I have a 2003 Doral 250 SE (pic attached). The swim platform is quite large, approximately 3-4' off the transom - I've been entertaining the idea of underwater LED lights but am unsure exactly of what power/kind/quantity to get.

What are the opinions out there about shrink wrapping a boat vs. indoor heated storage in the great lakes area. With heated storage you can often gain access to your boat to work on it, but are there any other pro's to keeping a boat in heated storage rather than just shrink wrapping...
I have a Doral 250 SE with a 5.7l Volvo penta DP outdrive. I took a small chunk out of my skeg... I am debating on fixing the skeg via welding (qualified welder) against putting a skeg guard on. Does anyone have any feedback on these skeg guards? Obviously it's easier to put a skeg guard on...
What is the best adhesive to use for gluing the plastic support/swing arm to the glass hatch cover? In my cabin, the support arms that are used to prop the glass hatch open have come off, the adhesive that was previously used has dried up and failed and I now need to reattach the support to the...
Thought I would start a new thread on this... what are the primary differences between vertical and horizontal windlass? Is one better in any particular situation? I am looking to outfit a 250 Doral SE with a windlass unit, and am looking for feedback on what model/make and design would be...

Thanks.
