So I have been going through an internal interview process for a promotion the past 6 weeks. I have my 5th and final interview with the Senior VP this Friday. Things look pretty good.....Im a bit optomistic maybe. Anyway, it would require I relocate to the St. Louis office. I dont really know...

Just curious, Anyone have or had soft spots on your deck? Have you done anything about it yet? If so, what? Thanks for the replies.

I really need help so I hope there is someone here who can help me:smt100 After splashing a few weeks ago my starboard engine has not been able to maintain an rpm above 12-1300. It will go as high as 3800 when taking off to plane but falls on its face within seconds. I have tried taking off and...

Hello all, Im looking for a reputable mechanic for the South Haven Mi. Area. I just moved my boat there last week and need help diagnosing an engine issue. Thank you!

Im just curious what documentation you have ready if you are boarded. Where do you keep it and how is it kept. Im interested in hearing from everyone especially the Lake Michigan boaters. Also, part 2 of my question is specifically for Michigan side LM boaters. How do you have your boat...

Guys, I have a very short window of time to get the boat bottom painted. Im putting 2 coats of interlux micron csc over the same in good shape. I know it says to paint in 50 degree plus weather but is there any problems doing it in 40 degree weather other than an extended drying time. Im...

Hi all, a quick question on bottom paint. 5 years ago I had an epoxy barrier coat applied to a bare hull and then Interlux ablative paint applied. Amazingly, Im just now needing to apply bottom paint again. Well, maybe a year longer than I should have waited. Anyway, is it necessary to take...

Hi all, Can anyone give a referral for canvas work in the New Buffalo Michigan area. I need some custome work done to my existing canvas to enclose the cockpit. Thank you all for any suggestions.

Hi all, This was my first winter with the 340 since we moved recently from Florida. Last weekend we splashed and I took the boat across Lake Michigan from North Point Il. to New Buffalo Mi. Around 70 miles. I figured I would take around 4 hours port to port. Its a long story but ended up...

So I am having my boat hauled from Lake Geneva to Winthrop Harbor the first week of April. It will be a nice cruise across and south down Lake Michigan to New Buffalo where my new home will be at Oselka's Marina. We are all excited about the new possiblities of cruising North to different...

Just curious if anyone or everyone has experienced the v-drive transmissions on their boat making a rattling noise like a bunch of marbles in a tin can. My mechanic says its normal at low idle. I have the boat for sale right now and the last prospective buyer passed on making an offer purely on...

Then it would be a good weekend of boating! Quick story from last weekend's outing on Lake Geneva. We arrived late Saturday and it was overcast, the kids decided to fish on the docks, swim in the pool and my wife and I decided to have a nice dinner at the marina. In an effort to insure the...

I have a few repairs needed on my boat. First the forward hatch has developed a leak this season. I'm assuming it's just a matter of taking out the screws around the inside of the hatch to gain access to the bottom side of the outside frame. What sealant do most of you use for this? While I'm...

So last weekend we made and offer on a 400DB. We are roughly $15k apart. We came up $5k from our original offer and they came down $3k. I was wondering where you all thought the boat market is and if anyone has had a recent experience in negotiating a boat and would like to share. We really...

I was curious if there were any 1997-2003 400 db owners out there who could possibly add any personal experiences to the ownership of a 400 db. I currently have a 340 sundancer and with spending longer weekends on the boat with three small children it has become a little small for us. I am...

Hello all, My family and I are looking at making a major move from the St. Petersburg area in Florida to Burr Ridge just outside Chicago. I have a few questions that maybe some of you Lake Michigan boaters can help me with. First, can anyone give me an idea of wetslip charges for a 340...

I just replaced the clarion unit from my 1999 340DA. I have for sale the clarion head unit with cassette, 6 disc cd changer M-635 and two APA 2030 Clarion marine amplifiers rated at 30W X 2. I also have the helm remote control. This is the factory installed system all working properly with no...

Im posting this so maybe some of us will think about how we live our lives. I had one of my Sales reps pass away yesterday from a heart attack here in Florida. Jarrod was 32 years old. Yes its a tragedy and we are all having an arduous day today. As a father, what saddens me the most is my...

I was discussing my engines with a reputable mechanic that works on my dock and he told me the following about my 1999 7.4 mpi's. He told me that under 1100-1200 rpm's, water actually can be sucked into the engines through the exhaust valves. He suggested that i idle away from my dock to the...
