    Dolphin 14 Ft Sailboat

    I called them. I will not be getting the boat or any boat without a title unless it is under 14 ft. Very sad.

    Dolphin 14 Ft Sailboat

    I went to look at the boat! BEAUTIFUL! I will pick it up Saturday. Questions...its 16 ft. No title. We are in Texas. He received it as payment for work done. I have the haul # And the trailer plate #. What do I need to do? I want to make sure I follow laws.

    Dolphin 14 Ft Sailboat

    Sounds about right. This is only for me and my husband. Why on earth is there not any detailed info about this boat? There aren't that many videos either?? I am going to try to do some research. I don't want to buy with so many unknowns. It seems as though this is a bigger Dolphin sailboat. Im...

    70's IMP Aztec 20' Length

    I found one that needs restoration. I haven't bought it. I'm researching first. One thing I haven't been able to find are pics of the inside cabin. I'd like to see the inside. I need a visual idea of what I'm in store for before I make a decision. Does anyone have one that they restored? If...

    Older Boats

    I will be taking a boating course. There's a lot I don't know. And the size of the boat is iffy. 12 ft can easily be flipped. Which is why I ask questions and research. I saw a video of someone in a dinghy. That looked a bit scary. And as much as I would love a 14 ft boat, I think I'm going to...

    Older Boats

    Now that we are on the subject of wooden boats. What should I look for? I might go look at one next weekend if its still available. Its 12 ft long. Its a kit that was put together. A reminder, I will be hugging the gulf coast.

    Older Boats

    I've found a couple wooden boats. They really do interest me. Its what I prefer actually. I'm familiar with wood. My tiny travel trailer is made out of wood. Easy to work on. It is homemade. I didnt build it. I bought it for $500 and fixed it up. We took it all along the Gulf coast. One boat...

    Older Boats

    I prefer older. Engines seem simpler. How much older I'm willing to go depends on how work intensive it will be. I'm always up for a good project though. I just finished my homemade travel trailer. I didn't build it, I just fixed it up and did repairs. However, as for a boat...something new to...

    Older Boats

    As I am looking for a boat, I have seen a couple older 1960's boats. I like these. They arent too long. I dont mind repainting it, or replacing the chairs and some carpet. I can work with wood. What I am curious about are the outboard motors. The few boats I have seen need an outboard motor and...

    Renting A Boat

    I passed this by hubby. Perfect idea!! Neither of us has driven a boat before. We have been on a boat. But have never driven one. We are doing our homework. What should we start off with?

    What To Get?

    $70,000 KAYAK??? wth??? I have a kayak i paid $80 for. Its inflatable due to storage space availability. And I paid $150ish for my inflatable paddle board. I understand paying extra for quality. But Geez! Im hoping that number is extremely exaggerated!

    What To Get?

    Yes!It has changed. It may change as I research. I looked for my jeep for over year. Longer with my travel trailer. I need to make sure what I get fits my needs. Picking and choosing wants and needs as well! LOL! Having anyone other than myself, my husband and dog will be rare. And I am...

    What To Get?

    Thank You All! So yes! This will be our first boat! I have thought about lessons. Especially for sailing. It will be mainly my husband and I with the dog. Kiddos and family will join us on occasion. But that will be for short periods of time. Hubby and I will probably do the short overnighter...

    What To Get?

    I am looking for a boat that can go on the lake, river (deep rivers), and ocean. Being in Texas, we have access to all 3! So I am really at a loss as to what we can buy that we can use on all 3? I see the motor boats with the cuddy? cabins. The pontoon boats. John Boats. Sail Boats. Electric...

    Adding A Sail

    I have seen a morized boat with steering that also had a sail. Is it possible to add a sail to a motorized boat? Is it safe to do so? Im in the research stage. Its the only motorized boat Ive seen with a sail. So curiousity got me. And it is exactly what I was looking for. WIth the small cabin...

    Boat Engines

    I didnt know where to post this. Correct me if need be. I have been looking at some boats. The engines all need something. I dont know much about engines. I know about a few parts. Some are cheap and hard as heck to swap out. Some are expensive and easy to swap out. A majority just seem to be...

    HI! New Here!

    The boats I have seen have been less than 20'. That seems doable. So the 14' requirement has changed. I have seen them with a small cabin surprisingly. Nothing fancy. Just a couch in the cabin. I can stick a porta potty and cooler or solar fridge in the couch storage.
