Re: Scrap it or save it. Need advice!

Sorry to hear that and we sympathize. But I think you did the right thing. The theft sounds unavoidable. I haven't shopped for one in a while, but $17k seems pretty steep for a used trailer. I'd bet you could get a brand new top-of-the-line aluminum trailer for less so it seems to me you did well un...

Re: Nightmare

Hello David: If you take the $13k, the insurance company will own claims against any third party. (Which they are unlikely to pursue.) Good investigations take time and money and you are more likely than not to come up empty-handed. (I put dashcams in our cars after my wife was the victim of a hit-a...

Re: Nightmare

The old timers referred to being on the hard as "dry dock" and on the Ohio River we see floating dry docks for tow boats and barges, but I think David is referring to a boat hoist or floating boat lift. This listing has a picture of a 32 sedan on a hoist: https://www.yachtworld.com/yacht/1...

Re: Nightmare

That is a nightmare. If you don't have a hard copy of your insurance policy you can likely look it up online. I'd get my agent involved (despite lower rates from the likes of GEICO, I have an agent so there's someone I know personally who can help.) Someone at the marina should have called the Coast...

Re: 1981 37' Marinette Flybridge Parts

Help! I'm lost. You'd have to own the boat to scrap it--or are you saying you need $$ to pay the lien? This is a good place for help, so please post some details. Is it a sedan or a double cabin? If the boat can be sold, where is it and what shape is it in? Has the boat been idle for 18 years? Where...

Re: Painted the Vee birth , Galley , and Head clean new look…

It never occurred to me to paint over that wall paper, but it looks good on the video. On my 28' the wall paper was soiled so I removed it from the firewall and replaced it with vinyl wainscoting. I replaced the head/galley bulkhead with a sandwich of 1/4" plywood and vinyl wainscoting. The pan...

Re: Gun safe on 1985 39' Marinette Sedan

It's cool you have the diesels. Please let us know how they perform. I hear they're pretty easy on fuel.
