recommendation

I am in the process of buying a 1980 Ericson 30 Plus in San Pedro. It's time to get a surveyor. The seller's broker recommended Gary Beck, Matt Shulz and Clark Barthol. Another broker suggested Rick Gorman. Any recommendations among the four or others in the OC, South LA County area? Thanks...

Anybody have a recommendation for a good boat yard in Anacortes, Washington. I know there aren't too many to choose from but I'd like to hear if anyone has had good (or bad) experiences with any of them. Any comments would help.

I'm starting to analyze the various chartplotters available today and narrow the choice down to what will best suit my needs. I like the Garmin brand but many of them have constraints relative to distance from the compass. Also, they don't have pre-loaded charts for both the US Great Lakes AND...

Hello All, I am looking to have a set of custom engine pulleys made. The machinist would like to know what type of aluminum would be best for a marine environment. He has suggested 7075 T7 or 7050 but he's not a marine guy so he suggested I ask around to make sure I get what I need. I know...

hello all, i'm about to replace all of my canvas covers on my e29. i wanted to know if someone could recommend a reputable internet shop. thanks

Howdy, I should be the proud owner of an E32-2 in < 2 weeks. I still don't know if I believe it! I'm very excited. A friend of mine has his boat at Alameda Marina, and they have a spot for me, but they just jacked the rates up to $7.50/foot/month. It is an ok marina, but not the nicest...

Forgot to ask this on my last post... any recommendations on bottom paint? She is in pretty good shape and we just will need to lightly sand and re-apply. Also - what color looks the coolest? Her hull is white with navy blue and green stripe. Thanks!

This will be one of undoubtedly many, many postings on questions for our new Ericson 32... and our first real boat! Our mast head light was broken in transport... anyone have a recommendation for a replacement? Preferrably something we can order or pick-up at a local store. Are there...

I'm posting this in the Southern California forum as well. We try to be DIYers as much as possible, but I think it's time to admit defeat and hire an electrician to redo the wiring for our diesel repowering. Does anyone know of a good electrician in the San Pedro/Wilmington/Long Beach area...

The 2 blade factory fixed prop just is not pushing my boat through strong chop and current, where it cavitates and the boat looses steerage due to no forward speed over rudder. I looked into a Maxprop 3 blade feathering and the shop recommended 15" diameter, 9'' pitch, 1'' shaft. The cost to buy...
