nice job! That looks great. I'm partial to Sikkens but my process is the same.

Kat, Its been an adventure to be sure so far but for the most part I'm really liking it. My wife is from here so I've already been conditioned a bit from previous trips. Still...there are a few things that get under my skin but I guess its just a regional thing. I'm really gonna have to do...

would you be willing to part with the trailer? if so, how much? Email me, brains646@yahoo.com, it'll be quicker

Chris, I'm so sorry for taking so long to get back to you. I've just relocated to the Gulf coast area and havent been on in a while. To answer your question, I ordered my bench from Overtons and its a pontoon bench seat. It really opened up the deck area and made my boat much more conducive to...

Hello to all the gulf coast boaters out there! If you dont know me, I'm Brains and I'm originally from the Metro Detroit area but I've just relocated to Hattiesburg, MS. My boat is still in Mi but I plan on bringing it down in the spring and I would really love to hear from the other Gulf...

Ummm...dont do that. It wont really tell you much anyway cuz theres a huge difference between engine under load and not under load. Is it running smoothly at 4000 or WOT or sputtering and struggling? What about trim tabs? Are they all the way up? Start with your drive all the way in and your...

well your RPM's are a little low, they should be 4200-4600. If your prop is beat up a bit then that will affect performance but you should be shooting for around 4400. I have a Merc 260 and it runs best with a 16x16.

Yeah Tail...I'm waiting for an update myself... Billy..I didnt get it...see my post for 1984 270 DA.....:)

Well dont let me be the one to rock the proverbial boat but IMHO Garmin units are not very user friendly nor do their features justify them over some of the other brands. I looked at Standard Horizon, Lowrance, Humminbird, Ray, and Garmin 5-8" units and chose the Humminbird 787c2 for price...

LOL! I hear you man. This will be a huge blessing/gift/whatever you wanna call it. The boat has been under wrap and racked at my marina for the last two years. The PO had a slip for 6 years prior to that so he had most of the work done by the marina. The marina owner likes me for some...

lookin at your sig....it would appear safe to assume that you finished your motor swap. Am I right? Hows it running?

I wont be holding it WOT for long unless I'm trying to test the fuel gauge. I should have access to it by this weekend and I'll have all the paperwork and surveying taken care of by next weekend. Hopefully September and October are nice...

Dancer.. LOL! I appreciate your concern and it is well placed my friend. A quick update on the background of this boat. Its been abandoned by its PO over marina and service charges. The PO moved cross country but couldnt take the boat cuz he owed. He never paid so here we are. Now to that...

JVM I would feel safe assuming your numbers as close to what mine might be based on the size difference. Your 30' to my 27' your 350 to my 305 should be fairly equal in their applications and from what I keep hearing thats about right. Tail I think your fuel #'s are a bit high and all the...

JVM, Thanks for the info. In your search were you able to find any kinds of performance #'s on those motors? I cant find anything anywhere on them. I would assume that fuel burn is a few ticks less than the 350 but not much more than the 4.3's due to the increase in torque. My assumptions...

Ok a quick update. I finally got a chance to check out the boat and its in good condition. Its got twin Merc 228's or 305's. I know less about them than the 4.3's. So any info would be great. Other than the motors, it also has A/C. What do I need to know about maintainance on those. I'm assuming...

Yeah well its hot as hell here now...thanks alot guys!
