No...I haven't used a bag. I troll out in the ocean and wind and tide affect my speed quite a bit. I would be constantly taking the bag in and letting it out again every time I turned. I can get down to 2mph though...so I am really ok without it.

I troll a ton with a single 225 E Tec......hours and hours. Fuel consumption is negligible while trolling. It is running with a bunch of lardasses and a load of fuel and ice in the boat that I think about. As Seasick said there are a ton of variables too.....2 stroke? 4 stroke? Hull?

Is this what you are looking for? I found this online....not my boat. I would think you will have to get a local canvas guy to make it for you.

Welcome Bern and good luck with your new boat. The only thing I can offer is that I used SS Hooks and eyes from Perko for my splash board. Much sturdier in my opinion. There are several sizes available.

I have had 2 different Offshores...1st one had a Yammi 250...brand new...topped out at 41mph...light load and trimmed .....2nd one I bought with a 225 E Tec.....tops out at 37mph...and I have never felt under gunned. I fish and cruise a bit...no tubing or skiing The way things are today...if...

I build fishing rods as a hobby...for my own use and close friends & family. They pay for components and I build at my leisure.....usually over the winter. I am constantly told I should do it as a small business....charge people for my work etc. Nope....the minute somebody is paying me they...

Hi Lou.....I have Lenco electric tabs....they are SS.

Hi Thanh. Your test seems to have worked just fine.

Can't help you with the zincs but I can tell you that you are not the only one who struggles with growth on their trim tabs. It seems nothing really wants to stick very well to the SS. I use my ablative bottom paint at the beginning of the season (Late April) and then clean them off a few times...

Here is another one.......I was returning from an early May striper fishing trip in Jamaica Bay NY where I grew up. The water was still very cool but the air had warmed up considerably and there was a pretty dense fog. The tide was pretty high which allowed us to take a shortcut through a marsh...

I was a teenager and took my Dad's Mako out fishing with a few buddies. We were 5 or 6 miles from home when the water pump crapped out on the outboard. A passing sailboat saw us in trouble and towed us all the way back in. This very nice couple and their kids spent their Saturday morning...

My brother in law convinced me to hire a local guy who was "down on his luck" to help do some of the work on the boat to get it ready one spring...painting the bottom....cleaning etc....then also to help prep it for winter storage....covering it etc. I did and overpaid the guy both times....only...

I am not sure how you intend to use it but I have been using a portable tank from Moeller and it has worked ok for me. https://www.jamestowndistributors.com/product/product-detail/97599

Loads of starboard cup holder \storage trays available at Boat Outfitters. I mounted one near the helm.

Don't have the pump yet.....the one I have is just a typical bilge pump. Think I want one with hose barbs in and out.

So....If I may interrupt? :) I am thinking I need a seacock/ball valve combo, with a 90 degree hose barb....a foot or two of hose into my pump.....then several feet of hose out of the pump which I can attach to my portable tank when needed....sound right? I don't think I can use a pump that...

Skunk....I guess what I described would give me that 2fer....no? I would just connect to the tank for a livewel l.....or just use it as a washdown. Either way I need the seacock and pump in the bilge....right?

Beautiful!!! Best of luck with her.
