I have heard so much about how The Hull Truth (or THT, right?) throws out written smirks, innuendos and downright insults that I decided to go visit. I didn't sign on to post, just dialed it up and looked around... I found the insults and cat-calling to be there, but I also found some good info...

I have a Marlin with 350's, so I have no real world experience with 225's. 18MPH at 3600 makes me wonder if there isn't something else going on..Bottom growth? Wrong props? Tabs stuck down maybe? At 18MPH, the boat isn't even on plane unless he has the tabs fully deployed. Can't definitively...

I see a cooler behind you guys. Skunk, this must not be your boat; I know the rules...

epp: Haven't heard back from my club contact yet. Just wanted you to know I hadn't forgot your request. If he gets back to me, I'll let you know. There's no one else that I know that can give me info on your boat.

I will inquire within our club to see if the (maybe) previous owner can be located. I never really knew them well and didn't exchange phone numbers. I think I can find out the answer even without speaking to the former owner. I'll post back on this thread with my findings.

So...will it go to your indoor storage facility at the end of January for the balance of the winter? How does that work? Do you have a specific spot in the bldg or do they shoehorn all the boats in and you'll get the space closest to the door once you get it there?

epp; I don't think it's the same one, but one of our Gulf Coast club members had a Marlin of that vintage. I don't think they fished much, if any, so the waypoints you speak of make me think yours is a different boat. That said, very few had 350's and our members boat I'm speaking of did. I...

The Coxswain on the bridge is holding on for life. I would assume your 265 stayed put that day...

Yes, we are fine. Thanks for the info!

Hey: Can you reply with the site and/or info of the company that allows towing with their rental trucks? You mentioned it in a discussion awhile back. I want to send it to a friend who needs that service. I think it's Enterprise?? Thanks! Hope all is well in your World....

I'm pretty sure that's freshwater; I can tell by the foam dissipation in the wake. I thought Santee was on the coast? Pretty large body of water in any case...Glad your having a good trip!

I can only help halfway. I don't fish, so I know nothing about that. Retirement? Now 'ya talkin'. I can assist with that on many levels. 1.) It will grow on you. I was never the kind that got bored and needed a part-time job to keep from going nuts. I love having little to no commitments. 2.)...

X2 on the Golden. It's been a great lift for me.

Side question: What kind of mileage do you get towing? That's the 6.7 isn't it?

Agree with Ky Grady. it's not excessive when it's the only thing holding your boat. To Compare: I have a Marlin 300 weighing in around 12,500. My lift is 16K. Always overbuild, whether it's lifts or trailers. it isn't that much more for the protection & peace of mind. One more thing..If your...

Koakine88: Thanks for that very interesting story. I was in Hawaii once, rented a car and drove to the North Shore and was amazed by the huge swells breaking on the beach. (I recall it was so deep, they broke close in to shore.) That day was likely no different than most, but I remember it 40...

Russ: Wow..good thing you shut your helmsman down..Did you ever see what you almost hit? Every now and again we hear similar stories on the News and Ch #16. Thanks for contributing and let's all aspire to be old and not bold pilots. Lee: That incident tops mine! Glad you weren't injured.. I...

I think this has the potential to be interesting, informative and entertaining in equal parts. I (and others, I'll wager,) would be interested in hearing about your most harrowing encounter on the water aboard your Grady. Give Us The Tale Of The Day You'll Never Forget. One requirement..NO...

glaicerbaze: You will note that I did NOT "quote" LuckyDude's post above mine....

Hey Lucky: As others have said, neat write-up and glad you are bonding with your rig. Boat ownership is a Journey with Destinations in between. Along the way you discover things big & small, learn & adjust... We have already discussed the pro's & con's of engine trim vs. tabs. You've found...
