Genre: Thriller/Horror
Movie
Let’s start the list with a classic. Not exactly about fishing or boating, but Steven Spielberg’s “JAWS” is a splendid motion picture that brings you a fright and gives you one or two nasty turns when you least expect them. As many probably know, the movie takes place over the Fourth of July weekend when a killer shark unleashes chaos on a beach at Long Island, and it’s up to the main characters to hunt the beast down. A famous opening sequence establishes the presence of a man-eating shark in the coastal waters; a girl goes swimming by moonlight and is dragged under, screaming – scary!

The team at Boss Marine are passionate about boating and have put together 10 reasons why you should stop thinking about buying a boat, and just get one!
You may not know this, but scientific research has found that being in, on or under the water can make us happier and healthier. In today’s digital environment, we constantly find ourselves staring at screens, which can lead to feelings of loneliness and isolation. Owning a boat helps you slow down, make connections with family and friends, and leave your anxiety behind.
The best part of owning a boat is sharing it with your family and friends. Whether you are going on a fishing trip, enjoying water sports, or going sailing, your boat provides and excellent opportunity to get together and enjoy some time with your loved ones.
Boating is fun, there are no arguments about that! Having your own boat will offer you a wide variety of water sports – water skiing, scuba diving, swimming and fishing! All of these activities are a great way to get outdoors and burn some calories!
When you own a boat, you get to explore many destinations that are not accessible without a boat - Secluded bays, tiny beaches or isolated reefs. It doesn’t matter where you visit, you know that going out to explore new areas will always be exciting.
One common myth about owning a boat is that it requires expensive maintenance and upkeep. However, the truth is that modern boats require minimal annual maintenance. You can cut maintenance costs by trying to do the basics yourself, and go to a marine professional technician to keep your boat in the top shape.
Owning a boat will give you that sense of peace when you are out sailing on the open ocean. Even if you are simply going to relax on the deck, sipping a drink till the sun goes down - It’s an ultimate relaxing moment. Bottom line, taking a boating trip can be whatever you want it to be.
One of the main reasons for having a boat (other than it being fun!) is the ultimate bragging rights. You’ll be everyone’s best mate because people love someone who owns a boat
Owning a boat will make you get involved with the boating community and discover more things you can do on the water. The boating community are known to be a diverse and supportive group. No matter your occupation, age, or boat, when you’re out on the water you will share a common experience. Surrounding yourself with like-minded people will be beneficial in many ways, including making new friends and new learning experiences.
Operating a boat requires you to learn various new skills. From boat handling, navigating the tides or even learning how to fish, owning a boat provides many fun learning opportunities. You know that mastering new skills will keep your mind sharp and learning about boating can stimulate your brain in a unique way.
Why not invite your clients or colleague to spend time on your boat? Discussing business or sealing a deal at sunset on your boat can add prestige to any transaction. It is certainly a unique alternative to normal client lunches or golf outings!

A private boat dock or pontoon is an important investment to allow easy access to your boat or other leisure watercraft. The maintenance of the dock or pontoon is important for its longevity. Importantly protecting your dock/pontoon from the elements and ensuring the functional aspects provide the protection you require for your watercraft assets. Here are eight tips on keeping your dock/pontoon clean and in good working condition.
Be it a stationary dock/pontoon permanently in the water or a floating dock /pontoon that you can move in and out of the water as required, please check that it is installed as per the original specifications from the manufacturer. In the event of a major storm, the correct installation of your dock/pontoon will ensure it does not become unstable and tip over in the water. Ensure that you review the installation of fending devices (fenders), including the fixings to the dock/pontoon and the orientation of the fenders (horizontal and vertical). Conduct regular inspections paying careful attention to any splits, delamination, and cracks in the fenders.
Once you install your dock/pontoon, get into the habit of photographing it periodically (say every 6 months or so). In doing so, you can assess the images of seasonal adjustments in different conditions over time. You may not recognise your dock/pontoon fading or sloping in a particular direction upon daily inspection. However, when you have photos, you can review the changes of your dock/pontoon and find any issued and conduct maintenance to ensure longevity and safe operation. Ensure you examine and photographs any fending devices and if the dock/pontoon has had any abnormal watercraft activity the photographs can serve as a ‘before’ image to assess any damages.
As most docks/pontoons are exposed to the elements, they will likely attract debris and possibly become covered in unsightly and unsafe coatings. This can make your dock/pontoon unattractive and unsafe to use. Pressure washing your dock/pontoon with a pressure washer and detergent specifically designed to clean docks/pontoons will ensure it remains in good condition. If the dock/pontoon is produced in wood, exposed timber that has not received the appropriate re-application of marine-grade coatings may rot. Clean the fenders on the dock/pontoon with warm soapy water and replace any damaged fenders with an appropriately proportioned fender to ensure the adequate protection of your personal watercraft or boats.
Wooden docks/pontoons are notorious for splinters after prolonged periods in the exposed weather. In the warmer month splinters can pose a hazard to bare feet walking across the dock/pontoon. Remove any splinters by sanding them down and making your dock/pontoon smooth.
Timber docks/pontoon may be susceptible to dry rot, which is something you might be forced to deal with if you don't make the decision to seal a wooden dock. Water can penetrate wooden docks and cause rotting to occur. Find a sealer that will protect the dock/pontoon from rainwater as well as water from the lake, river, or sea. Excellent sealers are sold in good hardware and paint stores and will keep moisture out and stop a dock/pontoon from rotting.
Selecting the right-size fender is important for the protection of the dock/pontoon and the watercraft used in an around the dock/pontoon. Consider placing fenders in both the horizontal and vertical portions of your dock/pontoon. The fenders will serve as a barrier that will stop the boat from damaging the dock/pontoon in windy and stormy conditions. If your fenders sustain damage due to unanticipated impacts, make sure you inspect them for fit-for-purpose use to protect your assets.
Do not put-off repairs to the dock/pontoon. Fixing even a small amount of damage caused by the elements or the misuse of the dock/pontoon you can stop it from evolving into a larger issue in the future.
If your dock/pontoon is small enough, during rough weather you may wish to remove it from the water. Bad weather can inflict significant damage to your dock/pontoon. Be sure to remove it in a safe manner, using the correct lifting positions, employ the support of a friend or neighbour, or have a lifting device to assist. Make sure to inspect your dock/pontoon for any damage to the fenders or the structure.
Follow these simple steps to ensure that your dock/pontoon provides you the safety, protection, and enjoyable use for many years. Importantly, ensure that your watercraft and other boating assets are accessible at the times you require them. Enjoy your watercraft activities.
