I've worked in corporate aircraft sales- buying and selling, for the last 24 years. Most of what my company deals in are mid -size jets, up through the large cabin airplanes. I'm a newbie boat owner, my current boat, a 2006 320DA/ 5.7 L / 350 MAG MPI is my first boat- and while I think about...
I'll be out there...also a first timer. You're probably right about setting anchor the night before for a good spot. I'll try to go out early Sat morning from Bald Ridge too; I'm aleady expecting to be farther out...but marine max is scheduled to run a water taxi... so that might work out ok...
you can mount an IR remote eye on the outside of the cabinet so you can put the converter inside a cabinet...radio shack or best buy will have them. simple to install.
I have had my '06 320 six months now, and I 'm still learning alot...I am keeping pretty close notes on fuel burn...my boat burns 22-24 gph total at 3600-3700 rpms...speed will vary depending on the number of passengers, fuel quantity and fresh water on board. 100 gallons in 2 hours seems excessive.
thanks for all the input! I have started reading the 320 owners thread- great stuff there.
I'lll be basing the boat at Bald Ridge Marina on the SW corner of the Lake; all the filters and fluids, plugs, and batteries were changed as part of the sale, as well as new bottom paint and inspection...
Newbie here...just purchased an '06 320DA, based at Lake Lanier in GA, near Atlanta. Got a lot to learn here, would appreciate any comments concerning what to look out for maintenance-wise...Like what are the top five things you do to keep your boat in top running order?
Happy Holidays,
