The "Admiral" was my autopilot. Worked at any speed.Jeff I had the other model. I once gave the mate the wheel while I peed and directed that the boat be kept headed toward point x (probably a bright buoy). On returning, we were headed toward point y, 180 degrees off course. Relieved of d...

Screwed in. When we repainted, my effort to save money was to remove the bow rails and all other external h'ware and replace them. I worked carefully to get out screw by screw. When done, I was told by yard mechanic I didn't have to be so careful. Muscling them out didn't matter. enlarged holes coul...

You will get subjective replies. Jeff took down his FB, I absolutely loved mine. Some think it makes the boat top heavy and catches wind. I loved the commanding view and because the captain sits about midship, there was less pitching. Docking was easier because the view was 360. Sometimes, not often...

A suggestion - if you plan to buy a flag get three. They take a beating from sun and weather. Having mutiples means you won't have to buy again soon. In the meantime, you can use them as cabin decor

The pennants on their web site have the seahorse icon but it's encircled by the club name. They do provide a B&W pdf file of the seahorse which you can send to a pennant/flag maker

A 32 wouldn't be all that different to handle than a 28. If you have twin engines (assuming both are operating) it's easy. Take a safe boating course, get a patient teacher, and spend time learning how to operate the boat. Yep, and that extra 4' of space will reward you many times for the small add...

Nostalgia moment.. that boat is if not identical twin, certainly a fraternal twin to the one we sold 6 yrs ago and, if maintained, should still be going strong. I got a kick out of the placement of the brass clock and barometer. Same spot ours was mounted in. I could still rummage thru this boat bli...

Two sisters

two thoughts: it should be no harder to remove cig smell from a boat than from, say a dwelling. Lots of info on the web. If we could get the smell of putrified bait out of the boat in a summer fiasco, you can get cig smell out. Activated charcoal - avail in pet fish stores and online - is great at t...

First question is whether it's safe for use on aluminum hulls. And is the $1,500 a one time charge. Are there Maintenance costs?? And if criteers DO grow, is there a warranty and just how good is that warranty?
