    Concerned neighbor (and the greatest thread hijack ever)

    New boat

    We welcome the (newly named) "Motley Crew" to the family! Our 290 Sundancer was truly a piece of art but we outgrew it. We're absolutely loving the 3788! This one taken in Tod Inlet (Vancouver island). The previous 2 pics were at Sidney island. 3 kids and 2 cousins... we had an awesome day!!

    Cruising along and then BANG!

    I was out for the one of my first trips yesterday. It was a warm, perfectly calm, sunny afternoon. The speedo was right at 30 mph... the music was on... the sun beaming on my neck and shoulders... I guess I was daydreaming a bit too. Then it happened... BANG! I could feel it in my seat! Then...

    What to do until the boating weather returns;

    Is he cute or what? The big crash. He was seeing how far he could make it up the little hill... not sure what 40 - 70 had to do with it :):)

    swapping long blocks?

    I'm not planning to do this but I was just pondering potential issues with replacing the 305 mpi short block with a 383 short block. Physically it's a direct bolt it... no exhaust issues, mounting, I'm sure the fuel pumps are adequate... Would the ECM need a different calibration or maybe a...

    Sticky Volvo steering

    '07 5.7 gxi / dps with power steering (100 hours). It seems fine other than when you first go to move the wheel in either direction there's a little 'stiff' spot. Having it like that makes it difficult to steer when it's choppy. After it 'breaks free' of its tight spot its one finger...

    What would you ask?

    A fella has offered me a 2007 Campion 705 sport cuddy / 5.7 / DP 100 hrs. and cash for my boat. I'm moving into a 280-290 Sundancer in the spring and wouldn't mind having a boat in the off season. How much cash difference? I can't find many 705's for sale that new. Keep in mind it'll be sold...

    Boat trade plus cash... opinions please

    I'm moving into a bigger boat next spring (280 or 290 Sundancer) and have mine for sale. I was going to go without a boat until then but I'm too addicted to floating around to not have a boat... even for the winter! I've been offered a trade plus cash for mine. Mine is a 2006 Sea Ray 240...

    Polishing SS props for Bravo 3

    I've seen some beautiful polished props for the Bravo 3. Does anyone know for sure if this is this an 'asthetics-only' improvement or does it actually get you some economy or speed or something? They're definitely nice to look at...

    Importing a boat from the US to Canada

    I just brought a boat back so I thought I'd post what I had to do. I read a pile of conflicting advice online so here ya' go; The trailer is treated as a vehicle so you have to follow those guidelines which means you'll need the registration, title, bill of sale and a copy of the sales agreement...
