    Best winds for boating in Southern Maine?

    Not sure that I'm following the question. And I admittedly don't know those waters. But, I don't think wind direction matters as much to me (even under sail) as wind strength. Wind can (and does) kick up waves, but there are a lot of other factors involved too. How much experience do you have...

    Boat mooring in rocky areas (aluminum boat)

    Dunno' about a "yacht" but they do it on the shores here in TN too. Rocky edges of these lakes, and yet they do park the houseboats on 'em. I don't anchor on shore very often, but I've found places to nose the Bayliner into and get on shore. Here's a fiberglass boat on Powell:

    Stainless Steel? Anyone know what make, model, year this is?

    Typically the transom on a boat like that is metal, with wood on both sides. But not usually across the entire stern. That one looks like there's wood all across the back. Can you see the metal on the inside of the transom? You've had it on the water and it doesn't leak, right?

    Stainless Steel? Anyone know what make, model, year this is?

    @Jdog3295 - do a search for "Elgin Stainless Steel Boat" and see if that gets you in the ball field. Look that one over carefully : not sure what's going on with the transom in the photos. Could just be a coating, but it looks weird to me. Welcome aboard.

    Build a Barge Workshop

    I believe so. The C4 wasn't out until '64, I think.

    Build a Barge Workshop

    Nothing you can see in terms of progress on the 'toon. We've been collecting some parts, grabbing hardware and figuring out painting the fence before we start reassemble. So, not much to see. But I mentioned the "pontoon-pause" to work on FIL's Mercury Comet. We wrapped up the brake rebuilt...

    Newby to boating

    That's a good lookin' boat. I've never heard of that one before. Definately not an ocean goer :) That's a loaded question. What are you planning on doing mostly? What type of seas are you typically going to be in? How are you keeping the boat (trailer / mooring)? And what is "affordable" to...

    My new cuddy, well sorta... Deck boat tent

    Let's not ask questions in a topic that has been dormant for a decade. Please take a few moments to read our forum rules. Closed.

    Newby to boating

    Welcome aboard: I'm not familiar with the boat you're referencing. Assuming that it's a typical competition style ski boat, I can't imagine it will perform well in the ocean. Maybe some more protected bays and inlets it might do okay, but not big water. Wrong style boat for that sort of thing.

    Adding a GPS unit to a bowrider

    I've got the same unit as JAS ^^^ but I have mine mounted on a RAM mount just under the dash. The screen peeks out to the lower left of the wheel - easier to see than it sounds.

    Tahoe Q5i VHF radio

    Also depends on where you're boating. Bigger waters (ocean, Great Lakes, etc.) may want a little higher line of sight on the antenna when off shore. On the lakes I run here in TN, the handheld is about as good because the hills kill line of sight anyway.

    What year is my Sea King

    Some information on Sea King HERE.

    What year is my Sea King

    Serial number starts with '61 - and that's as good a guess as any for the year the boat was made. Fits the style. What information are you trying to get specifically? Nice little boat. Welcome aboard.

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    We had a goat out on Priest for quite a while. I haven't seen him in years, but he was on the island over by Poole's Knob.
