Grab yourself a butter burger from Culvers while you are out that way.

Are the old props rebuild-able?

I love our sandy south shore of Long Island!! 😂⚓️
North Shore is a different story….

Peconic bays are even nicer- minimal rocks and deep water

LaRea

@captkevin - I'm having one of the old props repaired.  The other one is likely scrap metal.  He's going to evaluate it in December when his workload slows down.  

LaRea

The new props are performing exactly like the originals!  I wasn't sure because they are 29x38.5 compared to the original 30x37.5.  But I'm getting the same speed and fuel consumption as before throughout the speed range.

And here's what my chart looks like now.  Won't make that mistake again!!  I ran aground right where it says "boulder".

I wondered where you ran aground, my Navionics App does not show that boulder in normal screen . You have to  zoom right in and see a small "R" marking it.

Good news @LaRea ! ⚓️

Sitting in over 9’ you’d not expect it there

I want to see a pic of the boulder. I bet she’s got a few scars.

The Maritimo paddock at Algonac Michigan:  2025 M55, 2007 M52, and our 2011 A50.

@LaRea , was it planned to have the 3 of you there?

LaRea

Well, sorta! The regional Maritimo dealer, Colony Marine, is having their annual party/boat show today.  We came here to see our buddies on that gorgeous M55, and they brought their friend on the M52. 

Colony Marine is a big deal here.  We got to meet the owner, Pete Beauregard ("Junior"), and his dad ("Senior") who are both members of the Michigan Boating Industries Association (MBIA) Hall of Fame.  Interesting guys.  Perfect weather, live music, and lots of delicious Michigan corn!

Very cool ⚓️

I have a picture to add..albeite on the silly side, I drove myself crazy with a mid ship leak. I pulled speakers, resealed hardware...nothing. Water ran down through the " ceiling" of the mid ship and it also ran out on the genny (and to the fuel tank I'm sure) rotting out the genny frame and the wood in the mid ship ceiling. What your looking at, on a 270 on the port side helm seating (all that nautical talk can make a 270 sound fancy), where it curves there is a dry storage underneath the seat- except it fills with rain.  So, the previous owner drilled two holes in the bottom of that bin on either side to drain the water. Problem solved! I've replaced that wood in that "ceiling" and recovered but the sealant may have started leaking..I cleaned it out and filled with JB Weld..that should be on anyone's boat tool kit: one for metal and one for plastic.

@LaRea this just showed up while I was browsing Facebook Marketplace.

Very nice boat

captkevin

Too bad my powerball tickets didn't work out

LaRea

Interesting, I didn't know he was selling!  It's a spectacular boat.  

captkevin

Agreed

Sun setting on the '25 boating season for us. Where does the time go?

grouch0jr

Looks like a beautiful day.

Formulaben

Dang @LaRea! That's a horrible string of bad luck!    I'll stop complaining about my minor squawks now.

Another great weekend 

RiverRunnerNB

Strolling along the waterfront in Halifax, Nova Scotia soaking up a beautiful Fall day, doing some boat watching (and drooling). 

This pair of Fleming motor yachts were particularly noteworthy. Every inch of these vessels sparkled. Both from Florida, possibly traveling together. 

captkevin

amazing boats

Dream_Inn

I see around 20 of them between the two marinas that I pass every time I take my boat out.  They are so beautiful!!

Ian

I think we’ll be up there next week - driving though

rasbury

I xould love to travel that area..starting around Boston and then keep on going...

Dream_Inn

So, I just dropped anchor next to this one….Boat name is Choices and is from Catawba island, Ohio.  Look it up, amazing!!!
Even has a self washing anchor!   Never seen that!!


They left before I could chat.  Wow, I could see Dream ‘Inn IV on the back of that!!!

Dream_Inn

I should add, when we walked around a local island this morning, this one came by.
