Hey thanks for the response in my absence, Lanier Tom. The channel markers in Sunset Cove aren't that hard to read "NOW". With that said, I saw the feeble attempt last year at planting buoys out there. They corrected it this year and it is now easy to read. "Red Right Return". They placed the...

LMAO to Magstang....."until its time to wax or fill the tank"....lol. I agree with buying as big as you can afford. This past Memorial Day weekend stabbed me with the same thinking of going bigger. During a day trip, I can have fun with around 8 folks. As for overnight, 6 is doable if 2 wanna...

Thanks for the idea MM. I have the factory oil discharge placard on the underside of my Starboard engine hatch as well but no garbage or waste placard. I bought the full package of "stickers" from West when I bought the boat but didn't place them until this past weekend. I put the garbage and...

I hear Ya Doc! I cruised to Sunset Cove late Friday night as I have done for the last 2 years. Its not busy in the cove until Saturday around noon, then its like a train of boats coming in. I stayed overnight (as usual with 3 others) until about 3pm Saturday. I get a little claustrophobic with...

I have redundancy issues myself. Since I was originally a blow-boater and I had my outboard as well as my sheets to get me back to the dock. I had to invest in my twins when I went all power. I would probably be a basket case in a single. Even now, I still have an oar on board marked "emergency...

I'm getting ready for a long weekend of cruising around. Anyone up for an afternoon raft-up on Saturday? Also, does anyone happen to know if they are doing fireworks at Sunset Cove on Saturday or Sunday or both? Gotta take advantage of the wonderful 2' above full pool folks! Hope to see yall...

That it Awesome. I have been holding off replacing my cockpit carpeting for the same reason $$$$. Where did you order from, if I may ask?

Here are the dimensions for all of the bimini frame mounts. Hope this helps.

Sorry about the double post folks....won't happen again. Anyway, I did replace over half of the cabin lights with LED so far (I've just been replacing with LED as the incandescents blow.) Also, If I'm using the TV, there is no need to have any other lights on in that circuit other than perhaps...

Got a question about wiring in some extras in my cabin on my 95 270 Dancer. This idea all started from a broken bunk/reading light fixture in my aft bunk. In my 270, there is only one 12v cigarette lighter plug below and I would like to expand on that without major re-wiring. The broken...

Its hard enough for me to find another COMPETENT dude or chick to give me a hand with my 270. I guess most folks think there is an AP for that....being docking or anchoring....lol

I think I got rid of my dimension sheet from Great Lakes Boat Tops. I did search for it but could not find it....I then got side-tracked fixing a temp sender (that is starting to make me mad) anyway. I am going back to the boat tomorrow and can give you hard dimensions from the base of the rise...

I still have my dimensions sheet from Great Lakes Tops on the boat. I just did the conversion from the slant to the full camper last year. I will be at my boat this week and I will try my best to remember to bring it back or post the measurements. Did you order a new set or got the poles...

Hmmm. Although further investigation does pose a truss conflict problem with my initial design as you were alluding to. I will report back once a solution or compromise is found. Thanks again. Danny

Thanks for the input. I can understand your viewpoint Frank it is hard to anticipate the future (my crystal ball seems to remain cloudy at all times...lol) and if the budget allows for the roll-up door I will definitely go that route otherwise I had figured that building a slider would be...

Hi folks. Its been a while since I've posted since I've been traveling the Southeast looking for a job after being laid off. But I'm settling in to just working for myself now so hopefully I'll be back around more often. So here is the problem. I'm expanding the pole barn I use to store lots of...

I had to replace my charger last year. From what I remember, it was held in by machine screws that were screwed into tapped holes in the bulkhead. I was able to re-use three of the four holes on the new charger and I just used a SS wood screw for the last one. Of course yours may be different.

There are a few other things I'm having done. It is a new long block from Jasper engine. New Merc exhaust manifolds and risers flappers etc. I'm also having the steering cable replaced since I had a little slop in the wheel. Also a full tune up of the port engine...cap, rotor, wires, plugs. I...

My Mom has an 87 SR185 with seats on both sides of the cover. Maybe they are the same? I might could get a picture if you think it could help
