Hey L I just noticed you're from the Jacksonville area. I haven't used blue water for any upholstery but I used Mousa on my last boat a 19' skiff and was very pleased. I'd be very curious about your experience with blue water. What Grady do you have? Just looked at your pic and looks like a...

Just to give you a little comparison, I tow my Marlin with a 2005 2500 duramax. You have plenty of tow capacity to handle 26+. Your comfort level with doing so is another question.

Not sure how far you want to travel but Mike Manier in Jacksonville is an excellent Yamaha mechanic. He's been doing all my work aince I've owned my Marlin. Morning Star Marina Mayport Fl. 9048383743

Russ, I have a Marlin with 22# delta anchor 30' of 1/4" chain and 600' of 1/2" 3 strand rope. I have effectively anchored in 130'-140' in my area with pretty decent wind and current. My anchor locker barely holds all the rope and chain. I often have to have someone on the bow to help pull rope...

One more opinion, I two my Marlin with a 2005 Chevy 2500. When I first got the boat I didnt like the way it pulled at all, you could feel every movement very exaggerated. The biggest concern to me was pitch and roll at speeds. Since, I have done helper airbags on the rear and upgraded my hitch...

I dont get any smell in the cabin from guests smoking in the cockpit area. Common courtesy would dictate no one would smoke in the cabin. I'm also very much my boat my rules so if you dont want people smoking on board that should be respected.

Can I ask how much it cost you to strip the bottom paint? I have a Marlin I would love to strip the bottom on . Not sure of cost or ability to go back to bare gelcoat. Beautiful boat by the way.

So I have no personal experience with this but there are several guys here in N.E. Florida running Rhodan trolling motors on 30+' center console rigs with good reported success. I believe here its primarily for the spot lock function offshore. Not sure if its okay to mention another forum on...

March of 17 I bought my Marlin and it came with autopilot. I'd wanted it for years on other vessels but never spent the money. I do fish 40-80 miles out most often so it's a 2-3 hour ride each way often. I have become absolutely spoiled rotten. I had a power supply issue for a couple months and...

Just a quick update. Ended up emailing GW and they put me in contact with Fisher Panda. Super helpful on both ends, I'm impressed with the customer service so far. I ordered a replacement from FP and it was here in 3 days. The new muffler/silencer is made of fiberglass and cylindrical instead of...

Fairly certain they dont have a weekend or occasional plan. I could be mistaken but I dont recall that as an option. I pay $30 for the weather and 10 for the stereo. I also go 40-80 miles out as often as the weather allows so it's a decent value for me. There's one subscription above the one I...

So my xm weather comes through my Garmin 4212. The only real benefit I've noticed with mine is being able to see weather beyond my radar range. I do also have SiriusXM's radio run seperate through a JL audio mm100, music is important to me. The satellite weather has been nice on several...

Dennis I'm fairly certain its metal and I dont think it could be a plug. The water/exhaust are coming out the back of the silencer which is sandwiched against a structure in the bilge. I will check for a plug and the material it's made of when I pull it out this weekend. Thank you for the...

Fishtales, you're the man... The low profile muffler looks almost identical. The only difference I can see is the outlet exits the top and the one I currently have exits the side. I'll order that one and have it fixed in no time. Many thanks for the help. Dennis I live down in Florida so I...

Thank you Fishtales I was thinking silencer/muffler but a quick Google search produced nothing for sale. I guess I'll need to look deeper or call the dealer. Thanks again for the reply.

I have a 2005 Marlin with FP 4.2 generator. Started the generator today and I have water and exhaust coming out of a box in the bilge. I'm not exactly sure what the box is called but I know the exhaust and water both exit the boat through this box. I looked to see if it was a cracked hose but...

Just a little personal experience. I trailer a Marlin with a Chevy 2500 duramax and I sure wish it was a dually. I'm towing over rated per the manufacturer's rating but everything I found stated the hitch receiver as the limit of 12000#. I upgraded to 18k receiver, 20k ball and hitch, airbag...

I use Allstate and I think my premium is around 1200-1300 annually. I'm super happy with their service. I recently had to make a claim and they had me a check in less than a week. I had an incident when I had geico and they were a nightmare to deal with.
