So, I posted a thread a few months ago stating I was considering getting out of boating for a while. Basically, over the last 3 years I think we used the boat about 10 times as a family, sleeping on it once. Over that time my mother passed after being ill all summer & my mother in law passed...
Hi Guys,
I have a buyer getting my boat surveyed Wednesday in a rather poor forecast. I'm guessing his moisture readings on the deck will be moot but, was wondering what else to expect. I was under the impression that compression tests were to be done cold but, here is the response the buyer got...
I have finally started to face the fact that my best boating days may be behind me. Its not an age related thing as I'm only 58 but, rather a lifestyle thing. To date, I have used my boat once this season, for a raft up in a local river. Last year I slept on the boat one night and did 4 day...
Hey guys,
I have a '97 330 DA with twin 454's carbed. My sync gauge took a crap a few years back & it wasn't a big deal but I did have my mechanic replace the gauge. That didn't fix it & after further research I found there was a module behind the dash. My mechanic never ordered it nor did I &...
Hi guys,
I have this table base that my brother gave me kicking around in storage. I have no use for it. Free to the first guy that wants to pay shipping. The unit is pretty light. If no takers it heads to the trash.
So, due to a myriad of reasons the boat did not get splashed until after July 4th. We went for our first family trip to Atlantique this past weekend. As circumstances would have it, I ran down to stock it up the night before we were to disembark. As I was leaving I popped in to use the head &...
For the life of me I can't understand how someone goes out on a small vessel without a life jacket when he knows he can't swim. Prayers go out to his family. Sadly, this could have been avoided.....

Hi folks,
My factory in dash depth finder has taken a crap. The display had begun flashing the past few years while under speed & now the display looks like the hieroglyphics from the Predators arm bomb. What have others done to replace it? My garmin was acting up too so these two are my top...
Hey guys,
This isn't my boat, I came across it on a Facebook group. It seems someone is always looking for windshield parts here etc. Hope this helps out!

Hi guys,
My sync guage has been inop for a few years. I had the marina change the guage last year to no avail. I have 7.4 gas motors with carburetors. Do you think this module will do the trick? How can I troubleshoot it? I think it is under the dash panel. TIA for any help you can provide...
Hi All,
My buddy got a deal on a 24' cabin cruiser but it has no air conditioning. A quick search seemed to reveal that the hatch units are discontinued? What are people using in its place? TIA.

Hi Guys,
I recently reversed my rail stanchions which required removing the microwave. As o was going to reinstall it today I saw this lifting edge of formica & the trim below the opening. I would like to glue & clamp.it tomorrow when I go back. I dont think.formica glue will work as the...
Hi Guys,
For those of you that have done this before on this model, how hard was it to access the nuts on the underside of the stanchions? I find myself in need of doing this project as several of mine are now loose. I would've posted in the 330 thread but I find a new thread seems to generate...
Not sure if everyone was aware of this new travel warning from the State Dept.

Hi Guys,
A buddy of mine is looking to get rid of his 1980 26' Sundancer. He has used it every year & this year incurred some engine issues. Rather than repair he is moving on to something newer. He just installed a new GarminCHIRP 74 cv and is asking $600 for the gps. If you just want the boat...
Hi guys,
I am having trouble uploading any pics from my phone. When I hit the picture icon in the text box it asks for a url. It used to open the pictures app on my phone & I could just choose from there in v-bulletin. Has anyone else had this issue on this platform? TIA for any help you can...
Hi Guys,
I had someone reach out to me because they wanted to view my album on replacing the tracks & trucks for my sliding door but couldn't find it. I just looked and it appears to be gone! Any one else have this issue or know where it may have ended up? TIA.
Hi Guys,
Just posting up the Winter Rendezvous info for this year. During last years event I consulted with several of the usual gang & came up with this date as it does NOT conflict with any of the big boat shows this year and is the same weekend as last years event. As always, all are welcome...
