Kraken 2006 330 express with F300s

I leave dock with the follow full of ice. Transom mounted yeti 50 with ballyhoo, transom 270 full, yeti 350 full, two igloo 70s in mid berth and sometimes an SSI 200 on bow. Let's says a few fish have come aboard for a long ice nap

I use a Yeti 350. Basically becomes an island in the cockpit

Mid berth on port side should have a small access panel about 18" xx 12". Remove 4 screws and pump should be right in front Also the trim tab reservoir and fresh water pump in same area. Have replaced raw water pump twice in 4 years. I use it a lot since fish quite a bit Good luck

30' Lees. I changed the poles from 16 to 22' poles plus the 8' bases. They are a handful to deploy but run 3 lines off reach and am very happy. Go big or go home as they say

I have a 2006 that I repowered with 2013 F300s. 4 years and basically 600 flawless hours. Blew a water pump once 20 hours before scheduled service. Could not be happier with the boat or the engines. Go for it

I can't help too much but I have the same boat I have the layout outriggers and changes the poles to 22' so I have 30' outriggers. A bit obnoxious but OMg what a spread Where I can help is two buddies have the layout and went carbon fiber and both broken in last year. One was a famous...

I upgraded 3 years ago. All Garmin and love it all Two 7212 Gsd26 Two chirp thru hull 4' 6kw array Garmin autopilot with smart pump Ais600 Weather Two icon 604 radios

Let's have a poll or vote Who would rather buy the exact same boat with Yamaha f300s Or etec 300s ? My point was most would prefer the four strokes No doubt the etecs have more power and are light years away from the old 2 strokes They are probably better on such a heavy boat just most...

Sure the new Etecs are great but I have two issues 1 carrying the two stroke oil 2 resale will 100% be lower with etec and a 2 stroke Grady's as all knows come with Yamaha and people prefer to buy with yamahas

We did raise the engines one hole. Could maybe go another hole maybe but I run offshore a lot in rough weather and sometimes vent with large waves

HMBJack Thank you for the response. I did contact Ken and $2,500 later still looking for proper props. Tried the 17 pitch 3 blade Yamahas. Love them but only when half full or lighter. When heavy boat struggles. Have the 15 pitch Yamaha and those handle the load great but lost...

650 hours of use in 3 years on f300s and just oil changes No doubt the f350s are better for this boat but I went for reliability and range. Love the 33 but it's a heavy boat and wants power. A little slower and more range was my goal

What is the exact 4 blade props u are running Manufacturer? Diameter and pitch ?

I have a 330 express and also I am not a fan of any hardtop outriggers. Heard several carbon fiber including blys explode I have the lee 8' bases and changed poles from the standard single spreader 16' to double spreader 22'. Run triples easily. Great spread and very strong
