Not a direct answer to your question but related nonetheless. I have 2018 350's on my Marlin with 200+ hrs and they are flawless. I know these are the updated engines, but you still have to have the flywheels changed when the engine logs 80 hrs between 3500-4300 rpm. I've had it done twice...

Russ: Most of your questions posted on here I have left to the knowledgeable pros. Your query concerning boat handling is one that I can help with. It's lengthy, I know, but indulge me and read on: No amount of instructional videos or online advice is going to get you to the finish line on...

Ahh..I was looking at the red line at the top, figuring that was the gauge and not the white bars. Permit me to wish you many happy hours with your Grady and new trailer once this pandemic is in the rear view mirror.

Keeldad, I see it too. Oil temp gauge pegged hot, next to the tach. Maybe that's normal, he wouldn't have pulled a trailer thru the mountains without incident if it wasn't. Good story by the way; I was only out West one time, filling in some dates with a country act. Your pics do it more...

I had the same question years ago and called the home office for my brand of wax. They told me no colder than 55 degrees.

There is one in our marina and I see it every day. Twin Yam 250's, nice lines and the owner loves it. I stood behind the helm once and the windshield frame blocks my sight line; I have to raise up on my heels to see above it or bend down to see below it. I'm 5' 11". That is a deal-breaker for...

Bunk length is a little over 6ft. I'm 5' 11" and when I owned my Gulfstream I could easily stretch out. I must add that I'm a little fart and can easily fit myself into small places. Put the filler cushion in and you and girlfriend can sleep comfortably side-to, but there's not a lot of wiggle...

Call Grady directly by phone; unless they are short-staffed due to Covid-19, they'll put you thru to the right person. I did the same for my Grady and after I hung up, they sent a spec sheet with the proper placement of the bunks.

Do Not Drive in inclement wx. Southbound on I-65 from Chicago going thru Northern IN, Dodge Dually pulling my 232 Gulfstream, early Jan. Strong cold front blew thru with an Arctic Hi Pressure airmass close behind. Pre-passage, we had rain/snow mix, wetting the road surfaces. Post-passage it...

No pic here, but mine is an '07 Dodge Dually Cummins 6.7. Towed my 232 Gulfstream and my 2018 Marlin (once) with no problems. 10-12 MPG depending on terrain and headwinds, or lack thereof. I would never go back to a gas engine for towing unless I acquired a lighter toy that didn't warrant a diesel.

Fishtales has a 6 point lead....

If I had short hair, I would certainly break down....

I guess this is a pleasant thought...Actually more amusing than pleasant; you can see I have little to do staying at home. I just noticed Seasick & Fishtales are within one post of each other. Seasick- 4326 Fish- 4327. Who will win?

Yeah, my sig. other went thru an incredible Sea Of Bureaucracy to acquire permits for every state between Fla & Michigan. Each one had different requirements and I can't remember how many Ben Franklins I handed over to get 'em. Never got stopped once. I had flags, OVERSIZE LOAD signage...

Salmondogs is correct on the subject of going too fast and pushing your truck too hard. I towed my Marlin last summer from Fla to Michigan and back with my 3500 Cummins Dodge dually. I stayed in the right lane between 50-55 MPH and just watched the world go by. It took 3 days to get to Michigan...

My Marlin & trailer weight combined was 14,600 lbs. My trailer scaled separately at 2640 lbs. It was a tri axle aluminum with three 7K axles. Therefore, doing the math, the Marlin itself with full fuel & gear powered by Yam 350's weighs 11,960 lbs.

Hey Cemba33: Neat recap; glad it worked out well for you. My run from Fla to Michigan and back last summer was a success as well, but I don't plan on doing it again. Without going into detail, it was more trouble than it was worth, even though nothing went wrong. One more shout-out to Dennis...

If he was, he'd have that Canyon Flagship with quads... Hit records baby....

Why would anyone want to cut their hair? Doc looks great.

Yes, don't give up on the magazine racks; They'll come in handy for something. I still have my Rolling Stone issue on why the Beatles broke up sitting in mine.
