The three dealers in Kitsap, Oak Harbor, and Apalachacola always have good input on the site. I would miss any one of them.

I know you have allready made your decision, but I didn't see this post until now. So I'll put my $.02 worth in anyway. I will give my suggestions as what I have seen as a new/normal boat buyer. "Gee, Honey, that boat sure does look purty." C-Brats are not your normal boat buyer. Most of us have...

I have Progressive on both boats. Never had a claim. Price is good.

We have a little Keurig coffee maker that makes one cup at a time. It uses pods. It is always hot and always fresh. Many different kinds of coffees to try.

I had the same problem with my radar. I had a taller mast installed and I replaced it with an LED to cut current draw at anchor.

I never used the tabs after I tried them out. Not wide enough to make a difference and they really dig in. I put a SE Sport 300 on Cocoon. All I ever use now is the motor trim. It seems to give more control at low speed.

That is a good reason to go during the week. I'll just hope Emily goes up the coast, because I'm going out Monday AM.

I first was introduced to the C-Dory family when we first moved to Florida in 2004 and saw them at a fair in Clearwater or Dunedin. Both my wife and I fell in love with the boats, their simplicity, and their seaworthiness. I first saw the Cape Cruiser at a boat show in Ft Myers. I just fit the...

Our little boat, Petunia, is an Alumaweld. Even down here in Florida the boat doesn't get particularly hot. I'm taking her out tomorrow morning about 6:30AM. I plan on being back before the heat index gets over 100. I guess because aluminum is a good heat conductor, and my boat is heavy gauge...

Coffee is a life staple. We had an 1800 watt inverter installed on Cocoon so we could use a small one cup Keurig coffee maker on board.

I have the Garmin 740S on my 16 ft boat. The vision map card is really just a gimmick. It sure isn't worth the $300 I paid for it!

I have a Garmin 76CS Plus and a Garmin Colorado 400c. The 400 has a larger screen, and I like the rotary control better. I also have the Navionics app on my iphone. That is probably the best and at $9.99 certainly the cheapest.

I also have a Landing Loop. It works as advertised. Storage is a problem as the pole and head tend to want to be stored in different spots. It also requires a 1/2 inch line. All my lines are 3/8. I bought a red 1/2 inch line for dedicated use. I ordered mine one weekend from the owner, who at...

In the Narrows at Indian Shores is the Pub restaurant. They have their own docks and good food. We stayed at Marina Jacks earlier this month. Very nice clean marina with three good restaurants, a newspaper delivered to your slip in the morning, nice transient docks, and a 30 foot minimum charge.

St Johns River

I have a Garmin 76CS Plus, a Garmin Colorado, and the Navionics app on my iphone. They do some things better than the other. For $10 the Navionics app is as good or better than the Garmins. If you want waterproof/resistant get an Otterbox for your iphone

I got the Garmin 740S with the Blue Chart G2 Vision card. BIG FUN NOW.

I am going to get a chartplotter for my little boat, a 16 ft Alumaweld. Yes, I know it is overkill. I want as big a unit as I can get with an internal antenna that will fit on the dash. The HDS 8 or 10 is on the list. I have a Raymarine C70 on the Cape Cruiser. How does the Lowrance compare to...

I am going to get a chartplotter for my little boat. I want as big as I can with an internal antenna that will fit on the dash. The HDS 8 or 10 is on the list. I have a Raymarine C70 on the big boat. How does the Lowrance compare to it. Those who have an HDS 8 or 10, how do you like them? Is the...

:smiled I am now officially retired. I just got home from my retirement party. The boat is loaded(and so am I). Just a few more things to do. West Marine is getting a new chip for the Raymarine, which I will pick up tomorrow. Lots of details for the long duration trip. WE WILL BE LEAVING...
