    What search light to buy

    Hi, I am currently looking to buy a search light. I am not looking to spend over 200 dollars. I will mainly use it to entertain my two children on overnight stays on the boat. I dont like traveling on the water at night even if I have a light, so it wont really be used for that. I have been...

    88 Ebbtide transom repair.

    Well it looks like the bad transom gremlin has visited me also. I have a 22-1/2 foot Ebbtide with a Cuddy cabin.

    I need some opinions please.

    First thing I would like to say is this is a great forum, very informative. I recently purchased a 1989 Ebbtide 224 Catalina Cuddy. I got this boat for 2000 dollars. I feel for the condition this boat is in it is well worth it. The original interior is spotless no tears, stains, broken pieces...
