    check out the damage from this weekend! who to fix?

    my boat floated off the lift at high tide and washed up next to some rocks. pretty much sat there all night getting banged into the boulders. my guess is that there are a thousand pot marks on that side of the hull. any thoughts and suggestions on who in the DC area can fix this?

    tips on moving boat down on old rollers?

    i'm in the process of painting my hull. everything is done except for where the rollers touch the boat. it's probably a 15 year old trailer that's had the boat sitting on it 98% of the time. I tried cranking up the front of the trailer and pushing the boat back; nothing. i tried putting some tow...

    how big a tarp do I get?

    on a 23 foot cuddy, 8.5' beam, what size tarp should i get? I don't want to be short on the front and sides, but i also don't want to get a mammoth that's hard to manage and then trails in the wind all winter long. how much overage do you get (length and width)?

    North Potomac; Dog's gotta pee!

    I was wondering if anyone knew of a good spot to beach the boat in the Northern portion of the Potomac. (Besides docking at Georgetown) I've got two dogs and if I want to spend a full day out on the water, well.. they basically have to hold it. My son probably wouldn't mind exploring a beach...
