I know I'm a new (less than a week) owner of a Pearson 424 , but how dare Island Packet announce the new IP 460 and not offer me one to evaluate for a few years on the blog? I mean come-on it only seems fair since they never did give me that 420 I...

I’m very infatuated with the Port-A-Boat and like to see stuff about them on the web. Chris in the UK has made some cool modifications to his 10’ Bote, including adding a pine bow platform. Check his site out here .

As I’ve been paying more attention to the actual paramters of the boat beyond 40’ blue water sailboat, I’ve found the YachtWorld and Boats.com searches to be less and less useful. The problem is the search isn’t specific enough unless you really have...

For those new to the blog, Dawn and I are selling the house so we can downsize and buy the boat. We’ve already moved out into an apartment which is just a temporary landing pad while the house sells. And as for getting the house ready to sell, there are...

Dawn and I are getting the house ready for the market which means we also need to start thinking about the kind of boat we want to buy. I know the general idea (Bluewater Cruiser) but I want to spend some time breaking down the different aspects of boats...

I’ve been holding off on listening to these for a while and tonight I finally found some time to watch the online seminars from Zimmerman Marine . You’ll need the Macromedia Flash Player installed to watch the videos (most of you already do) and either...

Updated with input from Dawn After the Seattle Boat Show last winter, I felt I had a hard time remembering the boats and especially how one boat felt as compared to another. I was basically wandering around the boats, opening all the hatches but not really...

At the boat show today the Porta-Bote guy was on a break so I had time to look over the boats with out being pitched. ;-) It’s the first I’ve actually been up close to one of these things and the engineering behind it so simple yet it does the trick....

Day one was a short trip, but Dawn and I managed to see a few boats. We focused on the used boats which I felt were bluewater boats. This means we followed my biases, which may have been arbitrary, but they’re mine. ;-) Quick run down of the boats we...

You might recall my little dinghy mishap over the fourth. Well after the motor was dunked by someone at the dock “helping” we ended up rowing a lot until we got a replacement dingy. Rowing was actually kind of fun. First off you don’t the motor running...

This is from IBINews, I think you could use the info to bargain a bit on those kayaks! US boat shipments show steep drop in January and February While dollar sales were up for both months, the unit decline was mainly due to weaker paddlesports sales....
