    Livewell/ Fish boxes re Rubber Seal

    It seems like everyone’s boat on this site but mine has a rubber runner/ seal/ gasket going around their livewell and fish boxes. Any idea where I can get this? I checked out Home Depot and all I could find was the rubber foam tape that looked like it would absorb water. What’s the purpose...

    Bottom Paint Questions

    I also called Petit to ask about the Odyssey paint and when I can use. The guy said I can paint now and not drop in until March. He said the temperature was key though, 50-90 Didn't realize they were based out of NJ

    Bottom Paint Questions

    Ha! I was just looking at your pic and wondering why! I wasn’t sure if you were one of those people that put a cone in front of their driveway so nobody uses it to turn around in. Is it to displace the weight??? It’ll be on rocks...

    WM pulled the rug out on my GPS plans

    Yes, they do. Policy seems to be a little inconsistent store to store. Just saw that Bass Pro/ Cabelas have none available. Think folks are buying it and then getting them to price adjust next week.

    Grady White Boat Cover

    One other note....saw someone getting the green fisher canvas rather than the tan one. See the price of it. I think it would be a good option for your marlin as it’s lighter...

    WM pulled the rug out on my GPS plans

    Haha....so odd. See if you can price match with cabelas (or buy directly from them). Before you get too excited, stop in and see if they have any inventory in their store or the warehouse. Which WM are you going to? It’s on display in Woodbridge....

    Baitwell and wash down valves, can you run with those open?

    x2 Opened it up to put a fluke in there and thought I left the ice at the dock.... glad I’m not the only one that made that mistake

    Baitwell and wash down valves, can you run with those open?

    If you plan to be underway with them open, just make sure your wash down cap is secured. Mine wasn’t tightened enough and had water dripping out when running.

    WM pulled the rug out on my GPS plans

    Ok - I didn’t think there was any difference between the UI on the GOs vs Elites. If you liked the Elite, you’ll probably like the GO series

    WM pulled the rug out on my GPS plans

    On clearance but will be cheaper on Black Friday... It’s probably just getting replaced by a newer model, similar to the GO9 (GO7 was already replaced and not on sale) It’s really your price point. I could have gotten the GO7 for 50 less than the GO9 but thought the GO9 was the better...

    Advice on raising scuppers?

    I’m not following how the top of the scupper being a 1/4in below the deck is going to work. Doesn’t that mean the water will sit between the 90degree cockpit drain and the scupper? My 90 degree elbow seems to be in line with the scupper (2000)

    WM pulled the rug out on my GPS plans

    If it’s any consolation, I liked the GO9 better since it’s radar capable. Basically same UI, but a more modern look without the buttons. If your heart is set on the Elite 9 TI2 check out bass pro shops/ Cabela’s Black Friday...Also a deal on the 12in 9in for 599.97 12in for 999.97 If you...

    Bottom Paint Questions

    Thanks for all the feedback. I was thinking of getting just one boat stand and resetting the blocks after I take the weight off. Then do the same on the other side. Probably more of a hassle and a risk as the block would probably now be sitting 4-5ft from the stern vs the stand just a foot...

    Bottom Paint Questions

    Just thinking this through... Trying to figure out how to paint the bottom of my boat where it is sitting on the blocks. Every thread and video mention just moving the stands. However, if it is on blocks, will I be able to put a boat stand next to it, spin it enough that it takes the weight...

    Motorwell drains

    Regarding the flared ends, if you buy the scupper drains/ thruhulls, do you need to flare those also? All the pics I see seem to be flared already. Am I missing something?
