  1. If 2% of that number need disposal in one year, that's 28 boats. 20k per boat is 560,000.
  2. Increasing costs, Increasing bureaucracy ( its almost impossible to anchor in Florida now). And the character or the cruising fleet is very different now.
  3. Fact is you don't " need" anything. Everything else is optional.
  4. Again, anyone who has the desire to go offshore cruising, go now as the window is closing rapidly.
  5. Increased Cruising Permit Fees - Bahamas’ New Rules Take Effect July 1 - Southern Boating https://share.google/TCJcKPUxKN1EGz9tt

  7. Thanks, I'll check it out.
  8. Bought the outboard for peanuts on trade me.
  9. They lost me with the first paragraph OpenPlotter Tool kit to be used as navigational aid in small and medium-length boats. It can be installed as a Raspberry OS disk image or by parts on your favourite Debian-based Linux distribution. We offer some Raspberry OS images with the most used applications installed and configured but you can also customize your image with the OpenPlotter À la Carte tool.
  10. 1) for the mechanics. I have replacement 4hp 4 stroke yamaha. The old one always started on the second pull. This one on the 7th. Do I have to live with this. 2) my favorite chart plotter app (mx mariner) is no more. What would you replace it with. Preferably free. Preferably able to download nz charts, free. And easy to use.
  11. I use sailboat all the time. I prefer it to yacht as it is more precise.

  14. That's where I'm heading. The alternative is bigger , heavier, and involves a lot more boatbuilding. Batteries are going too (agm) so similar decisions there.
