The beam is 9'6". It might be a case of the tail wagging the dog. Not sure I would want to tow that 300 miles with an F150 every time I wanted to go fishing.

Go slow and don't tailgate. That is what I tell myself and follow. I go 65 MPH on the interstate and just take it easy. You won't have any problems.

How far will you be towing?

I can see why he is your "Buddy". I doubt your wife would see it exactly like that !

FWIW, I have used surveyors 3 times in the last couple of years. What I did to reduce the fee was to ask them to not give a complete detailed survey, but to look specifically at the issues relating to the transom, floors,hatches etc. I did not need a written report, but their evaluation along...

Russ, That looks great!! Good luck with the deal.

Russ as per your request.

Russ, If you are considering the 258, the beam is only 8'6", so trailering would be a non issue. That is one of the reasons why the 248 appealed to me, since it is strictly a "trailer" boat. Best of luck. Pretty exciting stuff. I just got the 248 10 days ago, so I know the feeling.

Thanks for the reply. Looking forward to seeing how the switch panel comes out. Everything about mine works fine, but I would just like to freshen things up.

Is that the material that you used in the picture with the Simrad ?

LIG, Do you have a link to Rvinyl ? I tried to search but could not narrow it down. Is that the material that you used in the picture with the Simrad ?

I am looking forward to seeing your results. I was thinking of using something like this.

LIG, I am still considering the carbon fiber vinyl wrap over the old panel. My switches all work and don't look bad. I just have not come up with a good way to label each switch. To me that is where it gets difficult to get everything symmetrical and looking the way it would if professionally...

Several years ago I used Chris Carson. I think he is in the Keys? He has been in the rebuilding business for many years and would give a warranty. He was easy to work with and I was satisfied with the results. You should be able to google him I would think.

Parthery, What MPH do you get at 5400 RPM? I have a 17" Mirage plus that I am thinking of trying on my 223.

That really looks great with the acrylic in the second picture. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Beats the alternative. Haha.

Well I couldn't help myself. Too old for such things but I did it anyway. Really excited about what adventures may come. 1999 GW 248 voyager with twin Yamaha 150's.

I have the older style McGill switches and want to go to the Carling switches. The mounting holes are not the same.

Smokey, I hope the next 10 years are the best ones yet. Enjoy!!
