going PLB. time to decide which exact one

overall, i do agree with you. i was just stating that an argument can be made when a 4' could be a good choice for a smaller boat. for my boat, a dome like you mentioned is plenty good.

go to a local canvas shop and have them made for you

a smaller boat could have a tower. that could put the radar twice as high off the water. OP has a marlin, that could easily handle a good size tower. it can also be used for tracking weather. storm cells are detectable over very long distances. plus, a 4' open will give better quality /...

looking at buying one of the two. the ACR (depending on model) is about $100 more but has no subscription fee. the garmin has subscription fees but also has messaging ability. the ACR has 24-28 hours of battery life when activated. the InReach has up to 90 hours of battery when 10 minute...

whats the size of the boat have to do with it? the radar is for detecting targets regardless of what size boat its on. the radar should be spec'ed for how the cap plans to use it and what targets he wants to find at what distance

i have never done the ceramic coating, but i know that a good wax will help prevent oxidizing, keep the shine, and make it easier to clean. some people like wax, some like ceramic. from what ive seen they essentially do the same thing. hopefully someone with a bit more detailing knowledge can...

so as most of you know, i have been working on replacing the fuel tank. im also replacing the lines from the tank to the racors. obviously, this new line will have air in it. how do i purge the air from the system, and where does the air come out? sorry if this is a rookie question, havent...

a florida boat wont have any freeze/thaw cycles. given that its likely either way to get a wet transom, id rather have one that stayed above freezing OP - might be a good time to have a lawyer send a letter. sucks to go down that path, but it just might be the nudge they need to cover the...

i didnt know seattle got that cold. i spent a bit of time in Astoria and thought it was pretty mild up there. i guess seattle is a bit off the ocean though, so that does make sense

i have a boss headunit. it has bluetooth connectivity for play back. is that what you are asking about?

ive had no problems. was you question about an actual grady component, or was it better suited for yamaha?

was the 175 too much? i would not likely go with less hp. i would probably call grady and see if the hull is rated for 200 and try to make that happen.

you can still go out if you want, though. contrary to popular belief, there really is more to boating than fishing. we typically cant boat at all over the winter, marinas are closed, floating docks pulled onto land, sub freezing temps.

id more or less have to agree with dennis but with a minor difference. either keep it as is or go down to "grab rail" height. it might be nice to still have something to grab onto from time to time. doing this would probably eliminate the ability for someone to ever safely ride or walk up...

they will have plastic "edge protectors" over the corner of the side corners of the tank where the straps would have contacted the tank. the edge protectors will also have 5200 under them

im on a trailer and "could" be on the water now (MD & DE waters), but am still bilge deep in my fuel tank replacement. i cant wait to get out. that first time pulling away from the dock will feel sooooo good

i made a bit more progress over the weekend ang got the neoprene glued on. single layer down the middle two rows and double layer for the outer two rows to match the contour of the hull better. i ended up using an entire caulk gun tube of 5200 and one toothpaste style tube as well.

nothing is touching my tank other than 5200 (used to secure closed cell high density neoprene). 3 aluminum bands over the top of the tank should be more than enough to hold the tank down. it was recommended by the company that fabricated my tank

x2 on Ken. that being said, it sounds like keeping all other parameters the same and going to a 15" should get you where you want to be rpm wise
