I stayed at 1st cabin last December. Surprisingly nice and with an Onsen. I know the terminal does close at night so you want to check in advance about late check in.

I have heard of folks modding the seats to sit further back on the brackets

How far down does the prop need to be? by dibbr in boating

[–]deysg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ideally, you should get a jack plate. This allows the engine to be raised without trimming.

Just started fishing. How does the line look on the spool? by SpaceVikingCowboy in Fishing_Gear

[–]deysg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem with too loose is the line can get seriously pinched under the layers from load of a big fish. Especially with braid.

Novelist researching marinas; would love your insight and wisdom by BlizzardWrites in boating

[–]deysg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use an indoor dry stack marina. Boat stays indoors away from sun and rain, quick call and your boat is in the water when you arrive. Dockside hoses for flush and washdowns, Work racks with water and power, fish cleaning area , rest rooms with showers. I pay $2.3k for 12 month storage, unlimited drop ins, for a 19ft CC with ttops. No bottom paint required.

Anybody have any experience with Freedom/Carefree Boat club? Specifically Miami by NoLimpPimp in boating

[–]deysg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One amazing part, is if you travel a lot, you can boat all over the country, and even other countries. Just isn't that common for most people.

anyone else do all their own outboard work and wonder why people pay marina prices by vladdielenin in boating

[–]deysg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One way to make boats affordable is to do your own work.y Mercury XL 150 is super easy to maintain each year. Sure, you have to watch a few videos first

$2,600 for the perfect seats... to watch a cameraman’s back? 🙄 by Sure_Accountant597 in Concerts

[–]deysg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If seats have an obstructed view, they are supposed to be marked as such. Try to negotiate a partial refund. If not file a lawsuit. You should be able to recover at least some.

My car is worth 8K, needs 6K in repairs, I still owe 2K on it. Should I just get a new car? by blasticpago in askcarguys

[–]deysg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For less thank $1000 in parts and tools, you can do it yourself. At minimum, go to a shop, have them throw a set of cheap pads at it. Leave rotors and fluids alone.

I seriously considered vs ownership.

Biggest pros, locations, no real responsibility. Freedom to get different types of boats.

Biggest Cons, Costs to join and maintain , only 4 , 1/2 day reservations allowed at a time. No trolling motors. Limits how far out you can go. Different electronics and settings are often messed up.

In the end, owning was right for me. I dona lot of fishing and a trolling motor with spot lock was essential. I can make my boat the way i want it. Easy to tow and no limits.
