I am curious, who has, who wants to, and who is? It has been almost a month for me. Unfortunately Merideth is made of frp. But her tender is wooden, Emma is a Bolger Nymph.
My what pretty teeth you have.
It would be easier to get out of a contract with the devil. They assign a monthly value to each month left in your contract."early termination fee." Other option is to find someone to take over the...
As I suspected, I will stay away from Pyle. I am only planning on 4 speakers not four dozen. Thanks
I 2nd converting to three phase power. Get a larger motor to make up for loss of power at slower speeds. Three phase motors are much cheaper and better with less moving parts than single phase.
On Meet Up.com there is a group called "virtual yacht club" it is based in NH but has members from Marble Head to Portland. Even some on Winnipesaukee. There may be something similar closer to you
Hi,
I am looking for a new radio for my boat, amazon has some cheap prices on pyle stereos. Anyone have experience with them?

I don't know about the costs in Mass, but some places in the Portsmouth NH area are very reasonable. Winter storage can be dirt cheap in the mid-coast ME.
Bridge accidents are not new to Portsmouth.

I had trouble with moisture in a portable garage I used to own... it would rain inside on warm day.... basicly ground water would evaporate and then condense on the inside, the water table was very...

We have three trailers at work that are rated for 12,000 lbs. With a single axel. It all depends on the trailer on the manufacturer and the parts they use.
Boulter plywood in Somerville stocks sitka spruce in 20' lengths. What are you building? where are the pictures?

I would say that a boat with less than full headroom. Is better than a boat open to the sky, for cruising.
[QUOTE=willburrrr2003;3428141]Hikingchrs, That sounds like a fun trip under sail :) Thanks for sharing it and the great pics that make me want to get out onto the water soon as I can too! Do you...

It is more of a after hiking chair, or drinking chair.
Its a 1967. Bought new by my uncle's brother. I am the third owner. It smokes a bit when cold. It starts on the third pull. I read somewhere to stay away from the folders. I try not to use it but it...
A safer more convenient spot would be dover point. Heading up river since a great deal of the current heads into greatbay. Launch a hour or two before high tide then turn around after the tide...
the back channel has some current, when I sailed threw last week I was doing 6 knots with three reefs in my main sail in a ten foot wide channel that was less than three feet deep. I had to stand on...

You could ride up with me if there is room at the bed and breakfast.
The motor well worked out well i would have never been able to get the motor on the bracket i had last year. This was the first time i used the motor since the dunking started on the third pull. Mike...

I was taught in my CDL School the proper way to shorten the chain in to twist it until the desired length is achieved... I also always change out the bent hooks for cast hooks with keepers. 20 years...
I have a canoue paddle that is three years old, three of the four glue joints failed. The company that made the paddle warranties it for only a year. I expected it to last longer than three seasons,...
I like the hoist on page 8 of the 2008 Small Boats mag. written by Ben Fuller "Storage Solution #1 Joe's Shed"
Steven and Clint help me make an awsome mast. Steven has been helping me put one of those egg beaters in her also. guess he got sick of me dropping my motor into the ocean.
I find three crewman needed to row any distance, two rowers and a helmsman... make sure your oars grips are big enough for two hands. when I need to more her a short distance I use a paddle.
Steven did take a nice pic, but Jasmine is mine. haha.
