Don't put it on the antenna.... it is way too much load, being double thickness they pull a lot at speed.... tell Dianne Michael says it is best on the bow and it looks best there as it is always in view from the bridge. :) I agree. You might get away with the flag on the lower half of the shaft ne...

Electrical Parallel Box.

Was up to the boat ( 2 1/2 hrs one way ) was a beautiful day. Sun shining, above freezing, minimal wind. Now this may not mean much to you southern folk , but, up here it does. Anyhow, was taking measurements and removing the old battery tray and paralleling box. Am putting together a dedicated &quo...

Personally, I"ll go for the laid back front. Trojan herald on the front, F-32 on the side ( or vessel of your choice )

Cetol works for me. Single step into rear cockpit, steps to fly and swim ladder have seen 2 seasons. No scratches on the single step and it gets used the most and sees much shoe traffic.

I use a 12 ladder, 6' 1" body, a 3' arm and a 4' extention. Works for me. Drives my shorter buddy nuts.

I've done both. My last boat ( 25' ) I used a 20 X 40 foot plastic tarp and wooden ridge pole and up rights. Got 3 years out of every tarp. My present boat ( F32 ) I am using shrink. Bought a piece 32 X 56. A learning curve but each year a little easier. This will be the third year for the same piec...

Larry: When I bought our first boat, a 19 ft Bayliner, I couldn't spell "baot" much less drive one. The guy I bought it from said to me "Remember, you can never go too slow". The longer I boat the truer that statement is. When we moved up to a 25' I sat at the wheel and looked ah...

Two years ago I bought shrink to do my F32. The piece was 32'X56'. With a slight dome over the flybridge, it came down approx half way between the rub rail ( at the stern ) and the waterline. I needed every bit of the 32 for the width, wouldn't want it any narrower. As far as the length did not use ...
