Hello all... in theory, my boat is being built right now (was told December 14). So, now I have to shift into high gear to buy what I need to take delivery in spring. Right now, we're just buying the minimum for our delivery date; we can buy all the other stuff soon after... and when we determine exactly what we'll need. The dealer is supplying life-jackets, mooring lines, throw cushion, flare kit, SOS flag, rubber coated anchor with 100' line, battery, and fuel (are there any other Coast Guard requirements?).
To take delivery in our slip, we need to show up at the marina with fenders:
As I mentioned, there is LOTS of other stuff we'll buy once we get a feel for the boat. But, what else do we need for our maiden voyage and to tuck our boat into its slip? I don't want to be on the boat and realize we needed a critical item for that day. Thanks!
To take delivery in our slip, we need to show up at the marina with fenders:
- Can you let me know what size/length to buy for our 20' SLG? There are so many different widths and lengths (and costs).
- Do you use those quick clips that snap onto the rails with the pre-hung fender or do you have to adjust each time you hang them?
- What height should they hang in relation to the log?
- I want to get dark blue to match our fence. Dumb question, the color doesn't rub off on what it rubs against, does it?
