    2004 Grady-White Islander

    not positive, but i think they are all 12v so they can run when you are underway. when at the dock and pluged into shore power, i think it gets converted down to 12v

    Sharrow Props

    there is a THT thread that is i think 70 some pages long on these. the nay-sayers say that there isnt a good comparison where a boat had optimal conventional props before the change to sharrow, and even with the claimed fuel savings, you would darn near need to be a charter boat to really get...

    Boat Separation

    i agree. if i had a boat that stayed in a slip or on a lift lift and didnt have to deal with any winterizing or trailering/ramp, id boat 12 months of the year. snow boating seems like it would be fun.

    Boat Separation

    im done for the year, had a great first year on a boat that i more or less bought without ever seeing. the family loved the lay out, it ran great, and should give us another great season next year. that being said, i am excited for cozy fires and hopefully some snow this year. i guess thats...

    Trim Tab update

    just google "bennet electric trim tab conversion". they are 2-300 bucks. i think you can add on a new dash switch with position indicators for another 3-400 bucks

    Getting ready to….nevermind

    just leave the antenna and put a tennis ball over the tip, or slide a pool noodle over the antenna

    Correct prop size

    to get rpm with those engines will take a pretty small prop and i assume performance will unfortunately not be great. that is a lot of boat for 300 hp. call prop gods to try to get the most you can out of that set up.

    Trailer adjustment

    decide where you want the bunks, take measurements, put the boat in the water, adjust the trailer, put boat back on, check. repeat if necessary. keep in mind that if you have flat top bunks, you want them under the strake. if the bunks are cut at an angle, you want them on a part of the hull...

    Cockpit depth measurement?

    i also think they do it near the stern, where it is at its lowest point. like coastboater said, they just raise the deck on the larger boats to achieve high freeboard and maintain ease of grabbing a fish
