Well, I am new to owning a boat, picked up our first last fall. But I have been into cars, drag racing, for most of my adult life. None of my cars were purchased to "flip". None were purchased with the thought of resale. None of the mods I did were because " I will get back my...

Since I am a newbee to twin inboards I will chime in. I am still learning. I bought this boat late last season so I only had a handful of docking experiences. My first time out this year, upon return was ugly. I dock in a river and the river was flowing from West to East, and I had about a 15mph...

I am very new to this, have had a 89 30' Weekender for all of 1 week now! (350's) Mine is cruising around 28mph at 3200ish. My tachs are a little sloppy sometimes. I have backed it down to around 3000rpm and can still cruise around 21mph. I have not topped it out, except during the survey...

Hey congrats!! As far as surveyors, I heard Greg is very good. I used a guy in the same area named David Monak. :thumbsup: I would recommend him to anyone. I also bought the one we were looking at. It is a 30' Weekender. Very happy with the boat so far!

I'm sorry to hear that. Did you use Greg?. Disregard this post, late summer confusion.

First, yes the 340 is the EC. I took a peek below the engine hatch to check the layout of the engine / drives. I have not totally investigated the boat, just a quick look through. I did not notice a generator, which I assumed would have been below the aft hatch? Im sure the majority of our...

Thanks again. Tmal2, really only a 5-6gph difference in fuel burn? I thought it would be closer to 10. If that is the case, I may certainly be more interested in the 340. The 340 that I was looking at is a 1989, and it is the Express. I was looking at few certain brand X boats of 32ft...

Well, I am negotiating on the 300. The current owner willingly supplied the survey he paid for 2 years ago. Starboard engine stringer was very wet. A cookie was cut from the glass to view the wood which was declared thouroghly wet, but not rotted. Surveyer advised " to continue to watch and...

Thanks to all for the hellos and advice. This should be a cool site! After some more talking with the wife, she likes the 300 Weekender most, and so do I. We will be making an offer on this boat. Again, it is very, very clean. And just on a parting word, most of my adult life I have...

Wow! Quick responses, love this place already! A few things about me/ us to address: 1) As far as maintenance, I have been a hot rodder / drag racer most of my life, so I am not affraid of anything mechanical. What I don't know I will learn. I plan on doing anything I can. I hate paying...

As most do first, I have been viewing for a while and learning what I can. Great site with a bunch of knowledge on this board. The wife (ahem..Admiral) and I have been boat shopping , which is why I have been perusing this board for information. We are a family of 4 (2 crumb munchers) and...
