Boston Harbor, very nice day

Took the Mary Ellen to Swantown Thursday for an overnighter with my two oldest Grandsons. Met Boris and family up from San Diego with Journey On ,a very nice 25 footer. Had a great visit and then cruised out to Boston Harbor for the day. Came back and stayed overnight at Swantown. A very nice...

I looked at a picture of your guides and they appear to be about the same height as my EasyLoader. When I first got the boat I had a heck of a time getting it center with the same gap on each side after loading. I built a set of carpeted guides that I slip over the factory guides for loading...

I recently had a bimini made by Dave at King's and could not be happier. It has a zipper on both sides of the front so I can open it up when boarding. I went with the stainless tubing and really like it. It is very easy to put up and down for travel and the quality looks great to me. I fell like...

I have been thinking about getting a bimini for the Mary Ellen for several years. I talked to Dave from King Marine several times and decided to go ahead with the project. I have a GPS antenna that is mounted close to where the track mounts on the cabin. Dave suggested taking the boat to the...

Bimini in the stowed position, also will lay against the cabin if need be.

At the ramp in Renton after the first cruise with new bimini.

New bimini, fits like a glove.

Gary, thanks for the last post on King Canvas. I was going to give Dave a call and see if he would still build me a Bimini for the Mary Ellen. I wanted to wait till April for better weather before I drag the Mary Ellen out of the shop for the install. I now can rest, knowing that I will be able...

I just got off the phone with Karl from Scan Marine. I told him I had a few questions for him. I told him I had been using the Wallas stove / heater for 4 years and have had no problems. I asked if it was OK to leave the heater control wide open with the lid closed for a long time. He said how...

Looks like others are using the table as a seat with great success. Thanks for the posts, Big Mac.

As I was trying out the new table hindge and lock system I set up the bunk. I don't know why it has never occured to me but it sure looks like it would make a great seat when the crew is larger. Has anyone used it this way? I would suspect that you would want the larger crew on the ends and kids...

Roger, Thanks a lot for your input, I too had thought that I would miss being able to see the fuel status. I was pleasantly surprized when they informed me of the changes. I failed to mention in my post that I had already upgraded to the larger tanks a while back. Happy Boating, Big Mac.

I recently e-mailed Jeff and asked when they would have time to do a few up-grades to the Mary Ellen. He said bring her up anytime. I took the boat in on Nov. 7th. Shortly afer I arrived I was met by Adam who said he would be doing the work. He listened and took down notes. I told him I wanted...
