I do if your opinion is it is a good read.

Bronze is not an opinion based on a whim, it's a proven alloy for such things as through hull fittings and marine valves. There is a thing called exercising your valves . Opening and closing them helps to keep them free and working. it's leaving them in one place for like ever when they...

I went to public school and universities, so my reading comprehension and speed might be lacking. if it has pictures and places to color I am good for a read. lol.

I grew up watching rockets and space shuttles head off from the Cape as we watched launches from our house. I saw the Challengwr explode while watching it in real time from my high school. while this is not the same as being in the splash zone, it's not a big deal in my opinion. NASA says...

in a storm situation I would take them off. however, they can take 40 mph wind because they can take your boat going 40 mph for extended period of time while being down.

Ou reef friendly sunscreens do not have the avobenze in them. we tried some out recently in the Keys. They have titanium dioxide in them . it won't hurt your boat too!

Jimmy Buffet would use a cheeseburger in Paradise to solve that carrot juice overdose stuff.

I am not familiar with that style bracket. I have an 08 model and the bracket and full swim platform are nice in my opinion. you do have to work bigger fish around the motor here and there but overall it's a nice set up.

question, would you not want the boat to have some swing? the wind and waves would tend to push the bow into the wind and the stern aft. I would think having the bow into the wind is a good thing as the bow will absorb and deflect wave energy better than say broadside or the stern. Good luck...

sparkdog, a few years back I was in the Abacos in my 228 when at the end of my trip tropical storm Betty formed near the Turks and moved up into the Abacos. We were slated to depart on a Saturday when the storm came. our escape route was cut off and I was forced to spend an extra week in the...

I didn't realize you boated there. have a safe trip. I would be gone today if I were you.

Also, while you are in there and have the switch panel off, clean the contacts with electrical contact cleaner and then spray corrosion block for electrical systems on all the switches. Seasick could be onto something with a faulty ground or the 12 V supply too. electrical grimlins on boats...

There is a lobster season and it's highly regulated very well patrolled by Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. you need to either dive or snorkle to get them by hand and they are strict on minimum carapice size. I have seen guys try take small lobsters and have seen the FWC guys...

um, your escape route is north on US1 to Florida City. Not much to plan...lol. anyone going out of Florida east coast this weekend needs to honestly stay in. I don't eat labsta, but your catch is good.

so, what does he say about the 228? it's a long story,but I use to run a 4 blade prop. I got it from the propgods and it was a power tech. I repowered in 17 and moved it over to the new motor. the new motor is stolen and my insurance bought me a new motor and that one came with the shift...

The real key to the boat and I would suggest the SeaV2 design lies in the use of trim tabs. We had those 15-20 knot winds creating short steep 2-3s with a 4-5 second period and when I dropped those tabs and got it dialed in could comfortably run Hawk Channel around 23-24 without pounding in a...

we need to change the name of the forum to NTL or National Boat Works. it is on the HIN as others said. That's there so when the wood stringers rot and such that the coast guard and salvage people know what they are dealing with.:D. or it's there when the boat gets stolen and logos stripped...

congrats on the boat.Tge 330 is a dream boat of mine personally. if I ever move up it will be a used one. I have fished on a couple of them. it's a great boat. I have boat envy for sure . enjoy her .

the weather will be much better. we had the Hanna embryo hang out with Gusty winds to 40 knots rain anywhere from 60% to 80% from a week ago Saturday to when we departed 2 days ago. it was a great trip to get away from the stress of work during COVID but the last half our trip was weather...
