    Question about fuel tank usage on 300 Marlin

    I always ran both off main and saved my reserve. Sometimes I would run both off reserve just to use the fuel. I always run both motors on one tank though.

    305 Express....what to look for

    The 330 I just had surveyed the surveyor pulled both rear vents out and showed me no sealant and bare wood. This boat had 400 hours over 17 years and kept under cover so there was no moisture issue. He told me to pull them out when I get it home and paint the entire area with resin to seal the...

    More gas

    I had a 1985 24 offshore. I went from a single 200 to twin 150’s and added the extra 50 and also put a 20 gallon freshwater tank in that hold also.

    There is an 04 in tavanier Fl for 140k with 300 yammies. The 03 I am surveying Thursday has 225’s with 410 hours. As soon as I get this boat home motors will be sold and 300 yammies will be going on it. I sea trialed one with 250’s and it was terrible I thought. I had an 01 with 250 ox66’s and...

    Found another 33

    Thank you but that is way out of my budget. I am really hopeful this one will be ok. It only has 410 hours on it and it’s been sitting on a covered lift. It looks amazing. Pictures coming next week .

    Put down a deposit

    I agree that we need a boatfax like carfax. I ran the vin through some boat us site for 40 bucks and everything looked clean. The boat had had some serious damage repaired and I was really shocked I didn’t notice it. To my defense today was the first time I had seen the boat with the sun out so...

    Oh yes I have a signed offer contingent on survey. The boat is a one owner the fellow that has been handling the deal is the son. He didn’t show for the survey this morning I suspect he knew it wasn’t going to pass. I really don’t want to elaborate on what was wrong . I was very impressed with...

    Put down a deposit

    Had the boat surveyed today. Sadly it did not pass . The kid I left the 500.$$ deposit with is refusing to return it and sent some very nasty and threatening text messages to me. Believe me the best 500. I ever spent was on this survey. I have owned boats over 50 years and can’t believe the...

    I’ve been wrenching on cars and boats my whole life. My brother is a certified Yamaha tech that works at a marina. My wife is pretty awesome with a sewing machine so between all of us we manage to do everything in house . If I had to pay someone no way I could afford to own a boat.
