If in an area subject to snow and freezing, your cover choices and mounting options will be more critical. That is especially important if you are not able to check the boat 'every' day when there is inclement weather or strong winds. Ponding water as well as ponding water that freezes can...

You didn't say what your figures are nor how you run the boat. The newer 336s with twin 425s running about 3500 revs and 25 mph, seem to get about 1 to 1.1 mpg. With the added drag of your trips, you may get less than that number

The filling while cruising can be an advantage since it keeps the well constantly filled with fresh water. The livewell when full will drain into the overflow drain or standpipe. So when using the live well, I would keep the seacock open. If you want to keep the well 'dry' you will need to shut...

It depends on what bigger means and bigger than what? Two 5 inch displays will probably work better than one 9 inch and depending on what info you need to display, maybe better than one 10 inch. The advice to go to a marine store and play is good advice. See how the multi-window screens look...

If you look closely, it is a model 2088-. Those are generally potable water pumps. In addition, there is a tee fitting on the output hose and is pretty common for fresh water distribution to two devices like a sink and a aft shower spray

There are lots of SS offerings on EBay but I cab assure you that if you get one of those kits with about 300 pieces for about $25 the quality is not going to be great. Same goes for the Nickle plated. There are plenty of low quality options. I went with Sailrite as my source. The last piece I...

Trim tab unit for sure but the pump could be fresh water as opposed to raw. The fresh water setups usually have a filter screen that you see attached to the pump

Are you sure the hose is 1 inch. 1 1/8 inch is what I would expect he boat to have.

Perhaps having the pump in the tank helps keeps it primed and offers the greatest suction force as opposed to a separate pickup, and hose to an external pump. Having the pump external but on the tank iss probably just as good but makes the overall specifications of the assembly bigger and limits...

I am pretty sure Grady knows but I am not so sure they will tell you. There used to be a site like Carfax for boats. I can't remember its name. Of course, you could ask the seller if he or she has the original sales invoice:)

Assuming you have an overboard discharge option it would be under the hull and close to the holding tank. There would be a seacock on it.

Pretty much standard as far as diameters and shaft size goes. You need to get the correct type of course. Look at the Sailrite web site. They have all types. You will need to decide on material, stainless or chrome plated. The stainless parts are harder to 'rivet' There are three types of tools...

here is one example. https://www.easternmarine.com/venture-trailer-crossbar-13070 you have to verify your length, box size, gauge and style ( drop, etc.) Search for boat trailer replacement parts and you will find several vendors. I have used Eastern Marine as well as ETrailer. Both are...

Dealers are still taking orders. It's about 5 or 6 months till spring!

If your separation ( I am not sure what you mean) is rust related, you may have rust elsewhere and that can be hard to detect since trailers often rust from the inside out. Use a hammer to tap and listen for dull thuds. You should take a good look at the brakes, springs and equalizer brackets...

I can't speak about the holding tank access but the fridge is fairly simple. Note that marine fridges are not the same as a regular compact mini fridge. The primary requirement is to get a unit that fits the old opening if possible and it should be possible. Find you current make and see what is...

It's all about supply and demand and buyer sentiment has a lot to do with demand. Heck, if I could predict the market, I wouldn't have to worry about price. A boat is worth what someone is willing to pay for it:)

In general the guidelines are: If old paint is ablative you can repaint with ablative after a scrub with something like a scotchbrite pad.. Usually if the old paint is not peeling, you do not have to sand. You can nor apply hard coat over ablative. The ablative has to be removed. If you are...

I think that the demand from Ian will not be great in the near-term. First of all a lot of folks lost their homes as well as their boat. Secondly, many marinas were partially or totally destroyed. It will be a while before those get back to normal if ever. There is another issue that is hard to...

Very true. There is a reason why some brands are 3 times or more, the cost of the 'imports'
