How hard a job was adding the pulpit cleat? We just purchased a 2007 Marlin which is currently in storage at Port Harbor Marine (yep, Mainers here). I have identified the exact same issue and adding a cleat is on my list.
Hi, we had a Gulstream for 15 years that was powered with a 2 stroke Yamaha Saltwater Series 250....mounted on a bracket.
Never felt underpowered.....except when fully loaded with fuel & 4 adults.
