Get a custom Owens and call it a day. You can't get better customer service. My BIL locked up his calipers on a keys trip (his fault) and we took the brakes off half way down. Called Owens and they sent us replacement parts to our rental free of charge. I had mine built and I picked up my...

You don't have to bring it in for the 20hr. You can complete all maintenance with proper documentation and receipts.

All depends on your ramp and tides. If you see a roller trailer in Florida they are on vacation ;)

I bought the CDI tester that plugs into the meter for a 115 Yamaha that I had on my little boat. Going through the testing procedure I found that only 2 plugs were firing. I thought I bought a refurb unit.

Trimming the engine isn't going to give you another 10MPH, but you may gain the RPMs. Are you 33kts or MPH? 33knts and a small adjustment will bring you into the 40mph range.

That speed seems like it if off by a lot. I hit 44 with the original '93 225 and I'm a little above that with a 300 Zuke but need another prop as I'm only hitting 5500. What hole on the motor are you using? Do you have bottom paint?

What prop do you have now and what is you max rpm and speed?

Suzuki has 2 250's. The one with electronic controls is bigger and the same as the 300. That version is a electronically detuned Zuke 300. The Zuke with mechanical controls is a smaller motor and a true 250.

As a kid I unloaded and cleaned commercial fishing boats. The first time I mixed those 2 things together I was verbally abused for a bit. People have died cleaning fix boxes with that mixture. Be careful.

Mine has a very slow leak. I bought the overpriced Ritchie fluid from West Marine. It's about a 10min job. I used a small plastic syringe to fill.

I come from a commercial fishing family so it's hard for me to watch that stuff. My god fathers family was one of only a few that could purse seine giant BF's. They would follow them from Mass. through the PC and over to San Diego. My dad worked on the boat for a handful of years and got his...

I would stick with cypress bunks if you can find a good trailer shop.

Anchoring off the stern in the GOM is very popular for the grouper diggers weather permitting.

Keep your eye on the thegpsstore. They are a great vendor! If you have any questions drop them a line as they are very helpful.

I would go with the Garmin 94sv Plus ($799) or the 7" version. If the UHD models come down ($1100ish) that would be even better.

Doesn't seem like a lot going on there. Just some general maintenance going by the pics. - Cleanup the trim pump on the motor. - Replace the hose from the seacock and lube the seacock. - Cover your terminals with the boots on the batteries. - Check your thruhull fittings. If they are sun...

Simrad will have better chart options, but other than that I would stick with Garmin. They are currently changing models again. West Marine had the 94sv plus on sale for $799. I would assume the 7" is a couple hundred bucks cheaper. Down side is that you can't overlay radar if you want that option.

That would be great!! Thanks

I don't even need it to have a second station. Just a spot to hang out and spot tarpon, Cobia and a better vantage for offshore blackfin. Would like it to fold aft.

The trend is a much sleeker look, but I don't think you would want to do this unless you only go up front only when its glass.
