    Electronics cost

    I'd budget $25k. Are you including a VHF, radio, antennas, GPS antenna, a mount for the RADAR, autopilot? Plus, there are going to be a bunch of incidentals: cables, sealants, antenna mounts, misc. hardware, etc. It adds up pretty qickly. At the risk of spending your money, get what you want...

    Hello and questions for 2001 306 Bimini

    FYI: on my 2018 Canyon with F350s, the scuppers are well above the water. They are in the painted waterline, but out of the water.

    Hello and questions for 2001 306 Bimini

    Hi, Regarding the fuel consumption with the F350s. I have a 2018 Canyon 306 with twin F350s ("C" Series). I cruise at 30 MPH getting 1.4 MPG. (boat goes through most anything at 26-30 MPH) If I run at 47 MPH or greater, then it drops to .8 - 1 MPG. Given that you said you don't fast, fuel...

    2023 Freedom 235 winterize water systems

    Just an FYI, many insurance companies will only cover freeze damage if the winterization was performed by a dealer/yard, etc.

    Spot light recommendations

    I didn't look for battery powered, so I can't offer any suggestions on that aspect.

    Spot light recommendations

    Hi, When you "say" wireless, do you power or remote? ACR (model ACR RCL-95) makes an excellent spotlight wired for power and wireless remote for operation.

    scuffed gelcoat

    I would try some polishing (not rubbing) compound followed by some wax or a cleaner/wax product. I believe polishing compound is about as least aggressive as it gets with still be effective.

    preparing to enter market

    ok.. If you are trailering and doing your own maintenance and winterization, then I'd figure about $3k - $4k for maintenance and minor repairs. Storage is highly variable by area, so I can't comment on that... I hope this helps. Good luck...

    preparing to enter market

    "how about maintenance budgeting?" Hi, Welcome to the forum... Lots of variables here: Are you boating year round? How many hours per year are you running? Are you doing the maintenance yourself? Are you asking about maintenance only or are you also asking about repairs? Are you the "open...

    Sailfish 272 with waterlogged foam?

    Glad it turned out to not be water logged foam. Not being a jerk here, but did you not even try to feel along the bottom? Perhaps now might be a good time to do a full strip of the bottom and start with full redo/refresh of the bottom paint. (Yeah, I love spending OPM.)

    307 Freedom

    Hi, I have a 2018 306 Canyon, which I believe is basically the same hull as the 307 Freedom. I have twin 350s, but feel twin 300s would be perfectly fine. I think it is a great hull. There are those who say it pounds, but I haven't experienced that... A dock neighbor has a 307 and seems to be...

    New Yamaha color ?

    Honestly, I think the whole monochromatic color scheme is too much. I like some contrast.

    newbie needs some help with the head on a Freedom 307?

    To lessen how quickly it fills up: men pee over the side & ask the women to NOT flush every time they pee.... also, to lessen the chance of clogging, do not use too much TP and make sure there is plenty of water to soften the TP... (Don't ask me how I know...really, don't ask.. I don't want to...

    360/370 express questions

    The "C Series" 350s should be fine, but still have the flywheel replacement requirement. FWIW" I am at 430 hours and haven't run into the replacement yet. By white water, do you mean fresh water? If so you could always use a bladder or get small water maker.
