I don't know what the laws are over there in the USA :huh: However if someone isn't in a "no wake zone" then no they are not responsible for any damage from their wake. The two boats rafted together should have considered where they anchored, and anchoring close to an unrestricted wake zone...

This is one thing PC users can do that MAC users can't http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=macs_cant Well worth a read :thumbsup:

Not much to go on, but i would start with getting the refrigerant checked/topped up :thumbsup: Obviously assuming you have checked already it hasn't iced up causing the stat to not work properly.

Yes it can be frustrating, but i think i have got it down to just being the 270 sundancer. The 230 is gong to be too small given i have a wife and 3 kids :huh: so i would rather buy the right boat with all cash and get a good deal rather than getting a boat now which i then need to trade up in a...

I will make it easier for you, if you had that boat with that fuel consumption here in the UK you would be paying well over $300 an hour. So now you should feel better :thumbsup:

I don't understand why on earth he continued with the deal once it had been pranged :huh: I would have walked away there and then. The dealer is going to make/authorise the absolute bare minimum repairs in order to limit their loses :smt009 But now given the boat belongs to your friend i would...

Oh i am sorry, my mistake i thought you meant rotation. On paper it seems one of those ideas that we all wish we had, you know like the wheel etc but in reality the system is floored on so many levels. Also if the shoddy website and poor pictures is anything to go by, i have a feeling these...

I agree about too many moving parts, more moving parts more chances of failure :smt100 Tho i don't see why both screws have to turn in the same direction, a reverse on one of the screws would give counter rotation :huh:

Hahahahah Done, :thumbsup:

that made me chuckle, he probably gave her a good beating when they got home too for being so stupid. I guess he will forgive her tho when she brings him enough beer while he watches the telly :huh:

But our free healthcare and free higher education sure works out to be expensive. :lol:

Here unleaded fuel is £1.15p per litre that breaks down as below Fuel = 37.35p Duty = 50.35p Retailer = 10.17p VAT (sales tax) 17.13p So we are also charged VAT (Value Added Tax) on the fuel duty. You can see the majority of the cost goes in taxes :smt013 Remind me again what you guys did...

I hear what you are saying, but they are in 2 different parts of the country with different borkers/sellers. Remember fuel here is almost double to what you guys pay so the Twin is going to be a hard sell under those circumstances. In Europe the more efficient boats command a premium over the...

Yep, it sure has. The arse has completely fallen out of the boating industry here, which is why i am now looking for a bargain. I can buy the same boat today for anywhere from a third to half price what they were from 6 months ago :grin: tho i do feel for the poor folks that HAVE to sell right...

I guess i should update my sig now, as we decided against the 230. infact we have decided against the 250 too and are now looking at the 270's as we have 3 boys oldest 10 youngest 3 Given it is such a buyers market right now if you have cash and no trade in i think it is more sensible to get a...

Yeah i do :thumbsup: I think i am going to give that boat a miss :smt009 There are just too many unknowns with that boat well, i have just one more boat, that i have seen and i do like but when i went to see it the seating had black mould, similar kind of thing the owner has not used it for...

Thats just the point he hasn't maintained it, which is obviously bad. But the only one good thing is that he bought the wrong boat in the first place as all he does is plod up and down the river. So the boat has not gone any faster than 10mph in the last 4 years :huh:

I too would be interested on hearing the thoughts of the more experianced members here on this problem. As the 97 240 i plan on looking at apprently has the same problem, the owner tells me he thinks the cables have coroded and need replacing :huh: Given i know nothing about this or even how...

I was hoping that this could be my next boat. I know you said walk if it has not been maintained but is it really that serious? what i mean is what is the worse case scenario I am desperate to get afloat this season, but having said that i don't want to buy any old boat in haste. The other...

Thanks for the advice guys. :thumbsup: I drove 150 odd miles to view the boat only to find black damp patches all over the cabin area, the carpets were not too great either, basically the boat was very tired :smt009 I am starting to lose heart in all this, the amount of people that tell you...
