I spotted something interesting of a recent issue of Sail Magazine, looks like a company called Ventura Sport Boats is getting ready to produce the Ventura 2300. Its very similar to the 26M/X boats.

I'm pretty sure you can download the detailed maps of the area you'll be running in Navionics.

Pretty much any tablet or smartphone with a GPS chipset should do, the only thing I run into is the displays are often not bright enough for sunny days, compared to regular chart plotters.

Also I believe the keel needs to be flooded to help it to go down since the one in my :macx: has a cavity in it, otherwise it wan...

Hello all, I've quietly lurking in the background for awhile, learning about all the things for my new to me 2000 :macx:. Anyhow there are several hitch manufacturers out there that do make front receiver hitches for most trucks and some SUV's. That definitely makes it easier to back trailers into t...
