How much does the Mercury actually weigh? They quote 527 which is for the lightest of the 250 and I assume that is for the 20in and not the 25in.

Tarpon would be a nice catch… Yes, we let it go as it took a while for my daughter to be able to pick him up as he was really heavy and had some strong tail. So I didn’t even bother looking at the regs, I just remember seeing some huge ones in Florida so I assumed at 30some inches he was a...

If you are going with the GX1850G, I would shop around as I got mine earlier this year from Hodges for 174 (Black)

Fished behind the lighthouse in BI and my daughter caught a Cobia. Are these typical in NJ? Always thought they were mainly found in FL

Looks amazing!

I need to fish during the week and get out front to some of the reefs… Was in the bay between BB and BI on Saturday, 10 different spots and not a bite. Only fished from 630 to 9am but I didn’t see anyone catching anything around me. However, my lagoon has bunker jumping everywhere. Tossed...

Agree with the above. Think I calculated my 2000 228 with OX225 at 5400 or so with the aux tank. I’m not sure why my boat was bought with the trailer it had, but that was only listed at 5500, so definitely undertrailer when you consider 1k for the trailer.

What are you looking at to assume it’ll be good? Something more than rain/ wind and forecasted wave height vs period? Some guys got technical on the Key West trip and I have a feeling there are more items I should consider when heading out front…

Nice - I went with the 3/8 and did a bunch of routing on the backside so mine was flatter. I could have easily gone with the 1/4.

265 just listed on Facebook, slipped in Forked River

Skunkboat- How come your bottoms look so flat? Is that because of the depth of water you are in? Granted I am in 10-15ft of water drifting for fluke in the bay, but the chop makes it seem like the bottom is rolling as well.

I went with both and got the kit for about 700 using the West Marine 15% off code on THT earlier this year. It came with the bag, which was bigger than I thought, PLB, EPIRB, and a bunch of other stuff that individually are probably overpriced (whistle/ mirror/etc).

Another scam??? Some pics have tower on top others have lettering on side with soft top??

48k seems like a steal in this market, especially as a repower. I’m curious what is wrong with it. In 2019, anything north of 35-40k for an early 2000s 228 indicated it was a repower.

Remember my uncle telling my mom 20 years ago that if you are looking at a luxury car, you don’t compare their MPG. If you are, you shouldn’t be buying a luxury car. I’d say the same if you are looking at a new 307. The costs are the costs, if you can afford the boat, the rest is pocket...

First Keeper of the season caught about 50yds south of the BI marker in the bay Didn’t get many bites though, used the same gulp more or less for about 3-4 hrs (recharging with no luck). Tried my usual spots but not much happening. It was a weekend so I didn’t go to the inlet, oyster creek...

Sea Quest Sea White worked for me. I tried the chalk but there was a huge difference.

Think it all depends on what your “boss” wants. Mine does not like the open bow and no place to get out of the sun. She wakes up at 530am to be another adult on the boat when I fish with a 7 and 4 year old but immediately goes into the cuddy and sleeps for a few hours. Then enjoys the boat...

Can you trace the wires from/ to the breaker? Looks to be grounds, right?

Here is mine..two pipes on bottom have no plug
