The 37 year old Galley Maid electric range oven aboard Jackaroo has given up the ghost and I have been looking at replacement alternatives which might suit real cooking better than replacement marine units. This review was helpful, thanks. I've also been looking at the Anova Precision...

If you smell diesel fuel inside the boat, you have a fuel leak somewhere. If you smell diesel exhaust inside the boat, you have an exhaust leak or it's blowing back in through a window or opening somewhere. Diesels are noisier than gas engines. That's the nature of the beast. Different types...

As for learning to drive it, hiring a captain is certainly an option. Is there a local Power Squadron chapter near you? The Power Squadrons often offer boat handling courses with real, hands-on experience. When my wife and I first moved up from a ski boat to a twin engine cruiser, we took a PS...

I'll pipe in and echo the earlier poster who recommended looking at a Ranger Tug or Cutwater (same hulls, same company, different layout and superstructure). The smaller ones (under 30 feet) are great pocket cruisers, are trailerable, hold their value well, and have options for outboard motors...

My OA is 37 years old now. Was 35 when we bought it two years ago. It was well kept and upgraded by previous owners. Not bristol, but in good enough shape that dock walkers regularly comment on it. Like any old boat it still had some things it needed. These were almost all identified during...

Bill and Lori already invited us, thanks. We are planning to come by car. Looking forward to it!

Hi all. I've been reading stuff on this site forever, but never registered an account. Finally decided to do so. My wife and I are long-time PNW boaters. Any of you local Grand 14 yacht club folks have almost certainly met us at one point or another in the past decade (I'm a Past Commodore of...

Getting ready to head out on our summer cruise from Seattle up to BC and I was updating all our documentation. I went to update the CBP Roam app in anticipation of crossing back into the US, and it seems permanently broken at login and no longer supported now? I see CBP is planning to switch...

I didn't actually know you could get a transient slip at Friday Harbor. I assumed they were all monthly moorage. I've always been put on one of the breakwater piers (B, C, or D). No complaints about FH generally though. We've always had good experiences there, though I wish they would...
