OK I will start by introducing myself. My name is Scott and I have a 2003
MAXUM 3300 SE. I purchased this boat new at the end of the 2003 season
and
had it splashed for the very 1st time in April 2004. It has twin 5.7L
Merc.
350's rated at 250 HP each with Bravo 3 drives.It had every available
option
except a generator and the navigation electronics, which is fine for me
because Maxum uses Raymarine equipment and I prefer Garmin. So i had the
generator installed and added a Tracvision 4 in motion satellite tracking
system and a Garmin 3006C color chartplotter with the GDL-30 XM satellite
weather receiver.This thing is awesome. I can see live weather radar
on my
chartplotter in real time and get up to the minute weather forecasts.
I love
my boat and how I equipped it. I cruise on the Potomac River and
Chesapeake
Bay. How about everyone else? Where do you boat and what kind of boat
do you
have? I am new to this group but hope I will fit in. Scott.

This is a boat newsgroup not politics, so can we keep the discussion to
boats only please?



Lets go. You start.






34ft very old clinker hulled full cabin cruiser, 65Hp diesel power,
does 9-10 kts flat out & cruises 6-7 kts on 1 ltr/nautical mile. Most
of the home comforts, no installed genset but carry a petrol unit (2 KVA
way too noisy!!! wish it were one of those new Hondas:-))

The boat has been in the family a long time & is much loved by many,
family & strangers alike:-) But like all old friends; has some off days:-)

Mostly protected cruising waters with occasional coastal hops to new
grounds. The coastal runs are planned around the weather.

snip 'lie of the day'
Hey Karen,

How about you sink the 'lie of the day' in deep water?
Its not doing you any favours :-(

Personally I'd understand if you used it in threads that were allready
way OT in a non-boating direction or if you were directly responding to
the 'Real' H. Krause. Others may differ.

OnT content:

Boat's an Albacore as per sig. I also crew for various yachties.
Wrench on the club safety boat OBs and my own seagulls.
I do mostly day sailing and coastal cruising in Stingo. Camp ashore if I
have to but am 'soft' so prefer B&B :-)
Handicap racing mostly in the club Wayfarer right through the winter on
a fairly tricky tidal bit of the river Thames.

I strongly reccomend everyone here who actually floats a boat submits a
photo to the 'Boats of rec.boats' site.
