Sorry for the daft question. I am in the process of costing up an offer on a used boat. The nav kit needs replacing but I already have a whole load of ray marine g series kit, the only thing I don’t have is the radome. Question is, will the existing non digital, RD2182KW radome work wi

Hi all, it’s a long time since we last posted as we sold our Sealine F33 many years ago but I’m excited to say we are looking to take the plunge again :-) we have found a boat we like but it is in Corsica in the moment. We have been to see the boat and it is fair to say it needs some toc but...

Long long time since I've posted on here so apologies for first return post being a request for advice. For various reasons we sold our Sealine F33 last year but as suspected we can't cope with not having a boat! Long term we will buy another cruising boat but as a stop gap we are looking at...

We have long hed a yearning to trade up to a boat big enough to live aboard and recently we have given thought of moving from power to sail......... I am sure this has been asekd before but knowing nothing about sail boats I thought I would aek the learned folks on here what models you would...

As some of you know we have a bit of an issue with one of our engines at the tail end of last year. On a trip back from Chichester to our home mooring in Southampton one of the engines dropped a cylinder. We were just gettin up to speed when the port engine started to run rough so it was a...

We are looking to replace our tender, currently we have a 230 rib which is too small, I do not want another rib for weight reasons. What would the panel suggest looking at around the 290 mark with an inflatable floor/keel. Also any idea where I would get the best deal either new or second...

Blimmin\' tube wormy things! We decided it was time for a weekend away on our boat, Jim has been having too much time on the water while I have been at work so it was time for a break. Weather was looking a bit pants so a long trip was off to decided to trundle over Portsmouth way. Down the...

We have a eberspacher fitted to our Sealine F33, I think it is a D3, anyway, it does a good job of heating the boat most of the time but on realy cold nights it struggles a bit. The Boat has 3 main outlests in the cabins plus demisters fitted. What I have noticed is that it does a fantastic...

Heading out for the night yesterday and we spotted this Monster tug!!! Then it got a bit eerie! and the obligatory wake shot!! Would have take a piccy of Powerskipper on Alpha but could not fit all the fenders in shot!!!

I am trying to find a couple of mpegs that have been listed here in the past. One is the ship running agroung on the harbour breakwater and the other is the yacht going in front of the ship. If you have any other boaty type of mpegs that are similar I'd be interested in them too. Thanks Jim...
