Great ideas. so Grog, good idea to maybe put a plate on top and extend it so I can drill/bolt through plate/hardtop and through pipe which will greatly strengthen the plate. Maybe no need to find a welder then? I will check with the dealer on opportunity to help with this and maybe has a local...

Anyone? I have firmed the deal. Should take delivery this weekend if all goes as planned. Looks like the Lee Outrigger holders are really nice and are easy to put up and down. I see they have a 4" X 6" mounting plate. Seems it would be much better if I fabricated a nice larger piece of heavy...

Hi folks, I have made an offer on a 92 Sportbridge. Extremely excited, but reserved for now until it is in my hands. I have a very curious question for you at this point as my mind is running. Outriggers: This boat has never had any installed. I prefer hardtop mounted riggers so no restriction...

I had the same problem a while back. The check valve at the tank entrance was clogged with some particles. Pulled the fitting off the tank and found a sliver of plastic stuck in there, so cleared it out and put it back together and problem resolved. Likely, you have some junk in the tank and it...

Interesting, I had looked at the option of Suzuki 175's in comparision to Yamaha 150's to get maximum HP for weight ratio. Haven't been able to get any feedback from anyone, so how do you like them? Feel free to bragg or complain! Not sure why Yamaha hasn't closed that gap on 175's from the...

I am excited to hear that they are working to make the 275 more fishable. I now have a 20' dual console bowrider and like it and have been thinking on nothing but a WA model to get more out of the weather and to be able to sleep a few hours if needed, but now I have a place at the coast so no...

Great info ocnslr! Seems the 150's do a really great job! I would still strongly consider them if the bigger engines were not available. Cruise and top end are very good based on your experience! :D Also, I noticed you pic is on the water. Do you have bottom paint? If you are pushing...

I hear ya, but have heard from some folks in the past that running on plane on one engine will not destroy the engine if you don't try to kill it wide open. Just get it up on plane and get home. So, 15 to 18 mph would do fine, but just don't try to hammer it home. On a single engine that...

The comparison in the 268 to 270 change was that the 270 was made to support the heavier 4 stroke motors. They made the hull full length to the transom instead of a stepped hull I think is how it was described on the 268. Haven't been able to compare that to see for myself. I would be...

I am sure it is here posted somewhere, but for just a quick answer, Between the 23 Bracket with twin 150's or 200's, can this boat plane on one engine if needed vs the 25 Journey Euro that I would be sure would do so on a single 150? I have heard the bracket's transom configurations are not...

NC law was no boats over 8'6" and if so, you had to have a permit that was very restrictive to banners, flags, etc and could not tow at night or on Sunday. Lots of impact to the state over the last year, so the vote went in and Gov. Easley veto'ed. The Veto was overridden and was the first...

I wonder why since this is the largest 8'6" trailerable model, well before the new law went into affect that now allows us to trailer wider boats, but I really would like to see it an an in-between. The 25 is just a tad too small in some areas such as the cabin headroom and the 28-29's are...

Do you think they will bring back this walkaround? I just recently found one used and looked it over. I was so impressed I couldn't stand it. But, I can't go there yet. Maybe in about a year I can, so hoping that now that the 290 Chesapeake is out, they will bring back the 270 so that they will...
