Where are you getting your lettering for bottom of dingy.

We presently use a toaster and a microwave to cook on for the weekends. I would like to have more cabinet space so looking for a combo unit that we could use as a toaster/oven/microwave thus eliminating two units to only one. Anyone know and/or use such an item? Thanks.

Recommendation for good rope/chain windlass.

Thanks for all the great info on windlasses. However, I am now rethinking if I need an all chain road. My 35' CHB is 27,000 lbs. I boat on a large inland lake on Texas/OK border. I usually anchor in about 20-30 ft of water, little wind and very few wakes (jet skiers) My thinking is now toward a...
