feels good to finally be ready, i can relate. lets us know how the first outing goes.

as many of you know, i replaced the fuel tank myself this off season. wednesday last week, i finally got her out for the first time. (just writing this now because i had an out of town wedding right after) the high notes: everything related to the fuel tank went perfect. i had pre-filled the...

what did grady want to replace the deck drain hoses?

also, as i understand, its designed to be used after use. this way it prevents any corrosion as well. some use it on cars after driving on salted roads

short or long list of things?

im not sure either. there are a couple spots where you can see color through the gel, possibly from previous repairs. nothing significant by any means. i plan to maintain this with polymer sealant 2x a year and store inside for winter. maybe in 10 years, ill paint her with some stars and...

are the current props cavitating when heavy following seas, or ventilating? two very different issues.

salts gone is supposed to be a very high quality product. so far, i have been fresh water only, so no personal experience.

nothing to spool up. SK Ride is not a gyro. it replaces trim tabs and has a motion sensing pack that feeds a computer which adjusts the trim "blades" up to 100 times a second to correct for pitch, roll, and running attitude. instant effect and maintenance shouldnt be much more than regular...

after 24 years of life outside and in the sun (part being FL sun), the gelcoat had some oxidation and would rub some chalk off onto your fingers. i was going to try to restore it myself, but i was going to be in $700 in tools and supplies. and i would be trying to get it right my first time...

not sure how i missed the update on this thread from november, but im glad you are getting some good numbers now. are you still happy with the new props?

if you have the $$ to toss at SK Ride, its seems to be a tremendous improvement in all aspects of the boats ride. i dont think you would be disappointed. you just have to have to be able to swallow the price tag.

lots of progress: i finally finished up the fuel tank replacement job. still putting fuel in the tank with 5 gallon jugs so i can have enough to run to my fuel dock of choice. she IS water ready though and i plan to take her out wednesday for the first run of the season! while the leaning...

wow. maybe you got the first one!

is that at a marina? if so, its pretty cool they let you build that there. do you own or rent the slip?

not to nitpick, but the hulls are ALMOST exactly the same. the '99 should have the euro transom / step 2 ft forward of the transom. the 273 has the full-length running surface

pics...?

nice, how did you like the ride?
