what knot lets you tie a rope to a rod without access to the ends of the rope or the rod while letting you put tension on either end of the rope without coming undone? Basically imagine an infinite rod and infinite rope. Preferably making use of the doubled up rope instead of pretending the doubled rope is a single rope
What do ya'll recommend for Anchor and Buoys/Bumpers. Will be tying up to docks and other boats. 2016 Nautique G23.
Just bought a G23, 2016. Not a wakesurfer so don't know much about the boards. I really want a board everyone can use and then another board you can progress all the way from intermediate to advanced on. But looks to me like there's "skim" boards and "surf" boards. The everyone board would be a big floaty one you aren't doing tricks on but can just chill. The other I'm not sure about. Anyways, any help would be greatly appreciated! Makes, models recommendations etc.
I recognize this is subjective and situational, but let me know if one stands out as a good deal. Whether you're going to turn around and sell it in 5/10/15 years probably makes a difference, but assuming 100hrs/year use, which of these would you pick if you were just trying to get good value for your money:
$117k | 2018 Nautique G25 | 330HRS | 550HP supercharged XR7 | Very Nice "broad appeal" color scheme. | some minor fading on seats | 2 owner, limited service records, dealer inspected for compression, etc.
$125k 2019 Nautique G25 | 52HRS | 550HP supercharged XR7 | lime green with dark blue color scheme | like-new condition throughout | 1 owner, immaculate service records multiple times/year, dealer inspected for compression, etc.
$103k 2017 Nautique G23 | 303HRS | 450HP H6DI | White and black with lime-green accents | some minor fading on seats | 1 owner, always serviced by a marine service company who is also the broker, not dealer inspected
$92k 2023 Axis A24 | 0HRS on new motor, 200HRS on the boat | simple white/blue color scheme with gray/blue interior | seems excellent condition | 1 owner, service records missing since dealer's out of business | motor failed due to failed rod, not neglect
