New-ish member Introduction

Post by Packert28 »

My 2004 28' TE Express (315 hp Yanmar) was launched last week and we're ready to go. Kept in Norwalk CT at SNBC but club is pretty much on lock-down/social distancing etc. This is my 3rd season with her after purchasing her in RI in 2018. We looked at a bunch but this was the nicest and checked all the boxes for us. While I liked the blue hull, this one's green and a beauty.

A trip up the Hudson is on our bucket list, but would prefer to go with another boat or two (or more). This year or next? Let me know. Also looking for advice to make my wipers clean better, which basically skip right over the spray. Yes, I've tried rain-X but they need some kind of adjustment to apply downward (toward the windshields) pressure. Suggestions? This is my biggest boat, renamed her "Rubicon". Thanks

Welcome aboard, Packer!

Silly question on the wipers - is there any chance that new blades would do the trick?

I have a 2004 flush deck. Do the trip up the Hudson in the Fall. The tree colors look cool.
