Re: Hope this isn't a RBOC member
Agree -- never seen that before. In past videos of refueling explosions, I've seen the engine room hatch blow open but the explosion didn't seem to breach the firewall. Seems like you'd need fuel vapors inside the cabin for it to blow like that.

Re: Hope this isn't a RBOC member
99.99999% sure that is a Rinker, 92% sure it is a 342. So sorry to see this, thinking avoid that family. Hope the folks that lived are able to pull through ok. Just a terrible situation. Been wondering if there was a fuel leak and someone accidentally hit the down below genny start button. Probably will never know. Just so sorry.

Re: Potential Florida Vacation home location?
A friend of mine that I used to work with (he passed away) had bought a small fixer upper in Clearwater, Florida. He spent a few years, Vacationing there a couple times a year fixing it up the way he wanted. I remember looking at his pictures of the complete renovation, he documented it well. He had that place SO nice, complete with a dock and a lift. And he got Cancer and died very quickly about 6 months before he was planning to retire. Definitely a tragic ending, but it put things into perspective for sure. Life changes fast. Enjoy every second.

Re: Pic Of The Day
One of the ugliest boats I have ever seen: Overblue Yachts 58. Shiver me timbers!! You'd have to see her in person to fully understand how ugly she is. I'm sure she has someone who loves her, but it's not for her looks.

Re: 2003 342 V Drive for sale
Agree with this. When shopping for my boat, 90% of them have pods and a joystick. I did not want to deal with pods and finally found a V drive boat with a bow thruster. Thats all I need to put her anywhere I want, I can walk the boat sideways with this setup to dock. I'm not saying never buy a pod boat, they have some great benefits, but if you have a choice go V drive vs pod.Dream_Inn said:You don’t need a joystick as long as you have a bow thruster, which the 400 does. My friend’s diesel one is still for sale. It’s a 390, but basically same as 400 except swim platform. (But yes, that is a difference)YYZRC said:@aero3113 please post if you come across a 400 with a hardtop and joystick, not beige hull. Will pay a finders fee! Lol

I haven't been there in a long time but Venice Florida used to be a quiet little old Florida town.

Re: seals
When you remove your cover, make sure that ball moves in and out freely. It can cause shifting issues if not.
