Ok I just needed the sense a smacked into me. Bad idea I had not fully thougt through. Good deal for the renter though. Suprisingly the have some nice boats in their program.

I was approached at the Houston boat show by a company that has some type of fractional ownership for boats. They wanted me to include my 280DA in their lineup. Basically the way they work it is people pay a certain amount per month based on how much use they want out of the boat. They pay for...

Yeah it's one of those indoor marinas. So who wants to drive down and check on my boat?? LOL JK.

Anyone know if mty boats ok? It's in an indoor dry stack at Endeavor Marina. I thought it qas safe but my dad said a dry stack was hit by a tornado. They're not anwering phones.

Thanks alot.:thumbsup: That's great help. I'll shoot you a PM when we head out again. It may be a while though. :smt089

Great thanks. I have a 280DA that goes most places I assume. Where is Nassau Bay?

Thank god he didn't hurt anyone else.

Try putting a 30ft one on a trailer in high wind. My dad has one that catches wind lie a giant sail boat. Very difficult to put on a trailer.

Yeah the only problem with that is I would have had to of checked it when new for comparison.

My dealer set up my 280DA and specifically told me to leave it on all the time in the Texas summers. The interior will last much longer that way.

me too. works perfect.

I don't think it's gear weight as I have always had the same gear on board from day 1. I store the rest in a dock box. I think it's speedo error or bottom paint being rougher.

Sorry it's the 4.3 mercs with volvo(?) drives. Just dash speedo.

Easiest and cheapest way is to use your phone as a modem with your computer.

My 280DA slowed down after about the first year and a half from about 40mph to 35mph. There's almost no growth on my bottom paint. The drives and props are fine. Engines run good. Can this just be a speedo error? It also has to run at a slightly higher speed to stay on plane.
