    Does Rising Gas Prices Matter?

    It WILL happen. :( More boat and engine manufacturers need to be looking at alternative power just like the auto folks are doing. I'm not particularly fond of Scout boats, but at least they're exploring hybrid technology. http://www.scoutboats.com/press5.html I believe they had a...

    2008 Tournament 275 pics

    That's a nice rig prodiver. :) Call me crazy, but I think the seat height and lack of a full height bow rail is a huge safety issue. I have three kids (6 mos., 5 and 9) and there is no way I would let them ride up there. Take a wave the wrong way and over they go. Be careful.

    Painting Stainless Yamaha Props

    Yamaha DID paint their SS props black at some point. I'm not sure what their reasoning was but I have heard some people say that it was done to deter theft. Most thieves will pass right by a black prop thinking that it's AL...

    Clorox Clean-Up. Hang them up and spray them down. That stuff works great. :)

    Prop Issues for a 225 OX-66

    Mirage Plus, Revolution 4 and Enertia from Merc. should all work well. They have the Flo-Torq II removalble hub system that allows them to work on non-Merc engines. All you need is the correct hub kit.

    Adventure or Seafarer

    I could be crazy, but when I was last in a GW showroom I checked out both the 208 and the 228. The cabin on the 208 actually seemed larger...

    27 Sailfish Cavitation Issue

    Before you go changing anything with the transducer, motor height, etc., pull that prop to make sure you don't have a spun hub.
