Re-Insurance
We finally have Insurance. State Farm wrote the policy. The downside is that we have very limited Bahamas coverage at this time. The upside is that it was relatively inexpensive.

Tramps
Ed,
We have the vinyl coated product from Sunrise. Bought them 4 years ago while we were in Baltimore. So far we are very pleased with them.

Dry Lube
Try "Sailkote" dry lube, sold at marine stores. (There are a lot of other products out there too. Most are silicone based with a solvent that evaporates, and all are marked "dry lube" on the can.)

Dry Lube
As a former lubricants engineer, I concur 100%. Dry lube will work great and will not retain water, salt, or dirt. You probably should blow out the track with an airgun or air can before you lube, and an occasional cleaning ot the track with a rag & acetone will help also (make sure the acetone ...

Cost
I think it was about $3600, but that was 3 years ago, so I'm sure the costs have gone up. (Folks in Annapolis wanted over $8000 at that time). Call Mr. Conway, I'm sure he will give you a quote.

Insurance
Our carrier in Florida (St. Paul/Travelers) is dropping all coverage for boats over 10 years old, over $100,000 in value, or located in Florida. Since we live here year round, with the boat in our backyard, relocating it is not practical. Who is writing marine policies in Florida? Since we have a mo...

Under Table
We modified the floorboards under the table for greater storage. I don't recommend adding anymore weight aft in the LRC.

Bridge
Sam,
The width of a bridge is the dimension from side to side of the bridge itself, standing upon it (rail to rail). The dimension which you are thinking of is the span (or length) from one side of the canal to the other, and is far wider than 6 feet.

Okeechobee
Sam & Gina, We have done it twice. The railraod bridge is 49 feet (about 6 feet wide). Our antennas touch with a mast 47 feet above the water. The Lockmaster at the east side of the lake (Port Mayaca Lock) can tell you if the lake is at normal pool or if it is high. Be sure and call him before y...

Arch
We had an arch built in Deltaville, VA, designed for the PDQ (we have an LRC). Len Scharf, former owner of ANAGYRI knows the gentleman who built it: Conway Boat Building 804-693-4518
