    Salt water

    id take it. flush and rinse after each ride. when you anchor up at a sand bar, walk around the boat and give the bottom a once over with a brush.

    225 Tournament weight change?

    i had a similar question about the Chase model. up till 2005 it was 3975 lbs, in 2006 it goes up to 4843lbs. thats over a 20% increase. same hull dimensions. im not aware of any major change in those years, and certainly not something that would add almost 900 lbs. i called GW and asked...

    Average discounts in today’s market? 235 Freedom

    damn, over $10k per foot? that is insane in that length range. no 23 ft boat is worth even half that in my opinion...

    Gulfstream 232 vs Journey 258 deck space

    the 258 would likely be a bit more efficient and knife better through a head sea. the 232 will be more stable laterally

    Freedom Trim

    i assume you mean ventilation (props drawing air) rather than cavitation (boiling water caused by low pressure)? it would be useful to mention what brand engines, what mounting hole they are in, and what props you have.

    New Seadek - Marlin

    i have been budgeting 6k for my 27 cc, so i think i am pretty close. i hope to get a few more years because the boat lives under a cover all summer and inside all winter

    New Seadek - Marlin

    that looks awesome. sea deck is somewhere in my 3 year plan and this just became my first choice for color/pattern. that wood grain is really nice do you mind sharing who did it and the cost?

    Fell MOB+ vs ACR OLAS Guardian

    quick side question.... if you happened to somehow leave all your fobs at home or just didnt have them on the boat for whatever reason, is there a way to override the system for the entire trip.

    Another Fuel Tank Thread

    over the weekend, i got the tank for the final time. i first installed the aluminum banding. banding was screwed to the stringer on each side of the tank (4 pieces total, front and back on both sides). i pre-drilled the holes and filled with resin before running the screws in. i also caulked...

    Replacing the transom on a 26’7” Grady Express 2001

    damn, if i lived out there and needed it done, id get the boat shipped to the east coast, get it fixed, ship it back, and still save money. i honestly dont know how you west coast guys deal with being out there.

    ACR PLB vs InReach Mini

    thanks. i kind of wish that there were mor locations in general. it would be nice if they had a service contract with REI or west marine (or some sort of widely spread chain). there is nothing coastal between the northern coast of NJ and mid coast NC. there is baltimore, but who wants to...

    New model Freedom 415

    why do people compare dryness of dc with curtains up to a cc with no curtains? get curtains on a cc and stay dry. plenty of room for 4 people to stay dry on a cc with curtains

    282 Sailfish - Water in fuel!?!?

    if the issue is after it sat for the off season, my guess would be either condensation or bad gas. it sounds like the tank was not full over the off season. that can allow condensation to collect over heat/cool cycles. do you always fill up at the same station? maybe try somewhere else. do...
