed back into Florida

History includes a cemetery and ruins. Very pretty place

Can?t stay on the dock at night but Beach Creek on the south end of island is plenty deep

Cumberland Island
