CONTINUOUSWAVE

I am going to go with the GAM SS-2

Just bought [a 2010 170 SUPER SPORT]. I did not notice [the hull] damage [shown in Figure 1] before I purchased the boat as-is from a Boston Whaler dealer. They delivered 2010 170 SUPER SPORT to me in the water, and I immediately moved it on my lift. Then, a few days ago, I loaded the boat on the tr...

Q1: are owner-installed trim tabs unusual on smaller Boston Whaler boats?

I am also a licensed amateur radio operator, and I am picky about radio gear. I prefer Icom or Standard Horizon (Yaesu). My...

I may NOT install a fixed-mount 25-Watt VHF Marine Band DSC radio on my 17-foot side console open boat, and instead just use a VHF Handheld radio. Almost all boating will be on inland waters around Cocoa Beach, Florida. Going out into the Atlantic Ocean will be rare. I am trying to think through the...
