    Captains Chairs Arm Rest

    I had the same issue with our 2007 Marlin. I finally gave up and called Pompanette. They were awesome!. Arm rests had been totally redesigned and quite frankly should have always been that way.

    2 step boarding ladder source?

    I have a two-step folding ladder that came off a 1997 Gulfstream. It was attached to the swim platform. Its looking for a new home. Not sure if its the type that you are looking for. Send me a note

    300 Marlin - 250’s or 300’s?

    Correct. Having full access to the stern bilge area for general inspection, maintenance ( fuel separators for example) is so much easier. boats as we all know require us to be some sort of contortionist circus performer to get at things. Having the luxury of being able to flip open the deck...

    Marlin deck lights

    I did the exact same project on my Gulfstream.....original bayonet bulb fixture out and new Attwood led fixture in. It was a very easy project. It would have been even easier if Grady had left just a little bit more "extra" wiring. In all, however, a pretty easy do it yourself project.

    300 Marlin - 250’s or 300’s?

    We have nearly the 1st season in the books with our 2007 marlin. We up-sized from our 232 Gulfstream. The season has been a delight. its powered with original 250's. With full fuel and two adults and otherwise loaded........4200 rpm yields 27-32 mph depending on whether going with or against the...

    What size boat before it changes how you boat?

    Ya know, that is a great question! My wife & I had the same discussion when we went from the 232 Gulfstream to our new to us 300 Marlin. I was asked the question a thousand times by my Mermaid...."is this boat too big for you to handle alone?". So....we now have nearly a full season under out...

    New GW decals

    Cannot remember the exact measurements, but I recall that the dimensions of the Ebay listing were off...mostly in length. My original was longer. In short, I took exact measurements from my boat and had the vendor make them to my exact specs.

    New GW decals

    I ordered from the same vendor and actually got him to modify width and length to my exact specs. Arrived quickly and a darn near perfect match. Well worth the effort and cost.

    Garmin Inreach

    I have and use regularly an Inreach mini for work. I have not yet interfaced it with my 1242 xsv plotter on my boat. It's on the list of spring commissioning tasks. I'm thinking it will be a good back up.

    Shade for the cockpit in a 360 express

    I am looking to do something like that for our Marlin. I took a screen shot of this boat as a possible solution....incorporating the outriggers as a structure for a canopy. On the surface it looks like a pretty good solution. I'm actually going to show this pic to our "go to" canvas shop and...
