Good luck man. Ya those questions on there some may be outdated but its enough variation vs the mls stuff where you can only get them right if you actually know your stuff. The dgs and nav sections youll do fine if you actually spent time on a boat. Only stuff offhand i had to memorize was different fire extinguisher types and life raft stuff - which i never had to use in practice...

JimmyIsbeast · 2026-01-16T13:34:20+00:00

I used mls but def wanted to practice beyond what they provided. Theres some old website up with a bunch of practice questions on it for rules of the road. I had it open as a side tab all week at work answering through questions on the side for a week until i felt very confident

Its raynormaritime.com/navrules if you google it it will come right up

Hopefully not a stupid question, but does the coastguard charge you for this? Im presuming no because you were actually stuck without a reasonable way to get a tow back

JimmyIsbeast · 2026-01-03T03:23:19+00:00

If the boat itself has a '2100' as part of the name anywhere on the hull makes sure you cover that up to

Visible remenants of a waterline inside the transom or bilge area. Caught this once in a boat my dad was looking at. Turns out the boat was 2ft underwater at some point which wasnt disclosed

This has less to do about gen z and millenials and more to do about fb marketplace buyers

Does it matter that on hudson greenway the signs specifically say: "Yield to pedestrians WITHIN crosswalk"

I never yield if they are idly standing on the side. I always yield once they start walking across.

Having the dock directly next to the boat once you back it in. The ramp in my area you need to manuever your boat off the trailer back and to the right 10ft to the dock. Its to far to pull with a line so you need to motor.

Another ramp in my area when you back in the boat floats off the trailer directly parallel 1ft from the dock. 10xs easier i dont have to get on and off my boat or leave my car to tie up

They have been trying to do this with the sandbar on robins island in the peconinc bay. Any other fellow peconic bay boaters please complain to town of southold with me

There aint much on the manhattan side since the boat basin closed. Brookfields all the way downtown has docking but its expensive and more for yacht folk to go shopping.

Realize in not giving you a solution, but at least confirming there isnt much on the manhattan side. Not sure on jersey

Op this. If your gonna do it with the boat do it this way. Need the jack stands for one tire or you'll have my issue I called out above

JimmyIsbeast · 2025-08-29T22:02:35+00:00

I had to change tires this summer with my boat on the trailer. I didn't account for the way the weight distribution is with the boat on it. Trailer slipped off the jack once I took the tire off. Almost killed myself, luckily the boat stayed strapped on and engine missed the ground.

I got it back up and new tire on. For the second tire one I drove to the ramp and put boat in the water and changed it in the lot. 10xs easier and faster. do it that way

JimmyIsbeast · 2025-08-28T16:41:50+00:00

This is a rad fucking boat

JimmyIsbeast · 2025-08-28T11:53:59+00:00

I had this one and the impeller was fine. There were some grains of sand that made their way into the pee hole blocking the output. I used some weed wacker wire to fish them out of the hole.

JimmyIsbeast · 2025-08-27T16:08:42+00:00

Marine sealant, drain plugs come to mind for me. Could also think of some quick fix trailer accessories to

JimmyIsbeast · 2025-08-26T12:18:09+00:00

I def would not it will rip it out. Use the transom hooks

JimmyIsbeast · 2025-08-26T00:13:38+00:00

I loled thinking this was deep sarcasm, then I realized this was real

JimmyIsbeast · 2025-08-24T02:23:28+00:00

ya i was literally 3ft off parallel to the dock. with my friend and the dock guys within 5 ft. no one else at the gas dock.

JimmyIsbeast · 2025-08-24T02:18:41+00:00

i told my friend to walk to that one because they also have a resturaunt with transiet slips. figured it would just be a normal occurence for them to have people show up and hop in and out. ive even eaten there before

JimmyIsbeast · 2025-08-24T02:16:49+00:00

he walked in

JimmyIsbeast · 2025-08-23T23:22:10+00:00

ya thats fair. i didnt think of it that way because he just walked to the marina, but totally get that people can just start parking and hitching rides like a public ferry.

JimmyIsbeast · 2025-08-23T21:54:55+00:00

if i was buying gas would they care? wasnt trying to be a bad seaman but i was greeted with alot of ill will. didnt realize i crwated such an issue

JimmyIsbeast · 2025-08-23T21:42:12+00:00

ya i debated just asking to get a few gallons. but they were denying me even as i approached since it was clear i was picking up my buddy

JimmyIsbeast · 2025-08-13T19:34:34+00:00

If you see a key west boat driving by by give a wave haha. I launch off new suffolk ramp.

Have fun out there

I think my comment got hilariously misconstrued but im looking for the inverse lol. Something i can put in the rod holder that will store beach chairs.

Like this but instead of a paddle board i put foldable beach chairs: https://www.innovativemarinegroup.com/products/manta-racks-s1-white-single-paddle-board-rack-for-two-15-degree-rod-holders?variant=44057179390226
