RogueWave, Looked this over, checked availability, prices; that 46-footer looks perfect for what we want to do. Absolutely spot-on. Thanks again for the link. Shanty

Totally understood on this point. Agreed with all that agreed with you. Thank you, both FF and RogueWave. RW, looks like almost exactly what we were looking for... FF, haven't gone through them yet, but the Bareboat rental had appeal. We were finding a lot of sailboats too, but I'm going to...

Hi, All, Haven't been on in a few weeks and have truly missed it. Alas, life calls and we answer. The Admiral-in-Waiting and I, along with another couple and their young ones, are hoping to rent a boat for a week this coming January, the first step toward what we hope will be our LAB life...

LOVE the numbers, Mr. Sanders. Thank you for breaking those out.

Psneeld, THIS is where the thread creep begins, but I have a completely irrelevant question (so apologies to all): Isn't the GL typically done cruising the Atlantic coast north and then with the river currents south? The reason I ask, of course (and this may be incredibly naive), is that one...

Also, PHK, your advice on Brokers didn't fall on deaf ears. Experience is a huge must, absolutely. I will tell you that the only time we heard the 'Lotto' joke, and we heard it all day long, was from Brokers. It's one of the things that annoyed us to no end. Perhaps they were just being...

Thanks, PHK, for weighing in here. Interestingly, maybe, we both liked the Carver quite a bit, we also walked several Sea Rays and neither of us liked them at all. (My 10 YO daughter, on the other hand made a point out of picking out her cabin on each and every boat we stepped aboard). And...

Too true, Peter. And for us too. (We're definitely hoping at this point that the improving housing market isn't exactly mirrored by the rebound of the used boat market. Thank goodness for returning equity!) There is one marina that we've looked at here in SoCal that jumps exponentially in...

So, this week we ventured off of our mountain perch and down to Newport Beach to attend the Lido Boat Show. It was our first time stepping onto a lot of the boats we've been looking at and we found it incredibly valuable. Among the things we learned (in no particular order)... 1) We like a...

Hi, The Celt, We are decidedly newbies too, as such I usually stay out of the 'Welcome' area because I know that I have so little to offer in the way of advice. That being said, we have learned immense amounts in the short time that we have been reading and participating in this forum. This...

Willies, yes, but I LOVE that picture. My daughter, on the other hand, has decided that she would rather not take our boat-- whatever boat that may end up being-- to Antarctica.

Well, maybe not underway.

We slow-smoke a few hundred pounds of meat each week in our restaurant: brisket, pork and chicken mostly, but seafood and duck in smaller quantities. One phenomenal resource we tapped when we first got started was Craig "Meathead" Goldwyn. He writes about food, mostly BBQ for HuffPo, but it's...

Man, you're right, but there's something about her that's more than a little bit cool... Well, congrats to buyer, seller and brokers alike! Are you one of those, Daddyo?

It's a little more than we're hoping to spend, and I'm guessing it's not still going to be available when we're ready to buy, but this is one pretty cool boat: 2005 Custom 49' Trawler 72,000 lbs with Trac Digital Active Fin Stabilizers

Ditto. A fun read about a great start to your journey! Thanks for sharing the trip and the photos.

For those of us not really in the know, is the Columbia River Bar?

Well, Mark, now let's be honest, it's not ALL heaven... the geography 'round here can actually get a little rough around late September, but it usually clears up before Thanksgiving. :socool:

Watched the video and thought these were amazing... did some VERY quick research and came up with a cost a couple years old of between 40,000 and 100,000 POUNDS STERLING for purchase and installation. (The 40K was for someone buying factory-refurb directly from Seakeeper; not a deal that seemed...

Hi, Tarrowood, We're in the same position, albeit nowhere near the joys of retirement. We've found ourselves increasingly attracted to the Bayliner 4788 and the Carver 450 Voyager. Outdoor space is important to us as well, but the beautiful flybridge on both we believe meets those needs. (The...

When I was a kid my grandparents had a house in Acapulco, which my grandfather had helped develop. I was down there with them one summer when my grandfather took me on one of the tour boats. As it passed my grandparents house the guide announced that it was the Queen of England's Acapulco home...

You're a little bit off here, as 'blog tool' doesn't really begin to describe what wordpress does. Many sites, major and minor, are built on wordpress. Yes, a blog could be built too, but I think you will find that wordpress will allow you to get any kind of site up in running in less than a...

Another day later and I get directed to 'Ready Hosting'... did you take the post down because of the virus issues? Would love to take a look at this boat! [EDIT: somehow I missed the post on page two where you explain that the hosting company had deleted your site/suspended your account...

Kevin, not sure what if anything happened behind the scenes there, but I would love to check out his sites. He had this link posted on his profile: http://meridianpilothouse.com/meridian-bayliner-pilothouse-motoryacht-history/ But if the links to the other sites are available at the...
