    Snap in carpet recommendations for older 225 Tournament

    I can't help you with the carpet, but as an FYI... YKK makes a seld-adhesive snap fastener call SNAD... You can use them to avoid having to drill/screw the fasteners on the deck.

    Hello and questions for 2001 306 Bimini

    When I bought my 2018 306 Canyon with "C Series" F350s, I discussed it with service manager at my local GW/Yamaha dealer. He told me to avoid the "A & B Series" motors. He said the "C Series" are fine.

    Hello and questions for 2001 306 Bimini

    FYI: on my 2018 Canyon with F350s, the scuppers are well above the water. They are in the painted waterline, but out of the water.

    Hello and questions for 2001 306 Bimini

    2023 Freedom 235 winterize water systems

    Just an FYI, many insurance companies will only cover freeze damage if the winterization was performed by a dealer/yard, etc.
