Those who own Adventures with 150's on them, how are they? With 4 people on board will they come up to plane? I had an 87 Mako with an old 90hp on it and it was tough to plane with 4 on board. I had to redistribute the weight, it was a real pain in the ass. I don't want to make that mistake...

It's going to be awhile guys. For you Southerners, the Struggle is real.....Hudson River : Newburgh Boat launch.

Check the search forums area. You can pick which forum to search.

Thanks SuskyMike, I feel like I'm looking at the same ones over and over again. I inquired about a Mako on Powerboat listings, the owner said that boat was 5 boats ago-Haha. Not very up to date, I'm finding a lot of that. I saw a Mako 215 WA pop up on boat trader in GA and called the dealer...

Boat Trader Boat Shopper Salty Dog Craigs List Great Grady ClassicMako Yachtfinder SmartMarineGuide--The Worst for info. Am I missing any? My daily quest for a Mako 215,233 234 WA OR Grady 208,226,228 WA.

Hopefully I'll find one with a trailer, but it seems 50/50 at this point. Thanks for the info.

That is one beautiful set up!

In my search for a Seafarer, I'm finding a few that don't have trailers. What size trailer would I need? Probably will not buy a new one just borrow or buy a used one. 23 ? 24? Thanks.

Going to be in the Hudson River brackish water, just north of West Point. How often would you have to pull it to clean?

Interesting. I plan on keeping it in a slip from April to October, trailering doesn't work for me, I'll never use it. I have plans to slip it at a yacht club this year, so if I do that, It should be painted right?

Great Shepherds! Here's mine at 2 months and six months old.

Why the hate on bottom paint? Seems like they all have it. If you keep it in a slip don't you have to have it painted? Or can you keep it there without paint? Thanks

I''m doing the same research, looking for the hard top 226 or 228. Enclosed transom doesn't matter to me. Just right price and certain features. Also looking at a few Adventures with hard tops. There are a few deals out there without hard tops and I thought about adding one later. Atlantic...

It all depends on your capabilities, transoms are repairable. What year and model is the boat? Engines in good shape? When it's all said and done will it be worth the time and effort? Are you going to do the work yourself or have a professional do it?(cost). Lots of questions you have to ask...

OK guys, With a little free time on my hands and a grand search for my next boat, I managed to love the OX66 and hate the Ficht's and F200-250's. I even read the complete post from 2010 on THT about replacing the exhaust manifolds and checked the current prices for parts. ( I don't even have the...

Thanks Ky, never thought about the receipt. It would be the biggest job I would have done to date, I don't mind wrenching on things, but the idea of going from an 88' Mercury 2 stroke to something I might have to do major work too IS exactly what I was trying to avoid. Maybe I can use it to...

Boat show in NY in 2 weeks, big Internet search for my Seafarer. Reading up on 4 stroke problems. Learning about ox66's and watching some George Poveromo on you tube.

Ky, What kind of money are we talking for the exhaust being done? One of the boats at a marina said it was checked out and ok, one f the other boats I was looking at said it was replaced. Is it something a handy man can do or just a mechanic? Thanks, John * I you tube it, big job. Lots of info...

I carried a small parts holder in the bow locker on my Mako 17' Spare hose, lamps, tape, wire ties, prop wrench, fuses, spark plug, wire, corks etc. We were out in Ocean City a few years ago and I raised the motor and the tiller arm bracket cut the fuel line. Quick fix with some tape got me...

Unfortunately I don't think my budget will allow me to get a 2007 or newer. My year range is 2000-2004 Seafarer.
