I bought my 185 about a 5 weeks ago. I absolutely love the thing. It has enough power for me and the style is just right. I like the tribal decals on my boat. Make sure if you do not want the decals, don't buy them. I believe they are a $400-$600 option from what I was told. Worse case...

Hey guys. I need your help. I bought a spare prop incase and was wondering if I bought the right one. The one I have is currently installled is a 3 blade 14.5" x 19P. The local dealer recommended a 4 blade 14.5" x 18P which will get me up to plane faster. That is what I wanted. Now my...

I really wish I bought my 185 Sport with the factory wakeboard tower. I want to add one now. Does anyone have an idea where I can buy the factory one online? I asked my local MM and he said they were 4K. Not sure if he was bs'in. Kind of steep if you ask me.

I will definitely check it out.

Is the person with the cig at least willing to pay for the repairs?

I'm going to give changing the engine oil a shot myself. I read the manual but must have overlooked the oil change section or forgotten. Ooops. I just can't see myself paying someone else to do something I know how to do. You guys are the best. I'm going to change the oil at 10 hours to...

This thread has picked up some. Good to see that. :thumbsup: Sounds like everyone is roughly in the same mph bracket. ruf1967 - I'm running whatever came from the factory. No upgrades yet. Searay Jim - Yeah us men have it tough up here. Haha. I m happy with 48, wonder if I can go...

Any updates on the new potential decals? :grin: Don't know about others but I am dying to see em.

I never thought of it that way. I'll look into it some more. Just felt great being able to hit 48 today is all. I was careful doing it though.

That was fast. Thanks I've changed the oil on my cars for years by myself. Never has any problems. 1) Is this something I could do myself or leave to the experts? 2) What grade engine oil does the boat require? 3) How many quarts for a 4.3L engine? 4) Oil filter type? Thanks...

If it were me, I would fly out and see the boat for yourself. This is the best form of personal insurance IMO. No sense in putting money into something you're uncertain about purchasing.

My boat currently has 7.9 hours on it since i picked it up 3 weeks ago. When is the first recommended oil change? Thanks

Wanted to see what others were getting on their speedo. I registered 48mph today and was super happy. Full tank of gas and two people aboard. Initially, I thought I would only get 40mph tops. But today I messed around, raised the trim a tad and 48 was in sight. Big difference between...

I'd be happy having either one. :grin:

I have to say, without the graphics the boat looks alot cleaner. I like it. I might 'de-decal' (haha no such word) my boat someday. I'm with you Searay Sport, I want some yellow on my boat too.
