  1. Ill take em Glen. I will send a PM.
  2. I think it really depends on the boat. Make sure if you add to them do it even. If you go 3 inches horizontal, you do the same vertical. I don't need them on my 36 Tiara. The factory rudders more than suffice. However, it can also be autopilot related. The Simrad in my opinion is the best autopilot on the market. Reaction time of the pilot is everything.
  3. Phil, you are right on the money here... It is going to get interesting..
  4. I second the Boga grip with a rope. Unless its a long copper fish they will swim away 98% of the time.
  5. I hope someone from that area is attending and can report back to us. I don't get warm fuzzy's from this one.
  6. Check out the Sea School website. They usually schedule classes in upstate NY for the winter time. They may not have the schools posted yet.
  7. Thank you to everyone who came out last night. It was a good turnout. Lots of great information shared.
  8. Meeting is open to the public Wednesday, June 21 at 7pm. Mexico VFW. DEC will be present to answer questions and give us current information on Lake Ontario. This is your chance to voice your opinion. See you all there! Brian
  9. This is a complicated question. Is it in saltwater year round? (Basically anything south of Jersey). The northern climate salt vessels have the same layup period that our boats do. Does the boat run into brackish or freshwater after its use? Is it flushed, washed and lift kept? Salt air will penetrate everything. You may chase wiring issues forever. Corrosion on all finishes. That being said you can find good boats in salt environments. My Tiara was in Cape Cod for 3 years. You can't tell it was in salt. It was well cared for and was only exposed for 3 years. The best advice I can give is have a thorough survey done by a qualified Marine Surveyor and be present when he does it. Hope this helps.
  10. Definitely check your pulley on the rigger. Run a cotton swab on it and see if there is any burrs.
  11. Dowie Dale in Mexico NY. Not sure if they have slips available and you better have a big set to get in and out of there cut when its rough but its doable. I know quite a few guys who run out of there.
