Watch out for pouring lead, the fumes are very bad, guys on the island that have been pouring lead for nets and lines are experiencing very bad health effects

I have a yam150 on my boat, I take the boat off the lift every year and winterize the motor. After reading your post I ask, if you have your boat on a lift and you leave your motors in the down position there is no chance that water will freeze anywhere in the motors. So, there is no reason to...

Judge in Denton, MD has a nice Chesapeake 36, did not see them at the show.

x2 use a reputable broker, better still a Parker dealer. Trying to sell it yourself will be very time consuming.

welcome, enjoy the Chesapeake, but not this weekend, I think we'll all get a little more Chesapeake than we would like.

Is "Breezin Thru" a private boat? I knew her years ago when her Captain was Tilghman Helmsley from Love Point, that took fishing parties. I wonder if he still has the boat?
