Sitting on our new to us 410 Super Sport. Took us 2 years to find the right boat. We have tons of questions and are happy to have found this forum. We'll do some searching around before we ask questions that have already been answered. Thanks in advance!

We are currently enjoying a 2006 Searay 44 DB Sedan Bridge. We are spending much more time aboard than in the past and are considering moving up to a 55 to 60 foot aft cabin yacht for enhanced comfort. We really like the idea of the hard top with hard enclosure as is offered on the 564, to avoid the inevitable issues with aging vinyl and zippers ect. We are a bit surprised that there are so few manufacturers that offer the hard top with the hard enclosure. I'm assuming that it has to do with the ...

HI all,



This past weekend I moved Escape Plan 40 miles downriver to get her pulled out onto the hard and get her bottom paint redone. When I bought her just over two years ago and had her surveyed we noticed a handful of blisters but nothing major that would cause concern. She was pulled yesterday and they started removing the old bottom paint. Well, they found some old blisters that weren't properly repaired in the past. The slurry blast was actually popping some of the old repairs off and ...

I'm searching for a used Hurley dinghy davit, preferably a H30. If anyone has one for sale please contact me at malleyent@aol.com.

So I am almost done with the installation. Removed an old Raymarine RL80C plus plotter/radar. Two Clarion radio heads, one in the cabin and one on the bridge. Then Reinstalled:

All Raymarine

ES128 12” MFD with Chirp Sonor and Navionics Platinum as the master

ES127 12” MFD as the slave

EV1 autopilot with a 70R control head

1 Fusion MS RA770 Radion Head in the cabin controllable from the MFDs or iPhone

6 new 6.5” JL Audio speakers and 2 Bose outdoor speaker for the aft deck

All backbone connected

...

Glad to virtually meet you. I look forward to communicating and learning within the community.

All of the best,

Hi my name is Larry.

Sailed and enjoyed it but now it’s just WORK! Not to mention I pinched my wife’s finger with a halyard line. There went the sailboat.

We were talking about motorboat for a long time and actually figured when my daughter’s schooling was done we could get another boat. As soon as we got notice my daughter was graduating I said to my wife, I’d like to get a boat. To my surprise her response was sure we could actually call it “ no more to tuition”.

Of course as soon as we got to ...

I've tried searching but couldn't come up with an answer: What is the Balsa Core thickness that was used on the decks of an 80's Carver Mariner (3697)?



I emailed Carver but they are yet to answer me so I'm hoping one of you might know either from experience or by coming across someone else who needs to make a soft deck repair. I want to order all components and have everything on hand prior to cutting the deck open which includes the correct core material.



Thanks!

Just purchased my third (3) boat. A Carver 440 aft Cabin. 1995 model.
Boat Name Aladdin 3.

I have a bank of4 batteries and want to purchase a "4 bank" battery tender to keep the batt's charged during the winter. Each bank has a separate hook up so they are all independent. The question is if the batts are all connected to each other in the bilge, does that affect charging the batts with the tender?
