Had the opportunity to launch on Hamilton hardour last weekend.. What a terrific facility! Completely free launch that is very large, clean and well maintained. Excellent concrete ramp and wood and metal docks. Toured out around the harbour a little, more into the industrial areas out of curiousities sake.. Got to go right up to HMCS Hieda - a permanently docked naval ship. Is it ever big from down at the water line... I've been on it before as a tour. There was also a couple of mobile ...
Hi everyone I am a new owner of a 2001 Maxum 3500scr, have had it since November 2010 and brought it to The Pittwater near Sydney, Australia. We bought it from San diego and my wife and I love it. It needed new bimini, Clears and outside upholstery that is all done now and the boat looks fantastic. I have a marine services business with 4 workshops around Sydney so repair costs are kept to a minimum. I have fitted it out with Complete Garmin Navigation system and it really compliments the boat. ...

After many years of thinking about a boat my wife and I recently jumped in an bought a 1700SR. We live near the river in an area that is too shallow for anything but a canoe or similar. So a smaller boat that is easily trailered was important. First few trips out were uneventful other than quite a bit of learning to get it on the trailer straight and level. Quite a challenge sometimes as the one launch we used is apparently surrounded by some real !?#?@?#@$... Right as we are putting it up they ...
This past weekend was my first trip of 2011 with the Lottie-Da into salt water and we had a fantastic time. On Saturday, we took my brother and his son out to hang out on the sandbar in Hereford's Inlet and had a great time. We went out into the Delaware Bay, then into the ocean and around Cape May Point where we saw a dozen or so dolphins playing near the boat. The kids were stoked! After that, we headed back into Cape May Harbor and up the intercoastal to Hereford's Inlet where ...
