I'll be at Paynes dock. Im fishing the Tri State Canyon Shootout tournament which is August 1st-4th. Its being held out of the Boat Basin.

You should defiantly install them. The prevent water from flowing back up into the engine.

Here is the email I got from my marina describing the reason for the charges. From what I gather they are just trying to make an extra buck. Looks like i am going to find a new marina next year! "Let me explain our XXXX XXXXX Marina Contractor policy which has been in place for a number of...

My marina has mercruiser certified mechanics but the marina is not a mercruiser certified dealership.

Im really haveing a problem with my marina's policy of haveing outside contractors work on my boat on the marina grounds. They charge $50 for every day you have any outside contractor work on your boat. On every occasion which has been about 6 times in the last year I had to have the dealership...

I knew it! That boat was for sale at Bassett Boat Co. now Bassett Marine which was bought out by Marine Max. Marine max came in and bought up all of Bassett Boat Co's assets. I purchased my current 270 AJ from Bassett in 2008. If you want to know what your boat was listed for before it was...

Youngin19 congrats!!! The 290's are great combos for cursing and fishing! I noticed that the boat was previously registered in Rhode Island. Does the boat have about 200 hours on the engines? Does it have a genset?

What do you clean/prep your transducers with prior to painting? I'm going to be using MDR Transducer paint. Thanks

I know the can says min temp of 50 degrees but why? Will applying paint @ 47 degrees screw something up?

I would like to apply bottom paint this weekend but up here in Connecticut it's forcast to be a high of 47 degrees on Sunday. Is this to cold to apply bottom paint? What can go wrong if I apply it when it is 3-5 degrees cooler out than the min temp required as stated on the instructions for...

Get a cat 2 manual epirb and keep it in a ditch bag that is easily accessible.

Yeah I feel the same way about ours too. The build quality is great and the layout is good too. It has a good amount of power and being able to cruise at 30 MPH at about 2 mpg is good too. My only complaint is the forward V berth and how hard the padding is. It looks like we are going to try and...

CW does your boat have bottom paint? What did you use to measure the speed (gps, or the speedo in the dash). I have the same set up as yours and on a flat calm day the fastest we hit with 2 people on board 1/2 tank of gas was 37 MPH burning 25 GPH.
