    If you are considering USCG documentation, the letters for port of call have to be a minimum of 4" tall -- even the lower-case letters.  Change them to all caps.  And I agree about taking out the comma and periods.  Simplify!

    I don’t think I’m going to document the boat but here’s the requirements if I were to.

    The buyer of my 242 sent me some pics of her all waxed up and bottom painted. Nice to see she’s in good hands. He thinks he found someone that will get him in the water next week. Curious to see it this is possible.

    My marina where stored are essential as they have gas, support DEC and the Sheriff vessels. He's moving me out soon into the yard -yay! - but no pleasure crafts can be launched.

    The buyer of my 242 sent me these pictures today. He did a boat by in the 242 and took a couple of pics of the 330. I must’ve just missed him when I was down there. He’s been very happy with the 242  :) .

    He's snapping pics of his next new boat...we all know you'll run out of repairs and upgrades then you'll move up to a bigger rinker. 😊

    Really like the clean look with now stripes. He should have parked beside the 330 so you could see have much you stepped up. Then he could of signed the purchase agreement.

    A 242 could nearly rest on the davids of a 330!  That's a big beamy yacht....shes well past a boat.  If the old crazy captain that was hunting jaws had been on a 330, the line "We're gonna need a bigger boat" would have never made it into the movie.

    Seemed like she liked 3800-4000 RPM’s to cruise Between 28-30 MPH. It was windy and a little choppy so will see what she does on a better day. I cannot be happier with twins! Docking was amazingly easy!! Barely used the wheel.

    @reneechris14 they actually say 3.7 and 3.2  :D . When I installed the new panels and gauges, they started at 0 .

    Oh I get it new to me. Did you like the ride of the bigger boat. It was a huge difference for me going from the 270 at 7250# to the 342 at 14250#

    @reneechris14 , Yes! We would’ve been beaten up in the 242 today. It really handled well. I told my wife when we were at anchor that the wind is picking up and is only going to get stronger as the day goes on. I said that if we were in the 242 I would be nervous thinking about the trip back and docking, I was at ease being on the 330. Huge difference. My 242 was around 5000 lbs, the 330 is a little over 14000 lbs. I can’t wait to get back on it now that we have mostly everything sorted out and in its proper places.

    Did you have the drives trimmed all the way down, or trim gauges not working?

    I’m not 100% yet, port still might be hanging up. I’m going to go top it off again and see what it does. Both gauges are reading even now after I burned some fuel. Rinker replied to my email and gave me a part number of 240199A .

    This marine advisory was issued at 4:39 yesterday, we pulled into the slip at 4:31 😅. I still don’t think we would’ve had any issues if we were in the worst of it.
