Selling Your Boat? Emphasize Accessory Gear
One of the pleasures in buying a used boat is knowing that previous owners have absorbed most of the depreciation. Another is knowing that they’ve added accessory gear and equipment that you now won’t have to add yourself. So if you’re selling, put the shoe on the other foot and make sure potential buyers are aware of the value you’ve added in your time of ownership.
How To Paint a Boat: A Comprehensive Guide
Boats lead a rugged life, even if they don’t go out that much. They bake in the sun, get soaked by the rain (often polluted rain), get frozen and thawed, chafe for months at a time against docks and fenders, get pulled up on trailers and beaches, hit rocks and logs and all sorts of other hard objects, and float in a watery zoo of plants and animals that want very much to attach themselves to the boats’ bottoms and go along for the ride.
NADA Guides: Pricing A Used Boat Accurately
Maybe you’re upgrading or maybe you’re downsizing, but either way, along with the boats.com Boat Buyer's Guide and the Boat Seller's Guide, you’ll probably think about referencing the NADA Guides. Except that today, they aren't called NADA Guides anymore — J.D. Power purchased the Guides several years ago, and then retired the brand. Today they're the J.D. Power Boat Prices and Values Guide. Other than the name the guide is essentially the same.
How to Winterize a Small Outboard
It’s not difficult winterizing outboard motors, and small models can be done in an afternoon. Let’s say you run your small outboard in salt water all summer and don’t flush it as often as you should during the season. (For some of us who leave our boats floating the whole time in a spot with no freshwater supply, that means never.) In this case it’s important to give it a good freshwater flush, maybe with salt-remover like Salt-X, before you winterize it.
Get Your Boat Ready: Spring Commissioning Checklist
Category: Boating | 5 Min Read Spring is an exhilarating time for boaters located in the haul-out-and-hold-on zones of the chilly north, and many are affected by the common boating spring fever. After the winter weather subsides, numerous boaters commence the process of preparing their boats for the spring season by organizing their equipment in garages and workshops.
Buying a Used Boat: 5 Critical Things to Look For
Since the early days of fiberglass boat construction, techniques for making boats strong and leak-resistant — and cheaper and easier to build — have advanced steadily. The accepted method for most boats today is to mold the hull, deck, and possibly an interior pan, as separate units, often with tabs, stringers, bulkhead reinforcements, and other components included. The hull is equipped with what it needs like fuel tanks, water tanks, plumbing and electrical lines, and so forth.
Visiting a Boat Show? Make a Game Plan
Category: Boating | 6 Min Read Whether you plan on buying a new boat or just viewing hull after hull of gleaming fiberglass, one of the best things you can do to stave off the winter doldrums and start getting psyched for the next boating season is to visit a boat show. You’ll get that kid-in-a-candy-store feeling, and you’ll have fun no matter what. But you’ll have more fun if you do some prep work ahead of time.
Grimké Seminary from a Student’s Perspective
If you’re anything like me, the thought of attending a newly established seminary raises many questions. With so many seminaries across the church landscape, what need is there for one more? What would the seminary be devoted to, and what type of academic environment could a few founding pastors hope to cultivate? These and others were the questions roaming through my head as I agreed to take a chance on Grimké Seminary as part of its inaugural class (Master of Theological Studies degree).
'To an Unknown God': How Christians Can Press Into Thorny and Divisive Issues Today
ShareTweetPinPocketFlipboard A popular phrase circles Christian culture like a vulture: “Be in the world, but not of the world.” For some, this phrase has allowed us to remain distanced from the hard issues people all around us face. Of course, Jesus’ message surrounding a similar idea was more nuanced: “They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world” (John 17).
Church Planting in Inner-City Contexts: Three Tensions to Navigate
ShareTweetPinPocketFlipboard There is a misnomer in church planting, and it’s this: inner-city church planting is just a subset of the broader church planting movement. These inner-cities are sections of major cities that have neighborhoods with pockets of people with high concentrations of poverty, violence, drug dealing/addiction, illiteracy, and single-parent homes, and they are often called marginalized.
Fact vs. fiction: Getting to the bottom of what Arizona 'audit' leaders claimed
Posted Jul 20, 2021, 7:58 am Jerod MacDonald-Evoy Arizona Mirror Leaders of the Arizona Senate's election review made claims last week that have roiled right-wing media outlets and bolstered claims from Trump supporters that there is definitive evidence of election fraud in the state. But several of those claims were swiftly debunked, and others were unsupported by any evidence and have been refuted by elections officials.
Landfill mining may still be new, but it has a lot to offer
The following is a contributed piece and does not reflect an editorial position by Waste Dive. Information on what that entails and how you can submit is available here. Landfills are a flawed but necessary part of the current waste management process. Until we can greatly diminish our production of non-recyclable waste, they will be needed for its management and disposal.

The Focused Leader: Keeping the Mission as the Ultimate Goal
Leadership is essential for success in life, church, ministry, and business. I’ve asked some leaders I know and respect to write about several important aspects of leadership so I could share them with you so that we can grow together as leaders and learn from their successes as well as their struggles. We have been posting them over the past several weeks.
Understanding Race & Reconciliation in the USA
Acts 29 is a diverse, global family of church-planting churches that exist to address the lostness of our cities and regions with the gospel. We do this through planting transcultural churches, churches which actively challenge critical cultural and social issues through their shared lives in submission to the Word of God.
Boat Docking 101: Good Articles and Videos
Category: Boating | 4 Min Read There’s plenty of information available online about how to dock your boat. Some of it’s even pretty good. Trouble is, when you multiply boat types by docking situations by weather and current conditions, you get a lot of variables. A YouTube video showing a single-engine runabout coming up along a nice stretch of open dock, like this one from the U.S. Power Squadrons, is a good place to start if you’re a beginner.
