    Oh that's not my house that is my cousins. He lives in the same town where I purchased the boat. I couldn't even pay the taxes on that joint let alone the mortgage.

    The Salty Dog Updated 4/30--Got 2 questions??? Latches and Charger??

    Well I spent 2 days cleaning the Dog, pics up tomorrow. I decided to replace all the decals as they are pretty beat up. I'm even going to replace the name with the same one. Where is everyone getting their "Quality" decals these days? I read a few old threads, a guy name Dave on Ebay, etc. Also...

    Is this a fix before it goes in the water.

    Yes I see that, it's interesting to see some of them start in the decal. Maybe we are looking at 2 different causes.

    Is this a fix before it goes in the water.

    Just read all the posts then looked at the photos again. It starts in the decal then works it's way down the side. If it was a gel coat crack it wouldn't have started in the decal. Definitely looks like an external scratch.

    Peter Jenkins -- Along The Edge Of America

    Bought it, Read it, passing it along. He travels the Gulf in a Grady Sailfish from the Keys to the Mexico Boarder. Interesting read, got a little slow when he was up river. Anyone who would like to read it, PM me, I'll mail it out. Book gone, passed on to Ron in Florida.

    Adventure with 150 HP

    Steve, How does the Adventure handle the Sound? Do you go out of it at all? Of course you have to pick your days, but overall good? I'll probably use the boat 90% in the Hudson and then maybe on vacation in LBI or Ocean City MD. That's why I was thinking Seafarer (plus the sink). ut the...
