I have a 2000 240 with a 5.7 Bravo ll drive and we have spent many hours in Washington and Canada. Depending on loading, winds, and seas, some use of the tabs is required and have not experienced the "tippy" feeling at all. Also, depending on conditions, 3200-3300 rpm produces 25-28 mph with...

Doug, Like Todd I have always had a good experience with Lake Union SR. Thanks for the heads up on the water and tablets. Hadn't thought of that one and in the past have had water issues even without the drought we are having...Tom

Fantastic! You really had the weather and beautiful photos too. We were supposed to leave today (Friday) for a very similar itinerary but we had engine issues last week at Sea Fair and Lake Union SR still has the boat. Hoping to leave Monday or Tuesday now if they get it fixed...Tom

You beat me to it...I was going to say my speedo stopped working at age 40 almost 20 years ago and I haven't been able to fix it since...Tom

I have towed my 240da with a Chevy 2500HD 4X4 for five years. Short trips with flat ramps no problem. There were many times that if I didn't have 4 wheel drive I would have never recovered the boat on slippery or steep ramps. Longer trips...I wish I had a diesel 4X4. Summer temps are hard on...

John, just left ANC yesterday after delivering the raffle airplane for the aviation trade show this weekend. If you have time, go to the Fed EX hanger at international this weekend for the show. Should be fun. Saw some F-15's flying around, might have been you. Agree with all the above post...

If you doubled your mileage by properly inflating you tires you must have noticed a remarkable improvement in the ride as well.

Certainly an individual thing but...A few years ago I put my 17 yr. old son in a 747-400 sim and after an hour he was flying a VFR pattern and making pretty good takeoffs and landings. He had very recently finished his private checkride.

Promo, hows all that "CHANGE" working out for you? Pretty original picks so far. Looks like the depth of the messiah is about 1/4 inch.

Gary, not quite true. I got the t-shirt. Chapter 11 is first and it's reorganization. All the union contracts are up for negotiation, the only thing is the unions have a gun at their heads. Agree to this or it's liquidation, Chapter 7. So everyone hudles, swears at each other and the judge...

Looks like the public doesn't want the "bridge loan" but I would bet something is worked out for the big 3....

Put a pair in my 240. No alteration required and sound great

Don't get me wrong. I love Sundancers but I was just thinking about winter boating and the open aft area or damp/wet canvas. When the kids were young a sedan seemed to work better for us. Tom

I agree with "four suns" with an additional reason. This IS the Pacific Nortwest and if you want to enjoy boating from Oct to May you will need the warm dry area.
