I learned some stuff here . I was deciding between Makita and DeWalt ,but I wanted cordless. Yah I know the machines can eat up batteries . I chose the Dewalt 20V XR 6 inch random orbit in large part because I have several 4,5 and 6 amp XR DeWalt batteries. I wanted to go a little smaller to...

What ever you buy, don't buy the cheapest one. It doesn't matter if youre just hanging in the bay or not. Cheap antennas bare cheap for a reason the elements are made from inferior conductors like aluminum. They can break internally and you wouldn't know it. I dropped like $240 or something on...

Rob, It's a hard comparison.Its not like you are comparing two identical props made from different materials. The rake and cup are not the same so material difference ,while I think matters, may not be an issue here . Though with that said aluminum flexes more and is thus less effecient. There...

You're looking between $30k and maybe upward of $45K . Does it come with a trailer? Hard top ? Options? As stated above ,electronics ? Are they 20 years old and relatively new ? I just spent close to $3,000 upgrading my stereo, replacing all the speakers with JL stuff and adding a Garmin GXM 54...

Male sure the tires are inflated to max pressure . Typically ST tires are not rated for speeds above 65 mph. Go under 65 . Make sure your wheel bearings are greased and the brakes are not sticking or hanging up. They will induce friction and thus heat Heat kills grease, bearings and hubs ...

If your stern is in good shape , then consider repowering that boat. A new F150 on the back makes the 192 just hum. I had a192 and put a F150 on her ..Great boat .

Is the stern solid? Did you keep water our of it and keep that joint between the hull and cap water tight? If so, the saying goes new motor equals new boat. If the hull is good I would repower.

Without power it sold for just over $44K !!!!!!

Oh, you got to get the squirrel tails and heads out of the boat too. It's a perpetual problem for some. Nothing better than splashing the boat with friends and family and have a random squirrel head roll out . Talk about embarrassing. My two cats use the boat as their lare in the fall. The...

Y'all gave a good list . If it's going to happen , it's going to happen out there boss. Captain Ron. I always inspect my hoses and clamps on through hills..also, if you have pyrotechnic flares ,make sure they are not out of date . The Coast Guard will ding you. side note, I live in the sticks...

Don't forget the anchor locker . It too drains to the bilge after running all day I might get at most a 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of water. Sometimes I get no water . On the other hand I see guys at the ramp with other boats and they pull the plug and half the ocean or river comes pouring out.

I would install it after for all the reasons listed above

I used existing factory holes . I don't like holes either. I have Sony ,Bose and altec Lansing blue tooth speakers . They are a great audio source for outdoors . For me I really wanted XM radio and the weather package as well as audio . A portable blue tooth speaker didn't meet my wants...

If they still made the 228 or one day being it back. Just add 6 tiny inches to the beam amidships. It would make walking through the companion way easier for my fishing buddy Ben who is a big guy . It's a small thing but man would it make it nicer . Sometimes I don't think Grady understands...

I have Progressive through USAA. They have been great. When my new Yamaha motor was stolen with just 8 hours on it, the stroked the pen for all of it , no deductible . I am insured with an an agreed value of $100k and I maxed out my liability. I also have riders for tackle and electronics as...

You are wrong..I posted pics of us fishing this past Saturday out of Ponce Inlet Florida . So, no the last post wasn't from February it was three days ago.

I have that cable on back order or something so I am told. I would love to get two MFDs .

I like you guys . Y'all get into the nitty gritty of boat weights and stuff. I admire your attention to detail . In the big picture of it all a couple hundred pounds one way or the other doesn't make a difference here . His Chevy can tow the boat and it should stop it too. Would towing in the...

You might experience better fuel economy given the later tech and more horsepower . If the supply chain garbage wasn't happening I would say search for a pair of used 4.2 liter 250s. That motor shaves an additional 67 pounds off of the 3.3iter motors . So you would be over 130 pounds lighter...

Hey Y'all, My youngest turned 21 Sunday. On Saturday my friend Coconut took us out bottom fishing on his 330 ..Great boat and even better person. Caught a bunch of the rare and elusive red snapper . . Sunday we splashed the 228 and ran from Flager Beach to St. Augustine on the ICW to the...
