Damn, even comes with "UHF-radio" ...that's pretty unique. "V" and "U" aren't even close on the keyboard...

What about the coal-tar epoxies? I thought they were still the preferred coating for aluminum tanks, despite them being a product introduced about 50 years ago...

RAM makes all kinds of specialized adjustable mounting solutions: http://www.ram-mount.com/

My feelings, too. There needs to be a ball or hinge joint in the mix to make it stowable, I would think. Looks like tits on a log...or whatever that expression is/was...

Well, look at the Northern NY portion of the map, and you will see exactly ZERO boats within a 100-mile radius of Montreal...C-Dory is not a household word up here on the Northeastern Canadian border... The welded aluminum-plate boats so common in the PNW are likewise unknown here...I've been...

Well, it appears that business-models are changing...I have heard many industry-insiders curse GE Capital...they seem to be the bad-boy, since dealers either go with them, or, fail without them. Odd that one player can dominate one segment of the marketplace...why no competition? When seeking...

All the dealer-crying about the lack of floorplanning from the boat makers is rather confusing to me. I was under the impression that the typical floorplan arrangement was an interset-only loan, with the principal paid-off upon the eventual sale of the boat. Please correct me if that's not the...

Lets see, 26' boat, $140,000...yikes! I'm assuming this is a conventional inboard, or maybe vee-drive? Definitely beyond my ability to pay for, and probably beyond my handling skills, without thrusters, that is.

OFFER: River Horse Hardbound, excellent condition. Only the first 171 pages have ever been turned... $13.00, including shipping via Media Mail (slow). Payment via PayPal If you suffer from insomnia, this book is cheaper than the $15 copay on your next Rx for Ambien...plus, you can try to read...

+1, although I punished myself and got over half-way through it. Even worse reading than Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry into Values

For my personality type, the Bearing Buddy, along with an easily accessible mini grease-gun, is the best compromise. Combined with annual inspection, and a hand-check for bearing temperature during every use of the trailer. And, carry a spare hub and bearing set while traveling, with...

Can we assume that grease is more forgiving than oil (for trailer bearings), in the event that the cap leaks, or falls off? Meaning more residual lube following a component failure. What's the advantage of oil, vs. pressurized grease ("Bearing Buddy")?

Are drum brakes on boat trailers pretty much obsolete now? On cars, first there were front disk brakes, now everything is four-wheel disk brakes...motorcycles abandoned drum brakes entirely probably 15 years ago... Can you even buy a new decent boat trailer with drum brakes nowadays? Is that...

Contrast that to Lake Champlain, where Isle LaMotte is considered the oldest documented reef in the world, with 480 million year old fossils...that makes Lake Superior look like a new arrival...That area of Champlain was at one time a tropical coral reef, despite it now being situated near the...

Gitchigoomee. So, how much anchor rode is needed for a 7:1 scope?

Nothing directed at you, just meant to cause a laugh... from my vast collection of "Confucius-say" lines... [Wow, did I deserve that? Explain youself]...edited-out by Socrateur...changed to "ugh".

That statement (from the original Craigslist poster, not you!), regarding the reliability of Perkins, suggests Nigerians are at work here!

Good intentions, but I believe you only hot-linked to the Craigslist hosting URL for the pictures, which will probably evaporate almost as quickly as the CL posting itself. ...http://images.craigslist.org/3nc3oe3l15Q55U15R4a9r9eae652c9a461205.jpg I think that for "posterity", you would need to...

Confucius also say: man who go to bed with itchy asshole, wake-up with smelly finger...

OMG... Do we actually have a consensus on something, or will there be further rebuttal? This forum is great for diversity of opinion, and diversity of facts, too... I recommend that we each list our curriculum vitae as a sig file... Or, maybe just talk about boating?
