Practical Tips

[claymore]

The PBO forum has a request from Dick Everitt saying how much they would like people to send in practical tips. I wondered how long it would be before he ran out of ideas. Anyway - why hasn't he asked us? Does he think we're all Impractical Marina Dwellers who can't invent anything ourselves?
Its an outrage.
Humph!

Heating for boats, perhaps?

Or, fitting a pontoon protector plate to the bow?

Re: One tip is..

Save your annual subscription to PBO and buy your boat a present each year.

Is that the sort of thing they want?

Only Joking.
