    Hey Yall: To anyone catching dolphin and wahoo....are you are a skin on the grill cook or are you peel the skin off the fish before you grill? Me, sometimes I am both....I find leaving the skin on the fish it does not dry out as quick when grilling it.

    Best Marine Insurance rates (I could find)....NBOA

    Hi Richard, What are their payouts, copays and so forth? I have USAA for my home and cars and they got out of the boat/RV insurance recently. They set up a program with Progressive for USAA members. My policy on a new boat is replacement costs for the first 5 years and then after that I get...

    Cleaning Vinyl

    Tilex and other cleaners with chlorine bleach in them do work well like Chlorox Clean Up, the problem is chlorine is an oxidizer and it can "eat" the threads used in making the cushions. There is a trade off between using harsher cleaners getting them sparkely clean and the longevity of the...

    a beautiful 208 adventure immigrant

    Trapper, Welcome aboard and congrats on the boat purchase. CJ, depending on your crew size, we really enjoyed our 192 and highly reccommend that boat if you need to downsize a tad, of course the 205 is on the same hull of your old boat, but a good condition 225 at the right price would be a...

    New Freedom 255 DC

    I dont like the name either...it seems they stole it from Jeep or something :lol: I like the boat though. There are days I miss my Tourney 192 and almost bought the 225. But on the smaller boats, I do like the bracket and full stern.

    Rub Rail Help

    El jefe, Are you saying 6 years ago you applied the mop n glo and it is still holding up? :shock: If so, I'm going to Wal Mart tomorrow to get some! I used the meguairs boat vinyl stuff and it holds up for a month or so. This season I was going to try the 303, but the Collinites looks...

    E 10 fuel...mixing with non ethanol

    Thanks..once again, y'all come through. I admit my own ignorance with this topic. Seeing the real potential for head aches, one would think if you buy a new boat or new used boat from a dealer, the dealers or marine association would offer these kinds of tips, especially to those buying a boat...

    E 10 fuel...mixing with non ethanol

    Guys, I am talking about E 10 and nonethanol fuels. Am I to assume the fuel with no ethanol is mtbe fuel? If this is the case I have used ethanol free marina fuel from time to time as needed, like last summer on Lake Hartwell or at Port St. Joe, but most of the time I fill up at the bp near my...

    E 10 fuel...mixing with non ethanol

    Hey yall: I have not followed the ethanol issue until I joined the forum here last year. I was reading on THT the issues of E 10 and separation. I also read never to mix the 2 fuels. I searched here and on THT. I read it is bad, but I honestly do not know why because folks just state it as a...

    What's the beef about Grady on that other boating forum

    SE, I am not an expert on anything. According to GW, their cabins have windows that open. Since my little ole 228 has windows that open, I figured the bigger boats do too. They are not cheap plastic, they look like acrylic or lexan. Are they glass, no. I have been on a Marlin once with...

    What's the beef about Grady on that other boating forum

    Hey, dropped over to the pursuit forum...what do you know. A nice thread on cabin leaks, mold in the cabin on a Pursuit. Who knew the perfect boat leaked? Funny, one poster mentioned the leak on his boat came through the fancy looking windshield and its bolts securing it to the boat....

    What's the beef about Grady on that other boating forum

    Southeast makes statements based on how things "look" not actually function. It seems those things are debateable among reasonable men. He does not like the cheap look of aluminum versus the look of pursuits windshield. That is his preference. It is opinion, not fact those integrated windshield...
