    Boat at the local dealer.......just plain nuts!!

    Put it in here since its a Malibu but this thing is overdone/useless/whatever. I kind of thought it was a cool marketing boat which obviously is marketed directly at Corvette owners.......that was until I found out it was $106,000. It has a Corvette Z06 engine in it but damn. GrahamB

    What is this bolt called?

    I am re-doing the interior of my boat and these bolts were used to hold on the cushions. In Overton's they are described as "Pontoon Deck Bolts" although a search yields nothing. Overton's sells them in packs of 100 but I only need 35-45. Anyone know where to get them? What they are called...

    Nothing like winterizing to uncover major problems

    Due to my busy schedule with graduate school and teaching labs I decided to drop my boat off to be winterized at a local shop. Well yesterday I received a wonderful call from the mechanic. Next thing I knew a $100 winterizing turned into a ~$850 service ticket. The mechanic went to drain the...

    Good service from dealer!!

    I just thought I would share my good experience with a dealer's parts department. Saw Bill's post here: http://www.byowneryachts.com/forums/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1149 and decided to give it a try. Well, not only was the shipping fast but the price was right. I got new decals for the '95...

    Why is your user name what it is?

    I was looking around this evening and noticed the thread about someone thinking about changing their user name on the board because they were going to get a new boat. Well it got me curious as to why is everyones user name what it is? I likely would have used my boats name, that is if I had...

    Howdy all, The last two weekends I have taken my new (to me) 1995 200BR out to the lake. This was a series of lessons and fun times for all. Two weeks ago we camped out so we got to go boating two days back to back. I will tell you, there is nothing like an early morning; rowdy "daddy...

    What does this boat look like minus graphics??

    I am about to replace the pinstriping on my 1995 200 SIG BR and I got thinking. What would my boat look like minus pinstriping and graphics? My first thought would be that the boat would look unfinished. So, before I order new pinstriping.....does anyone have any photos or have seen any boats...

    Clarion head unit: CMD5 vs. M475 vs. M455A

    Ok, I know I want to purchase one of these. The CMD5 and the M455A both work with the wired remote with digital readout. As far as I can tell the M475 only works with the remote w/o the digital readout. If I had to choose I would get the M475 with the digital readout remote......is there one...

    I am looking at purchasing some new Sea Ray emblems for my 1995 (production 1994) 200BR. Unfortunately I have no clue what the measurement is on them and I'm sitting at the office.....112mi from the boat. I have seen a couple sizes on ebay and was wondering if these were the correct size...

    What should I use to bring out that shine?

    As some of you may/may not know I just purchased a 1995 200BR. The gelcoat and graphics are in good condition although the shine is not what it could be. At this point I plan on getting a good clay, polish, and wax on her tomorrow. My main question is should I add a light compound to that mix...

    Keeping engine cover closed during transport

    The 1995 200BR I just purchased has one of the engine "seats" which flip open towards the rear. Well apparently at speeds > ~40mph it has a tendency to catch wind and flip open. I learned this the hard way last weekend by almost losing it 5mi from the lake. Yea, that would have been...

    Project Face Lift: cleaning the 1995 200BR Signature

    Spent the last couple hours cleaning two of the bottom bow cushions. About an hour on each one. Apparently there had been honey bees living under there and there was residue from their hive. All in all I am pleased with the progress being made with a sponge, soft scrub w/ bleach, a tooth...
