When I was on a Brabus Shadow 900 (an Axopar that’s all gussied up) I asked that question…… they told me the inverter would handle AC for an overnight. Which surprised me. I guess over the road trucks often have no-idle systems for overnight climate control but I thought they did an...
Dutton Laison has some smaller winches too. My dad put an electric winch on a trailer for his big Robalo a few years ago but I don’t know what brand it was. I am 90% sure his boat is around 12k lbs full fuel. I used it with him when I was out visiting and I’ll say, it’s fantastic to use. He...

Try this one. Not insanely cheap, but way better than an insurance deductible if you tear a rotator cuff.
I missed your last update. You’re making progress! You can use 5200 to fill the holes, or you can mix epoxy with some glass beads and inject it into the holes using a large syringe (no needle). Scrape smooth and sand as needed. As for the rub rail, I got some free Taco Marine samples from I...
My advice isn’t medical in nature so I’d definitely talk to your doctor as well. I don’t know if it’s from having your arms hanging down lower as you’re bent/hunched over or if it’s from bumping them against things in the engine bay, but that might be helpful to know. I assume you are talking...
I keep a small DeWalt tool bag with a few hand tools, 2 screwdrivers, a ratchet and specific sockets for hoses and lines, an adjustable wrench, and a roll of duct tape. I also keep a spare prop in the boat in a padded bag with a puller and spare hardware. Since adding that in the boat, I...
I will say, traveling to south Florida, and seeing the harbors there is a HUGE amount of money being spent on new boats. Boats well in excess of 100’ long and even the smaller ones. Someone is (or has been) clearly buying them. Talking with industry folks, there is a shift going on this year...
You can try contacting Sea Ray but at 25 years old, the supplier will not be able to match what you have now. Even if the original supplier had material from when it was made, the colors will not match due to sun fading and age. Your best bet is to seek the advice of a local shop to try and...
Sweet progress. I’d recommend you look at trailer setups for inboard boats to give you an idea of prop/rudder guards. And the bow stop will be critical to make sure you don’t run up too far on the trailer. It will likely need to be beefier than you can imagine to hold the boat more securely...

That boat rents with a captain, so I’d guess that there is some oversight on it (whether it’s a legal charter or not…..??).
That being said, I see a lot of “No”, and I understand why too. However, I would consider renting something like that to see if the boat meets the needs of my family...
Gatorstep is another EVA option, little cheaper than Seadek usually. They have a swim platform template for a SDX270 but I’m guessing it’s not an outboard version.
They are an OEM supplier for quite a few brands as well.

I know you made up your mind, but I was at the boat show last weekend and saw this. Thought it might tickle your fancy. It’s a trim tab mounted underwater light.

My midwinter checkup was walking out to my barn. Then I had a “ready” buyer want to come see my old boat so I drug them both out and had to show one 10 days ago. Unfortunately I didn’t sell it but I did get to make sure everything is still all secure in both. Took the kids to the Chicago boat...
Toilet bowl cleaner (The Works) has been reformulated, I tried it last spring and it did nothing. After reading the ingredients and googling I found that it was done to be “environmentally safer”. However, you can get similar whitening results with oxalic acid (mix your own or buy Starbrite...
I totally understand the concern, but I’ll bet there are lights you could just adhere to the transom with 5200 and run the wiring up above the waterline .
I’m not sure but looks like a tribe. Googling the marina in the news article brought me to research that property management group. Led me back to that tribe
