    1979 Victoria 18

    I've been boating my entire life but I've always been a powerboater. I had a sunfish for a summer or two some 35 - 40 years ago but never really mastered it. Now at 53, I think I'd like to give sailing another go. A friend of mine has a 1979 Victoria 18 that he's looking to get rid of...

    Need design thoughts

    Anyone seen this one yet? http://www.seven-marine.com/motors/technology/ At $60k +, I may have to wait another paycheck or two (or thousand). Also at 1,000 lbs, I'll have to do some mods to the transom.

    Help my dog

    I have a Golden that absolutely loves the water and boating. My problem is with his hesitation to get on the boats. He wants to really bad, but our dock is a "brock dock" and offers no traction. When he tries to jump into/on the boat, his rear legs slip and he looses all balance. It's pretty...

    Boat Heaters

    I'm looking to extend my boating season by getting a boat heater. I'm not looking to "heat" the cockpit but I'd like to take the "chill" out. I looked in the iboat store but didn't see anything like what I'm looking for. I have found a system here...

    Question for 5150abf

    Record Marlin

    Now that's one big fish. I'll bet it was fun as all get out landing it. 3 hours to land it, I've heard of longer fights but that had to be one exciting fishing trip! http://www.wbaltv.com/cnn-news/20302507/detail.html

    Would you vacation in Cuba?

    It seems the current Administration is leaning toward relaxing the US stance re: Cuba. If it came to pass that Cuba was open to all citizens (not just Cuban-Americans), would you want to vacation there. I for one, would be all for a vacation there.

    let us not forget

    If this is deemed as a political statement then I guess it's OK to remove it. I found it to be very good. http://www.pentagonmemorialphotos.com/

    Question for the Mods

    It has been a while since anyone has sent me a PM so if what I'm asking already exists then forgive my aging forgetful brain. I've noticed that on many posts someone who has sent a PM will post in that thread "PM sent". My question is; Can it be set up that when someone sends a PM, the...

    Sunglass opinions wanted

    I will be shopping for a new pair of sunglasses this spring but before I drop $400+/- (they'd be prescription) I thought I'd seek some opinions. I haven't priced any yet so that $400 figure may or may not be realistic. There are some criteria that I absolutely will NOT compromise on. 1. They...

    I am about to undertake a restoration project on a 1974 Century Resorter and am wondering if there is any software available to track the progress. Something that would categorize things like engine, electrical, hull, interior, etc.. I have seen some for automobiles but haven't seen anything...

    Large Wake

    I just purchased a 1974 18' Century Resorter this summer. I absolutely love this boat. We had a 1970 16' Resorter when I was growing up. Anyway here is my problem. At idle speed the wake is much larger than I like. I would personally yell at anyone coming down our channel that was throwing...
