    185 vs 195 - whats the difference besides a few inches?

    Damn man you are bumming me out! LOL thanks for the advice I will be sure to get that measured before I buy. It sounds like the 195 is a bridge to far at this point.

    Oh crap! I need to look at that! I have a tree car carage so I have a little more room to work with horizontally, but my wife told me that she WILL be parking in the garage as well! I better head to the dealership to measure.

    I have 2 footitus- I have too much boat!

    I appreciate all of your stories. One of you mentioned that now you know the way people with big boats view people who own small boats. I find that most peolpe who own boats love and appreciate all boats. Here is another thing I found, people who purchase big boats aren't always lifetime...

    185 vs 195 - whats the difference besides a few inches?

    I am looking at the 2010 sport boats and am considering the 195 with the 4.3 liter 220hp with alpha drive. I understand that the 195s have not been great sellers because they are so close in size and offer the same power options as the 205 and are skinnier at the beam. The salesman told me...

    I have 2 footitus- I have too much boat!

    Wow! Thanks for the encouraging words. I called my local Searay dealer today and luckily I owe less than I can get on a trade. I think I am going to move to the 2010 195 Sport. I admit though it is tough to sit in a boat with a 7'6" beam after the 9'4 of my 270. Still, I can't help but...

    How do I recharge with refregerant my AC on a 1998 270 DA

    Thanks! I will check it today when we go out for a fathers day cruise. I know it is not the air filter and I have plenty of pressure at the h2o discharge. Is there a temp sensor that will check the difference between air temp in the cabin and the temp settings on the thermostat control? The...

    what kind of oil for the 454?

    I purchased the boat in September. I admit I didn't check the oil regularly, I have not noticed any smoke or smelled burnt oil when under way so I was surprised to not see oil on the dip stick yesterday when I started her up. I was concerned and did not let it get up to temp until I had some...

    Anyone tried the slingbox as Media solution for their boat?

    I do not have pictures yet but I can get some next week when I go out the the boat and post them. I purchaced the LCD TV that had the best sound quality (I did not want to mess with running the TV audio into the boat speakers) and was the appropriate size for my boat. I did not go with a TV...
