    Yeah u right on that one. She likes to stuff her face on a following sea. Especially in big rolling swells. Keeping trim up and the boat level to avoid using tabs is very important.

    Looking for 208 and finding scams

    Lol that one with the 250 Suzuki has been floating around as a scam for awhile. There is a lot of scams. Mainly the seafarer and adventurer. Dead give away is the palm trees and the price that looks cut in half.

    265 Express/Suzuki DF200APXW2

    Also from what I gather, with four blade props you can run them one hole up on the transom. Get a little more rpm and speed? Idk

    Check your live well overflow 226 208 and others

    Way I found what was leaking is plug the thru hull on the side and fill the livewells. That way it fills the piping and you can see if it’s sealed. When boat is rocking in waves the side thru hulls go under water leaking water into bilge. Even if it’s a drip, over the course or eight hours I bet...

    Bait Table / Fillet Table

    Lol Yeah I gotta copy his because it is nice having the bait right there vs in the rod holder in the gunnel. If anything does fall off it’s in the boat.
