What is the typical deposit on a written offer?

Isn't also true to double clamp (regardless of clamp style) when practical?

Also a type II veteran. Type II meaning my body produces insulin but does not know how to use it. I use to stick myself 2x a day but then realized why do I need to do it. If I eat pizza or pasta I don’t need a meter to tell me my sugar will be high or conversely eat fish and vegetables and have...

Maybe you should invest in this...

Does time passed factor into oil change interval or is it engine hours alone? ie every 200 hours or 6 months whichever comes first,

Not sure I understand. Are you saying if I buy an 20+ year old boat I should automatically rebuild it. Wouldn’t I be better off buying a twin and waiting for one engine to break (ie throw a rod) and return to a marina for repair. I think if you have a suspect single the urgency to repair is...

Unless I hit the lottery my future boat will be 20+ years old. I think all will agree that a engine will become less dependable and more likely to break as it ages especially when it hits the 20+ age. Hence would I not be better off with twins on a older boat especially when you find yourself...

Is there any truth that some insurance companies will not insurance a single if it going from the U.S. to the Bahamas?

My future boat will have twins. Why? My number one priority is peace of mind and safety whether real or psychological. I can understand if on a single and the engine fails in a safe place but what if you are crossing the Gulf Stream and it cuts out, or you are leaving or returning through an...

My dream along with the boat would be to buy land with a bulkhead and water to accommodate a 5 ft draft then build a small ranch on the property. Total budget for land and home about $300k. Ideally would like to cruise the entire eastern seaboard from Florida to Canada with jaunts to the...

Putting family issues aside what is the optimum location to base a boat on the east coast. For me selling my home and moving to a modest home on canal will be ideal. I do not like the idea of having the boat at a marina due to cost but more importantly the convenience of walking out the back...

This is why besides financial issues I need 2 more years of research. I will look into the zero speed stabilizers. Thanks B

Well, I sense from your post that you kinda get use to it. I started with a wife that would just look at a boat and get seasick. So I started big, cruise ships. Here she had anxiety leading up to our first cruise but in the end all was OK. We went on to take 4 more cruises with no incidents to...

Simi 60, did you ever install flopper stoppers on your boat. I am 2 years away from pulling the trigger with a pretty good idea of what I will be looking for. The boat (used) must have active stabilizers otherwise a no go per the future admiral. My concern is roll at anchor and the only way to...

By the way just to put that web cam into perspective, you are looking south from the Soggy Dollar Bar famous for it’s “Pain Killer” cocktail. It is on White Bay. There are two channels into the bay, one is right between the two palms. Normally you will see boats coming in and out of the channel...

Last year my family and I did a 6 day course on power boating in BVI. I am going back this year for my first charter. There is now a north swell hitting the Virgin Islands. I like to view the Sandy Dollar we cam which usually shows flat seas and and fair share of boats limited in sight by the...
