Big news for Pacific Northwest boaters — Elliott Bay Marina has a new owner. This week, Matt and Tim sit down with Jordan Glidden, former General Manager of Elliott Bay Marina and current general manager at Marina Management LLC, to break down what Stonepeak's acquisition of Southern Marinas could mean for one of Seattle's most beloved boating destinations.

We sat down with Max French, General Manager of Pacific Coast Yachting Services in Seattle, to walk through what actually goes into a modern lithium installation built around the Victron ecosystem. From why AGM banks rarely live their advertised lifespan, to what a proper battery management system (BMS) really does, to how remote monitoring through VRM has changed the way boats are supported — this is a behind-the-curtain look at real-world system design.

The Seattle Boat Show is where many boating journeys level up, and in this episode we talk move-up boats, insurance realities, and what it really takes to make a bigger boat fit into your float plan.

Setting the course, introducing the voices, and charting what’s ahead.
