In a word, YES in our application!

As jdub said "it would get extremely warm in direct sunlight".

We felt it was too hot. It was certainly much hotter than an uncovered (white) deck next to it; in direct sunlight. Not in the...

mcourson is absolutely correct!

I would go one step further and go to the office where you will do your paperwork and tell them what you have coming. While the state does set down procedures, many of the offices have their own...

I have been around many hard grounders.

I would challenge there is more going on here then just a simple hard grounder.

If it were simply a grounder, the stern should not be at such an angle. In normal circumstances, the stern would be...

Please respond to this request sent to OSO editor(s).

Salutations,
It seems as though recently there have been a number of lost souls involved in all of the boating industry, but especially in performance/offshore/racing interests.

How hard would it...

Finally, wisdom has been spoken by Indy and F3504x4xps!

While the wording might vary a bit from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, the basic regulation is uniform throughout.

Before this become part of the conversation!

In legalese, the phrase "NO WAKE ZONE" means it is a speed zone. Like many others I have had boats which created virtually no wake at full or near full throttle. Not permitted!

Just for a reference point!

I have no idea what it is actually worth. Likely no one knows. As a wise man once said "... the fair market price of anything is what a willing buyer and a willing seller agree upon."

Like you, I prefer stern in docking.

Maybe for a different reason. I like the ease of loading the boat and if sitting on the boat at the dock, seems to be closer to the "action".

I would think on a lift, reversing into the slip you...

I can't adequately tell you how much I appreciate it!

Many people think all those little, insignificant, nonsensical, trivial tidbits of information are unimportant.

Again, thanks to You!

Not that I disagree with you...

My guess is mid to late 40's...

...I think!

Water skiing was invented in 1922, the hotel in the background was built around 1930.

Looking at the boats, the lines remind me of the late 40's, but there really aren't great...

A previous paranoid neighbor paid a few $100 for security!

When the lift company installed the unit, he had them add about 5 feet to the top of the verticals. Seldom was he away, but when he was, he lifted the boat to the top.

He had motion detectors with...

My vote is a tentative yes

I do not mind OSO using the membership list for their own promotions as long as:
1. They do not sell the list
2. They have an opt-out provision
3. What they are offering are truly deals.

Won't...
