    Build a Barge Workshop

    I believe so. The C4 wasn't out until '64, I think.

    Build a Barge Workshop

    Nothing you can see in terms of progress on the 'toon. We've been collecting some parts, grabbing hardware and figuring out painting the fence before we start reassemble. So, not much to see. But I mentioned the "pontoon-pause" to work on FIL's Mercury Comet. We wrapped up the brake rebuilt...

    Newby to boating

    That's a good lookin' boat. I've never heard of that one before. Definately not an ocean goer :) That's a loaded question. What are you planning on doing mostly? What type of seas are you typically going to be in? How are you keeping the boat (trailer / mooring)? And what is "affordable" to...

    My new cuddy, well sorta... Deck boat tent

    Let's not ask questions in a topic that has been dormant for a decade. Please take a few moments to read our forum rules. Closed.

    Newby to boating

    Welcome aboard: I'm not familiar with the boat you're referencing. Assuming that it's a typical competition style ski boat, I can't imagine it will perform well in the ocean. Maybe some more protected bays and inlets it might do okay, but not big water. Wrong style boat for that sort of thing.

    Adding a GPS unit to a bowrider

    I've got the same unit as JAS ^^^ but I have mine mounted on a RAM mount just under the dash. The screen peeks out to the lower left of the wheel - easier to see than it sounds.

    Tahoe Q5i VHF radio

    Also depends on where you're boating. Bigger waters (ocean, Great Lakes, etc.) may want a little higher line of sight on the antenna when off shore. On the lakes I run here in TN, the handheld is about as good because the hills kill line of sight anyway.

    What year is my Sea King

    Some information on Sea King HERE.

    What year is my Sea King

    Serial number starts with '61 - and that's as good a guess as any for the year the boat was made. Fits the style. What information are you trying to get specifically? Nice little boat. Welcome aboard.

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    We had a goat out on Priest for quite a while. I haven't seen him in years, but he was on the island over by Poole's Knob.

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    That's actually Hole in Wall Island on Percy Priest. Water is 80' deep where we are just off the shore. You can get the boat up the channel just a little before it shallows up on you. I've paddled through to the other side, which is kind of fun. People anchor off this island all summer and the...

    Lake Level up ... just a tad ...

    Lake level was low enough to launch. But still not normal. You can see in the parking lot how the water level was situated:

    Dock lighting and piling questions

    I haven't done a dock, but on my deck I bought some cheap solar powered, motion activated, LED lights. I bought cheap ones because I wasn't sure how well they'd work. Three years later they still work great. I'd consider trying 'em on a dock.

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    Speaking of being on the lake: we did the summer shake down cruise today. Water level is still up, but we could launch. Caught a couple of nice shots:

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    ^^^ Way to go! Saw a couple of great fish while the tournament was wrapping up at the lake today.
