    Say something on your boat breaks while in your slip and it sinks..are you covered??

    I just spent 30 mins on the phone w/ progressive.......the guy finally admitted that even though I pay them 171 a year (20 ft bayliner) that if my boat sinks at the dock due to a manufacturer defect (ie. I have an I/O and I hear the bellows usually crack and boats sink) there is NO coverage for...

    First time painting a clean fiber glass bottom.

    Do I sand it? Or do I use the "skip sand" thing from Pettit. I'd rather not sand it, but I need some one with more experience to give their two cents! http://www.jamestowndistributors.com/userportal/show_product.do?pid=6753

    Buying a boat instead of a house?

    So I'm 30 soon.......and I still don't own a house. I live right outside of New York City and I've been struggling with this question. I really REALLY love boats and the water. I've always wondered what it'd be like to live on a boat, rather then buy a house. Has anyone here ever done that...

    Why was my avatar Removed?

    WTF? I've had some stalkerish guy on this site following me around telling me to change my avatar - but he was just some regular member. Mods? Any clue as to why it APPEARS that someone removed my avatar? it was this but smaller, of course.
