Re: Battery group/size? 1978 28 express

27 is what I have. I can tell you; you get what you pay for in a marine battery. I have used the Auto Zone junk,. I have used advanced auto junk. They both burn off water too quick on my dock charger. I know, I know my charger is not the most advanced up to date charger :shock: All I use now is Inte...

Re: Boat zincs

You guys joke :lol: I pulled my boat out for pre-purchase inspection. Some bozo put standard sheet aluminum on as anodes. Last owner got ripped off by some shade tree drunk. Lucky the boat was in freshwater.

Re: No cable TV at my slip

Re: No cable TV at my slip

Will my DVD player play the stuff I record (off the PC)?

Re: No cable TV at my slip

Jeff, I dumped the cable pig a few years ago. Cost way too much to flip through a bunch of channels with nothing on worth watching. More gas money for the M :D Problem is, you can't do this if you are a sports junkie. My large TV is a computer monitor basically. So I watch TV via antenna for local H...

Re: To appraise or not to appraise

First, let me say, I hate to see you both give up on your boat project. I do applaud you for moving on. It is almost impossible to find a competent boat mechanic unless you live close to a very large body of water. When you do find one they are very expensive. Maybe you guys can set a future goal of...
