    It's official - 228 is no more :-(

I don't get the increased demand for dual console but the market has spoken. Guess overnighting in boats is a thing of...

    Battery Question

    I have the 2004 Sailfish with the same set up and I rarely use both batteries positions together. I keep the parallel batteries on 1 and the single on 2. This way you always will have one bank charged should the other one die. if one side does die you can always switch to both once you have...

    Transom cap on twin engine boats replacement cost

    That is a novel approach never thought of that. I did think of maybe doing a temporary approach of putting a couple of pieces of plastic trim over existing cap around the worst sections.

    GW Delivery Delays?

    A neighbor ordered a 34 Pursuit last August and is not getting delivery until late May. Sound like it is an industry wide issue across boat and engine manufacturers.

    Cut, buff, wax.

    Wow that's burn is a shame after such a great job on 99% of the boat. i assume the that will require re-gelcoating or just paint? A good fiberglass guy should be able to blend those repairs right in.

    What bottom paint are you using this year

    I have been using Hyrdocoat for many years now and have very little growth after 6 months in the water. Its water based, goes on easy and I find we don't get the build up we used get with the albative paints. Clean up is easy since it is water based. I'm in Mass on the South Shore.
