I should mention that you have to take into account the load in the tow vehicle. That includes anything other than a driver and a tank of fuel. The total of the excess load and the trailer tongue weight shouldn't exceed the load capacity of the tow vehicle. For example, you load up your tow...

If the trailer is sized correctly, Yes. If the trailer is either oversized or undersized, maybe no. By size, I don't mean weight capacity alone but also that the trailer can be adjusted to match the bow eye to transom distance of the hull.

I always state that if a boat looks like it wasn't taken care of, the motor probably wasn't either. There is another side to my argument and that is if a boat that is as in this case 14 years old, looks pristine and it is a brokered boat, it probably was detailed. That is not necessarily a bad...

How did the boat itself look? I ask because my first impression of the service report leads me to suspect that the motor was not well maintained. Usually when a hull is not maintained, neither is the engine.. I am also at a loss to explain why the compression was lower in all three even...

Pass on it.

If you opt for a new control, make sure that you get the configuration instructions for it. Since many of these 'universal' controls can be configured for different brands of motors as well as different orientations, setting one up can be complicated since there can be a zillion combinations of...

The reason I asked is because starboard (HPDE) does nor glue easily, at least not structurally.

How exactly did you glue on starboard? .

I am not sure what you mean. If you need the screws that attach the panel to the dash, just go to a marine store with a sample. Screws are stainless steel.

:)

A rusty and corroded cable will not move smoothly as you originally stated. A broken cable core on the other hand could act that way. Either some of the original stated facts were incorrect or there is something else going on other than just a rusty cable core.

I'd bet the throttle linkage is disconnected ( broken link ?)

ditto

Pressure treated wood should never be used for fiber glassed structures so I assume Grady never did. Marine grade plywood is not the same as PT wood.

Stainless steel needs air to develop its protective properties. Painting stainless can cause issues. It depends on the primer and paint type. Painting bare stainless with metallic (copper) based antifouling paint can lead to serious corrosion

That may not be true for all boaters. It depends on how often you sail and how much fuel you use per trip. In addition, if you want to boat to a distant port, you need to be able to estimate if you can make it SAFELY on a tank. If you burn 100 gallons in a typical week of boating and you boat...

If you are referring to the lids on the two lockers behind the helm seats, a flat sheet of starboard mat not work well . Unlike the aft locker lids which are flat, the forward lids are molded and in order to sit flush with the hinge area, have to be thinner (but with a lip) than starboard would...

Personally I wouldn't exceed the stated max HP purely for liability issues. My insurance company asks what motor is on my boats and I wouldn't lie about the specs. I am pretty sure that if you ask your insurance company about over-powering, they wouldn't approve. Regardless of what others have...

It is possible that like most good quality chargers for lithium batteries, the charger turns off when the battery is charged and does not trickle charge. Maybe you can message the manufacturer and ask

You might get better mileage with one motor up when trolling. The non running motor when left down can add drag
