Hi everyone , any members in Antigua ? wondering about Catamaran Marina . If you have any info could you please private message me . Thanks , Dave Cook

Ideal size would be 32- 35 ft with a 12-13 ft beam . I have been looking at a pleasure boat ,extended summer cruising ( anchor out mostly ) . Not looking for '' yacht '' finish , just comfortable , clean and low maintenance ( no outside teak ) . Wife likes to go fast ( 15-20 ) I don't mind 8-10...

I am now in the market for a new boat ( I had the Ranger Tug repaired - my cost - and have sold it , thanks everyone for your help on that matter ) . I have been looking at the Cape Islander and Northumberland designs . Looking at used models like Samson , Provincial , Doucette , Donelle etc (...

I had a boat shop come to look at my hull of the Ranger Tug today . His opinion to repair is a modified outside repair . He believes the amount of interior shell to cut out would be more time and money than the gain would be . Please give me your opinion on this repair idea and what price tag a...

Thank you for the reply .
