    2008 185 Sport

    You did not mention what size lake you are boating in, I have a 07 185 sport with booster seats, booster seats are worth the money, I got them throw in as part of my deal. It cost me less then 20K OTD. If you are boating in a large lake with large boats, expect to get beat up a little, its not a...

    Considering an upgrade from 185 to a 205

    I have a 185 and I share your pain... If you go the smart tab route, pls keep in mind that if you store your boat in a dry stack storage, the fork lift operator will tell you that the fork lift might tear the tabs out when they lift the boat. I ran into this problem with my marina. I have to...

    First Boating Vacation/New Member

    I remove water spots using vinegar and warm water (20/80%) Careful most other products strip wax. I boat on lake Travis, and use a spray bottle with 80-20 water/vinegar mix and spray and wipe after I am done boating.

    pic of scratches ... how much to fix ?

    The guys who are doing my job said their labour rate is $75 an Hr, they gave me a $50 off the total they said it will cost. The job that I am getting done requires 8hrs of labour. so $650 sounds reasonable for the damage. Next time I just have to keep my eye open for the big boats :smt001

    pic of scratches ... how much to fix ?

    $650 incl tax to fix scratches I just dropped off my boat at the Mcneill Marine Fiberglass plus 15801 F M 2769 Austin, TX 78729, and the bill is $650 with taxes. Oh well... I checked out their work and they seem to do a pretty good job. I will get the boat next Thursday (possibly ).
