When I first got mine I had to sit in her while it rained hard to find all of the leaks. Most of the comments were problems I had. Window bedding, Hatch horn and rub rail leaks. Once you get them all fixed life is good. than something else brakes!
I pulled the nasty water stained meldewed headliner out of my 300 weekender. Scrubbed the bulkheads and overhead and cleaned, ruffed it up a little with a wire wheel than glued stain master carpet in its place. Looks great. same process for the carpet. My cabin don't see to much water. My...
i had a very leaky port stuffing box. backed the packing nut all the way off and the leak rate strayed the same. Pulled what was left of the outer packing ring and replaced it with one 1/4 inch ring. Had to hammer it a little to get it flat enough to push into the stuffing box. Once in I packed...
I have an 87 300 weekender, have not found any of the problems you are worried about yet. I plan on pulling her soon "first time since I bought her" there are allot of things that can effect these boats like 350's vice 454's, Generators, Props, loads, saltwater/freshwater tides currants and the...
I use a battery tender on my 20 footer even on the trailer. I have a buddy who rack stows so he put a couple solar tenders on his boat. Turning the switch off is a great practice "if the boat isn't in the water" but in the water could be very bad. them pumps like that juice.
My stingray 200MS was covered by USAA, when I bought the Sea ray Weekender "aka the party barge" they sent me to Progressive for USAA members. I'm getting both boats covered for a little more than what I was paying USAA. They must figure you can only use one boat at a time. Get that boater...

Dude I'm down the James River at Leeward Marina "owned and operated by the city of Newport News. They can not/will not take tips. There is laws against city employs taking tips. And I think there probably are laws against offering them. Funny thing is I think they deserve them.
I replaced both of my Nav lights with LED's. A buddy tapped on the hull next to the Nav light so I could figure out where the wires penetrated threw the hull. My case there is a bolster that covered that area. Once I removed the bolster I had access to more wire.
3 screws and the housing came...

I'm looking at a set of 17 x 17 with 1.25 shafts off a 340 DA was hoping they might fit. The water is frozen around the JRB but not to thick maybe 1/2 inch at the most. I was able to break the ice around the boat, then run my heat/ac pump and start the boat Saturday.
I like the Die Hard, but have been eyeballing the Optima Blue Tops. Little more money but the rolled cells seem to last longer and have more power. Or at least that is what I see advertised. So my wife's Harley needs a new Battery, just ordered her a brand new Lithium Ion battery (sold by...
