Good Morning The quest continues. The new prospect is a 1985 President 41 Double Cabin After reading the specs on the advertisement I was astonished it stated 2.83 feet max draft. Could you all enlighten me on the good and the bad. Fuel and water tanks have been replaced. The current owner...

psneeld He purchased the boat on Merritt Island. He was bringing it home to the Jacksonville area. How many times he went through that pass, I don't know but will ask his dad and try and find out.

���� Yep they are still there, see attached photos Any other questions? I can post a picture of my 1/2 a left foot, not must right leg left to photograph.

I never said I would not transition through a pass at night. I did say. " I prefer to have local knowledge before I ever transition a pass at night." My definition of local knowledge " First hand familiarity with a body of water that goes beyond what may be found on a chart;" I stated one...

It's been about 25 years since I've had an infant child. I would like to think, I would have taken possession of my new (to me) vessel and spent the night in Cape Canaveral and proceeded in the very early am. Either by myself or with a friend. Definitely not with my wife an infant child on...

Thanks for the spell check. I be sure to check that in the future so as not to upset you. I was not there when it sank. I took a few screen grabs from the video on my phone and relayed the story.

Word I got was they were bringing it back at night and hit a submerged that was not marked on a chart outside Mayport. How true that is I don't know. 3 souls in the water when Coast Guard arrived. 1 was an infant.

Definitely should of had it insured before casting off lines.

One of the decons in our church, his son purchased a Searay in Merritt Island FL. While bringing it home to Jacksonville FL they hit the jetty and sank it. I have a video of it not sure how to share.

Thanks I needed a good laugh!

Welcome I am very new also, but this is a great group! Incredible amount of information.

Ya I should have said earlier he is a retired Navy pilot and one of the few surviving Vietnam Vets I know. He wants me to teach him how to fish he has never been into that stuff. At his age admirable to say the least. This time of year the blue water comes close to shore in Pensacola. Black...

Awesome.

Hey I'm old school. my real friends called me wheels when I got out of hospital after 88 days. Now they call me limp. It's real no problem with me, please speak your mind. Survey start 7:30 am tomorrow. If sale proceeds the Panama City to Pensacola trip should start on 9/16. I am going out...

My bad sorry

No disrespect intended but. On 7/10/22 A licensed commercial Capt sank a 50 foot sport fishing boat in 35 foot of water at a marked wreak that has been in the same location since 1920. It's less then 2 miles from the pass...

Great Advise Excellent advice thank you! Now I have to pitch it to the owner. More on him later. Hiring a Captain to ride from Panama City to Pensacola will be my first pitch to him. He thinks a H.E. 42 ? deck trawler ( Sorry for covert description ) is gonna take him and his wife to the...

PGreeting Consuming info, looking and learning! I have 1000's of hours running boats in FL. Biggest one yet is a 30 foot Pearson. I did help bring a 50 foot Searay from Tampa to Bay St Louis. In a couple weeks I am boarding a Heritage East 42 and will be doing a lot of time at the Helm. I...
