Here's my regimen - took me about 3 hours or so to do the outside of the boat last weekend. 4 steps to it... Supplies needed - 3M Super Duty Compound, Collinite 920 Fiberglass Boat Cleaner; 870 Fleetwax, Star-Brite Polish with PTEF, applicators, orbital (I use a Shurhold), wool pads (at least...

Get a 5x5 piece of 1/4 inch starboard in the GW color. Buy any flush mount horn assembly. Drill a hole in the starboard and mount the horn to it. Then you can mount the panel over the existing hole. I had to do the same thing to my 180. Fin Addict Marine or FL Marine Plastics can make the...

Do you have a wire fish? They run about $10 at Home Depot. Remove the L shaped trim panel that is to the right of your right leg when you are standing at the helm. I think it's held by six screws if I recall. This will give you easy access to the rigging tubes. There are 2 parallel...

The part number is Airhead AHTH-8HD. My local dealer has them, as does West Marine. Call me if you want me to pick one up over the weekend and ship it to you Monday.

Zimm...that's the one I have....I bought it off eBay for about $14. The seller was local so I was able to pick it up and save the shipping. It gets around the motor (on my 225 with a bracket) with no issue....should work well in your setup.

Will Platinum sell you one? I think-for you - freight is going to be a killer unless you look at Trail Rite, Pacific, etc...

I'm almost certain they are a reseller of Nextrail trailers....just as Boat Trailers Direct resells Fastload, etc... Where are you located?

Re: Worst fear realized on my 190 Tournmanet The gas tank won't last forever...the good news is it's not a huge deal to replace it. I purchased mine from RDS in Perry FL and it fit perfectly. They have the plans on file and will custom manufacture the tank, and UPS it to your door. The...

I purchased an extra long (14') one...clips are fine...if you have a bracket, you need the longer length. It works fine. In your case, a standard bridle should work fine...

I owned one with a 150....ran 44 mph and had plenty of kick to pull skiers and tubers. I ran one with a 200 HPDI and it topped out at around 48 or so....if it was mine and I played with the props I probably could hit 50. The F150 is stronger than a 2 stroke 150....45-46 MPH is probably a...

I found the extra cover in the garage over the weekend. If anyone wants it, PM me. Just cover the cost of shipping and it's yours. Atlanta-20130505-00004.jpg by parthery, on Flickr

I had the same problem on my 180. If you take a 5x5 piece of 1/4 starboard, you can cut a hole for a new round horn in it and it will cover the existing hole perfectly. If you aren't motivated to cut and round it off yourself, FL Marine Plastics or Fin Addict can make one for you. I think it...

First....welcome....and know that we are a much happier crowd when you post pics. We call it "boat porn." :grin: You can register and download the owners manual for the boat on GW's website...the manual will have the schematics including tanks, rigging tubes, etc... The 1994 192 had a...

With as long as both of us have been on the GG forum, I'm surprised it took us 8 years to disagree :) I may be wrong - but I'm guessing Smoky's 228 sits on a 6000 capacity tandem trailer....with the weight of the trailer it comes in around 6800 or so. Magic Tilt probably spec'ed a 14" tire...

If your trailer has 14s, the only tire worth buying is the Kumho 857. Discount Tire or Tire Rack seems to be the only place to buy them. Glad that you didn't have any more damage from the tire failure...Marathon's unfortunately are junk.

Glad to hear you had a good experience with New Wire...I'm about to pull the trigger on an order with them to replace my panels....

If you have a new 225, with the gauges mounted up high and a big open space on the right for your GPS/FF, then it's a little trickier. I actually preferred the older style dash with the electronics box, because then you could do something like this: IMG-20130406-00010.jpg by parthery, on...

My Spring regimen last year was 3M Super Duty, followed by Collinite, followed by Star Brite with PTEF. This year, I'm going back to the tried and true...Collinite Cleaner followed by Fleetwax. Everyone seems to swear by the paste wax but I have used the liquid and gotten good results and it's...

If list is $100K, I would think probably $80-$85K real world....

Zimm....looks good. Do your registration numbers in the same 2-tone colors and it will look sharp. I've always used Boat/US for their graphics....decent price and you get them in 3 days or so....
