Re: Boat Cover

Tom

Agree with all your logic on cleaning and waxing boat. Did you pull trigger on this boat cover?

If so are you happy with the cover. I am also considering.

Re: Economic indicator - almost no slips in Michigan City

We have been on the wait list since 2007 at Washington Marina. Since then we have been at South Haven MI. Even if we get the call from Michigan City, we will probably stay over in MI. Agree with previous poster; Much nicer area with way more to do over there.

Re: Dry Head vs Traditional Porti-P

The overall height of the unit seems pretty high. How is overall head room in the M. Not much room there with regular 5 gallon PP.

Re: BLISTERS

I barrier and bottom coated my 07M when it was new before it hit the water. I left about a 1.5" white stripe below the black boot stripe for appearence reasons. Becasue of the M being bow heavy, a 5 foot section of the white stripe at the bow Is slightly under water. I had no problems the first...

Re: Stereo Recommendations

Leon: My wife and I also have to listen to good quality sound and a stereo was the first mod I did on my 2007 M. I installed a Pioneer car Stereo in the floatation pocket above the mirror with a port to plug in IPod and Sirrius port (did not bother with a AM/FM antenna). I installed outdoor home (we...

Re: I have blisters - thousands of them

I just pulled my 2007 M (hull 1644) out of Lake Michigan last Sunday. It sits in the water from mid May to Mid October for the last two summers. Before it ever went in the water last year I put two coats of Interlux barrier coat and anti fouling paint on. I left a 1.5 inch gap of white stripe betwee...

I bought mine from Overtons for my 26M. I do not have the model number, but I followed the advise of Parretthead (i believe it was him) a member on the board. If you search the archives you should be able to find his posting and he gives the model number for the one at Overtons. You can order in Sum...

I was at the Chicago boat show yesterday. There was no Hunter 26 Power Sailor, only the Hunter 25.

We bought a Sirius radio last spring. We just have the standard $49 special with the car kit (we a have a home kit as well). It is mounted in the cabin using the car kit and plugged into the Pioneer stereo installed in the cabin. I wire straight into the aux jack on the stereo so I do not have to us...

I painted my 07M this spring. I left one inch between the black stripe and the bottom paint. I to thought the white stripe between to blacks would look nice. It does on the trailer and did unitil the scum build up starts and then it actually looks worse. It is also a lot of work to clean that 1 inch...

Although not a fun task, emtying the porta potty is not as bad as I originally thought. I also like the idea of the composter (except for the price) that Eric has, but according to my measurements it is 3 inches higher than the 5 gallon porta potty. In the M, its a tight fit on the shelf without giv...

It is our first year in the marina we are at in South Haven Michigan. We are up the Black River from Lake Michigan and there are many boats sitting on or near bottom right now. Some boats have had to pull out earlier than normal. A couple owners of the big boats say they will likely have to get pull...
