Hi there. I have the galleymaid oven. My bottom element quit and I replaced it with one from an appliance repair place. While it works, it won't get over 325 degrees. Did you find that the replacement worked well? Thanks for any reply Mike Schapansky Waypoint League City TX

I have the Blink system from Amazon. I have cameras for bow, cockpit, stern (for backing up) port, starboard and one for each engine. I also keep a couple of spares and I'll move them around for different purposes. The rechargeable batteries last 2 years. Infrared for night time, I get to see...

I'm using a Verizon Jetpack MiFi 8800L about 200.00 I just upgraded my plan as of today as I was constrained by the 100g limit. Now I'm getting 150 for 110.00 per month. I cruised from Destin FL to League City TX and didn't lose service.

While I won't have a boat for 2 more days, the one I'm getting has a deionizer water system. The owner just sprays the boat down with it after a run. No spots. no scrubbing or wiping. https://www.amazon.com/Go-Spotless-Portable-Dual-Deionizer/dp/B00KVPO21C

Thank you all very much for your replies. All very helpful. I finally was able to contact Mr. Wilson Lin of the Pocta yard in Taiwan. He described the construction of the keel apparently the yard would typically throw in any left over scraps of fiberglass, cut bits that couldn't otherwise be...

Survey day today. Surveyor found a bulge in the fiberglass at the bottom of the forward bilge where the holding tank is. It’s about 6 inches wide by 9 feet long. Extends from the tank to the engine room bulkhead. It’s full of brown water which we think is resin colored. It doesn’t smell like...

Subscribed. My house is in escrow, scheduled to close later this month. I'll be looking for a 45-49 foot boat for a live aboard. Galley is also very important. While I wasn't professionally trained, I am self taught and worked for a top SF Bay Area caterer for fun after work for a few years...

Love the delta. Lots of childhood memories around Bethel island, Franks tract, fishing for cats and using a rake for clamming. Great fun.

Looking forward to hearing how it went...

My wife's Mazda had the dashboard get sticky as you describe. Nothing would help it until it was replaced, thankfully under warranty.

from syjos : re: the El Toro. I had forgotten about this! Another friend had an El Toro sail boat. We used to "cruise" Lake Vasona in Los Gatos Ca. One of the first times I got to steer it we sank! Great fun. I remember getting whacked in the head more than a few times coming about.

Your pics are mainly family fun and enjoyment. I love that. And some maintenance. The cost of family fun.

My childhood friend's Dad had a 30 something Chris Craft. Hardly ever took it out but we went many weekends so he could work on it and Patrick and I would take the tender and go cat fishing and exploring. Later on my now ex-wife's Mom and step dad had a 28 foot sloop. We went on many day...

I've been using March mag drive pumps for many years in a different application. (sodium hydroxide). Little Giant makes a lot of competitive pumps. https://littlegiant.com/products/industrial/magnetic-drive-pumps/ Really the only difference I've found is that March has about 8 screws to fasten...

I'll have 650 lb of aground beef to go please!

And that is a rite of passage!

Have fun! Please post your experiences good and bad so we can live vicariously until we buy and move aboard! Thanks

I will be starting out soon with nearly the same experience. Hopefully with a similar type boat. KK is on my short list, but I'm not ready to buy yet. My wife and I are looking at classes in safe boat handling, navigation, system maintenance and more on the Texas coast. I've got my Chapman's...
