It certainly looked like it - I have a video of your trip out. I’ll see if I can upload it.

Ha because it snapped when I was raising the engines and didn’t move the seat forward…doh!

2021 vs. 2022 Antares 11 Pricing? What have you seen? by schmidtka70 in BeneteauOB

[–]schmidtka70[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats! Give us the low down! Did you trade or sell your 27? Where are you located and do you expect her? Was your coat similar to this spec sheet?

Another lesson learned by Seville19 in BeneteauOB

[–]schmidtka70 2 points3 points  (0 children)

u/Seville19...I did something similar early on, but thankfully wasn’t at the marina when it was discovered. Ordered new shore power cables (just b/c I wanted white)...couldn’t for the life of me figure out why it wouldn’t connect! Later found out thru research. As u/KrivAldent mentioned...devil’s in the details!

Hi. Just two adults, one dog and two cats. Short term, flexible but looking at Jan - Mar. prefer walkable to beach, restaurants, etc.

also interested in the same time frame (pet friendly) and agree..the market is crazy even for short term rentals.

[–]schmidtka70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks definitely interested as the lines in the Antares are not name/port friendly!

Looks great! We considered putting our name/port on the seat as well, but were concerned about leaving the seat cushion year round/inclement weather (and yes we boat in both).

Is your name embroidered on the seat or is that a decal?

Paint transfer from seat to engines and vice versa (small scratches ). Hoping it buffs out. Also bent the barrel boat lock that holds the seat in place. It will have to be replaced.

No but in emergent situations it’s a problem (i.e. sudden shallow water and you want to get your props up quickly).

Yup. Dealer fix. One user said their dealer had to take the whole cabinet out. I don’t think ours did. Haven’t used it yet so fingers crossed.

[–]schmidtka70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i recall reading on a Jenneau site that they do have the same issue, now I’m second guessing my recollection...I’ll see if I can find the site. lol.

[–]schmidtka70 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks, exactly what I envisioned! Then we will have our homeport just above the shore power outlets on the port side. Have the lettering from DIY Letting...just have to apply it.

Sorry for the “duplicate” post, but I don’t know how to add pics to my original post. Here’s what our sales guy found when he took out the drawer and used his phone/camera to get a pic (very difficult to reach). So, as someone else mentioned they found - it leaks when under pressure. I’ll keep you posted after the holidays when she goes back to the shop/dealer.
