    Types and size of anchors

    On a 306? I would think you would need at least the 17# if not bigger. Profish works great, been happy with my choice.

    Prostatic

    Only you can answer that question. How comfortable are YOU with going out? Are you talking solo or with a crew? If you loose balance and fall in, can you get back to the boat and get in on your own? Your situation is very unique and anything we can tell you is in reference to our situation. Life...

    228 Repower

    I'd be leary of Yamaha saying they can get their hands on one right now. I've been waiting on a 4.2 F250 FBW going on a year, here in a month or two. I check with my dealer on a regular basis and still no concrete ETA set yet. Manufacturers are getting them, but repower market is lagging behind...

    Loosing motivation

    If you work on it constantly without a break,,,yep, it would get old. Sometimes best to walk away for awhile and recharge. Do a little at a time and keep moving forward. Once it's completed and you're out cruising/fishing, it'll all have been worth it.

    228 Repower

    It was electrical. Non connection, spotty connection, loss of communication with the unit, it was older units that have been out for awhile. Maybe you got lucky, dude,,, and have a good one. Just didn't want to deal with a possible issue down the road.

    228 Repower

    Max HP for the '96 Seafarer was 280. That would have me looking at the 250 Ya-Merc-uki as a repower option. The 300 would be out due to insurance concerns of being overpowered than the rating of the boat. I'm waiting on a 4.2 F250 FBW. I have all my controls, wires, gauges for the FBW swap. I...

    VHF Replacement

    With all this VHF talk and AIS networking with NMEA2K, I ordered the ICOM 506 to replace the 11 year old 504. Should network right in with all my new Simrad gear.

    Antenna wire

    Same here. I've cut and soldered the connection on most all my antennas over the years with no loss of reception. I do think they (Shakespeare) recommends to keep at least 6' of the cable. The only Digital brand antenna that I had, I ordered it with 6' and factory installed end.

    REPOWERING MY 2005 23 FT GULFSTREAM

    Yeah, I'm curious as well as to why they say a 4.2 F300 isn't right for your boat?? The 300 would be ideal for a Gulfstream seeing as yours came rigged as a single too.
