Thanks. I agree. I am excited and look forward to running the boat soon.

Hi Guys: I am not the one who needs others validation for my boating addiction choices. You know the guys on other forums who do this in threads comparing two boats or brands of motors. However, I am just days away from picking up my boat. I paid Mid Carolina to hang a 4.2 liter Yammaha F250...

I have a Garmin 24XHD radar. I mounted it straight to my hard top and it's ok. I am putting a 3 Degree wedge under it. It would lose targets too far out for my liking. I know radars have a blind spot close to the boat. I am hoping the wedge does the trick . I trailer the boat and considered...

See above. Use a contact cleaner for electrical circuits. Buy new bulbs and give it a whirl . You could pull down the socket and inspect the wire connections.

Welcome Aboard matey! Sweet boat! Take care of her and she will take care of you.

Without seeing the radius of the hole it is difficult to say if the 7.7 will fit. I have done my share of care speaker installation and the basket (speaker frame) and depth are the issue, but I suspect you know this. I am saying depends on how the JL basket angles in or tapers is the issue...

My boat is in Columbia right now 3 hours away. I don't recall the mounting height or bolt hole position. With that said, with a 15.25 x17 4 blade prop with a F250 it tops out around 42. I don't know how much you will gain or lose by moving the motor up. If you have the tools and time to move...

As I read Harpoons suggestion is you need to take a big dude or Amazon like lady and have them stand on the motor and bounce . You need dynamic forces to see if there is flexing going on. As I understand your reply it seems if you are suggesting just adding static weight. I am not a...

Is this boat in Port Orange,FL? If so, I know it and I am friends with the guy who repowered the boat in 2012. If not, then never mind. I was on an Express 330 repowered in 12 and it was sweet with 300s. Just say'n

Awesome!

The 205 is a 20 foot hull and 225 is a 22 foot hull before the bracket. They are two different boats. It is more than 2 feet of length as volume and displacement go up.

I had a192 and stepped up to the 228. It was a significant difference in how the boat handles and space. The 225 has a bracket and the cockpit is really spacious for a 22 footer. You will notice the space difference between the two boats. The 225 will ride better and the 205 is just a tad...

If your boat is on a trailer I would wash the bilge using either simple green or a bilge cleaner product. I would pop all the pie plates and storage compartments that connect in anyway to the bilge. Wash it then take a fan or two and force air to below decks to get drier air circulating ...

The wider the array the better target separation you get, but you knew that. I was hoping to acquire birds with it but you really need an open array for birds . I do think you will notice some features of the XHD that HD might not have,but since I have never run the HD units I am not certain...

That's funny right there...I tried that crap once , you will be back. I agree ...Give it time and another boat will be calling you like the siren temptress boating truly is.congrats on selling your Grady .

Other than temps, why not test both now unless the dealers are closed ? All boats ride great in flat conditions. Why not test both in a bit rougher water because after all that's what counts right? Take advantage of the slow time and not perfect water conditions to get a better feel for the...

Bo, My head unit is a 4208 so I am running new tech radar on old tech plotter as it were. I don't have anything to compare it too in terms of performance. With that said, I like it. I know all radars have a blind spot the closer you get to the boat. I think I could get better target...

I have been a collinites guy for about 8 years now. I might try the starbrite product. Collinites makes a liquid wax. It is easy to spy but sometimes it's harder to remove. I have used 3Ms Finesse to remove light oxidation. Last year DocStressor told me to use acetone to clean the rub rails and...

Take it from a guy who has suffered a number of road side issues trailering down 95. More is better and a tandem axle trailer with disc brakes on all 4 wheels is the way to go. If you have a blow out with tandem wheels you might be able to limp to an exit or rest area and deal with the tire...

Thanks a bunch.
