Thanks guys

Morning - I lost my anchor fishing offshore a few weeks ago and in need of a replacement. Can anyone tell me what comes on a 30" Marlin? Thanks in advance for your help! Jason

Thank you, much appreciated. Happy Turkey Day to you as well!

Does anyone know what size Garmin displays fit into the flush mount space on a 2011 Marlin? Looking to take advantage of the West Marine Turkey Day sale and upgrade my system. Thanks for the help!

Mission complete. Safe and sound back at home in Tampa and our Marlin is at home in Saint Petersburg. We ended up departing from Lovers Key boat ramp around noon on Saturday. The plan was originally to leave at 10am but we waited for the weather to clear. Shot up the ICW, fueling at The...

Thanks so much for the advise and forecast links. We have decided to push off the trip until next weekend. It's a holiday weekend and will likely take it slow stopping overnight somewhere along the way. As much as I want to get on the boat I didn't want our first trip to turn into a memory...

My wife and I are scheduled to pick our new to us 2011 Marlin 300 on Saturday morning in Fort Myers, FL and run it up to St. Petersburg, FL. Looking at the forecast I'm not too concerned but would like to hear from some others that know the boat and the trip better than we do. What forecast...
