What should I expect anderage annual cost of ownership to be? How often will the engine & generator need to be rebuilt? How often will I need to fill the fuel tank for average usage(cruising around and linking up for some beverages). What will that run? Give me as much info as you can!

I have a signed painting by DERYEK FOSTER ,of two sail boats. I know it is very old. Any info would be app?

Posted by Admin on October 26th, 2009 under Yachting Tags: , , , , , ,  •  1 Comment




This painting is oil on canvas, two sail boats/yachts in a storm…..on one of the sails is a four digit number….and is older than I am. I have found very little about the artist, Deryek Foster, (that is how the painting is signed….it is also numbered)and in excellent condition.
I know he was a early 1900’s painter and then the trail goes nowhere and everywhere……..PLEASE HELP……..THANKS

How do I get a title on a boat if I dont know the name of the previous registered owner?

Posted by Admin on October 24th, 2009 under IRS Boat Deductions Tags: , , , ,  •  1 Comment




We live in Texas and we got a boat from a friend who is was getting a divorce and did not have a place to keep his boat. He bought it from a guy a few years back and had not had it on the water because he was working on getting it “water ready”. We now have the boat and want to get the title and registration so we can take it out but we do not know who the last registered owner was to file for a transfer of ownership.
