Hello. Great forum here. Just purchased a 99 Bimini 306 with twin Verado 250’s with 800 ish hours. Can anyone give me any tips on owning this boat? It’s in great condition, just looking for some inside information. Thanks in advance!

Congrats on a great boat! I love mine. It’s a tank! 1st thing is reseal all the hatches in the engine well. Mine had bad rubber caskets and the seal around the actual plate was leaking as well. So make sure those are taken care of. My transom where the engines are mounted has a metal cap. That needed to be sealed up as well. I also added another 3000gph Bilge pump with an extra outlet 4” above the factory aft location just for peace of mind. That’s really all I had to do. It’s a great boat with lots of life left. Enjoy!!Hey Mlyons. I just bought a 2000 GW 306 Bimini and saw your post. Curious if there is anything you've learned about the boat that you could share with me? Websites, etc. Thanks in advance.

Im looking at getting a 2002 30 Bimini w/ 300 verados. The transom cap seems to need to be sealed as well, but transom itself seems solid. No stress cracks down back or inside. Have you found any other possible issues that I may look for? Im in the same shoes you were 5 years ago so hoping you may have some insight.Congrats on a great boat! I love mine.
