Thanks Cliff. After Boat US paid, I ended up getting if from my local Sea Ray dealer. It is ordered. I'll have to install myself but I think I can handle that. $500 is my portion after the insurance payment. I'll be a lot more careful around the windshield from now on. LOL.BTW- I checked from...
Anyone know where I can find a replacement for my Port Front Windshield. I contacted Taylor made and have a part number but I have to go thru my local dealer. $1500.00. Ouch. I have been looking for a scrapped boat or junkyard but none of them seem to be able to help.
Any ideas anyone?
I pull up on the sandy beach with trim up. I kill the engine just before I hit. We are in the Tidal Potomac so we have to adjust the boat up and down the beach every so often.
my Keel Guard has saved my bottom. I can't imagine beaching without it. Not too difficult to put on but if you do it...
What a beautiful lake. We only had the morning to play due to rain but we had a blast. I cannot get over the depth all over. 50 ft all over and then some. In the Potomac we cruise at full throttle in 4 feet deep water for long periods.
We were drift fishing near the shore when my 12 year old...
Thank you all so much. I am hitting the sack to get up at 4am to catch my flight. I have my Garmin for the roads when I get there and it has the lake on it so that should be helpful on the water. Not as good as my garmin on my 215ec but it will have to do for a few days. Thanks again for the...
We are renting a boat from the State Park. We will be staying just 5 minutes from there. I'm told by the wife.
I have been working double time this summer and my wonderful wife has made all the plans. I was hoping for a little info on the lake so as to help my in laws have the best experience...
I am flying out Monday to Table Rock and staying at the Wyndham. (So I'm told). We are renting a boat for a day or two since my wife would not let me tow ours 17 hours. Any advise on fishing or where to or better where not to go on the lake? Any advice is welcome.
If you are going to Tim's you need an anchor that will hold the sandy bottom. Quite frankly the bigger the better/ There will be wakes and likely storms if it is like the last 2 years.
On the front of your lower unit is a "V" looking notch just. This is where the water goes into the unit to run up to your speedometer to give you your speed.Take a piece of wire and clear the hole. On the Potomac we are constantly getting hydrilla clogged in that hole. Clear it out and your...
I just bought a stiletto 14.25 x 19 stainless for my 215 EC. I was running 42mph at 4200 rpm. My aluminum would have me at 42 mph at 4600 rpm. The stiletto runs identical with my rpm as of yesterdays 3 hour run.Just me and a full tank of fuel. Well 1/2 tank after the trip. My 215 likes 32mph...
In front of Captain Johns. Next marina down. Apparently they had 3 other boats pulled over before they got this guy off of his boat. They were stopping everyone is my understanding. Va DNR guys. It was his first BWI arrest I'm told.
I stayed in all weekend. Don't go on the Potomac Memorial day weekend, 4th of July or Labor day weekend. I did go out about 4pm last night.(After the weekend) It was nice and all the idiots were off the water.
A guy got pulled in for BWI in front of my marina in the Occoquan at 10:30 on the 4th...
To all who post on this site. I gathered much info and winterized my boat nicely and made some nice modifications that some of you all had done as well. It hit 60 degrees today and I couldn't wait. Had to put it in. Touched the key and she fired right up like she was wondering what took me so...
Our West Marine matches as well but you have to bring it up. I even got 60% off a Keel guard because I said I saw it on ebay for cheaper. It depends on the manager.
Wades Bay is a GREAT place to take the kids. Go to the south end of the bay before the cliffs. There is a small stream coming into the river. Anchor out a bit as the beach is rocky. Take the kids up to the beach and send them on a treasure hunt. Sharks teeth dated 60 - 90 million years old...
OMG !!! Yes, People were just not nice today. All around. I just smiled at them and let them be the way they were. Then came hime and grabbed a beer and will hope everyone gets nicer as they get out more. Glad I have my boat at home. I can at least sit in her.
