Has anyone had problems with the power steering? We took out our boat last weekend (we have had it for 4 summers now) and the steering was stiff. We ran around for about 30 minutes and it seemed to loosen up. We are boating on a new lake and the boat is not on a lift. We think it is either a...
Was anyone on Saylorville last Sunday? It was my first time on a lake that close to a tornado. It was crazy. Did anyone hear if the sailboats were ok?

Hi 220ish owners!!!! I am glad to see action on this thread again. I have read that several of you have anchor lockers. My boat is missing this option. So we purchased an anchor roller and lock to store the anchor. Have any of you attempted this???? Also if you don't have an anchor...
congrats---But I am a bit sad because you are my boat-buddy. I only dreamed of getting my boat into the same shape as your boat. Did you tell the new owner about clubsearay? I would love to continue to get updates. Have fun finding your new boat.
One more thing--I know our boat rocks...
I love my swimplatform. It is a great winter project. It was hard to have the boat out of the water for a week this summer. Also--it takes several weeks if you order the platform in the spring. So fall is a great time to buy.
I have placed custom cut carpet over the carpet in my cabin. I replace it every season. the custom cut carpet is very dirty at the end of the season. The carpet in the cabin stayed clean even with lots of 4 year olds hanging out in the cabin (lots of dropped snacks). I also used a light...
I just purchased tri-lux anti-fouling paint for the outboard of my 220 sundancer. Do I need to primer before painting. I am planning on putting this over the current paint. The guy at the marine store said no--but I want your opinion also.
Thanks---Marckmann
seat and swim platform
The swim platform is great. It is not a giant trim tab. I have noticed no difference in the performance of the boat while moving. I have noticed a great difference while anchored. We have so much room now. The ladder is now under the platform and in the middle. We...
boat upgrades
Here are the pictures of the platform. I love it. The boat is a little dirty in the pictures--but we have been boating lots this summer. I love the baskets. I am going to have to go buy some right away.
I have also includes some other pictures. We made an upper seat to...
platform and other stuff
sorry I haven't posted pictues of the platform....I have been to busy using it. I will when I get my camera out to the boat.
The platform is great. I have no problems getting to plane. I love the platform. I use it more than I use most parts of the boat. It...
We pulled out boat out to have the swim platform put on and the outboard needs a little attention. Any words on wisdom on how to sand off rust on what antifouling paint to use.
Another quick question. We are needing to buy a fan for the cabin. Any recomendations? We noticed this koolaire...
Just another stupid question
I have another "newbie" question.
Do you feel that your boat rides better with a full tank of gas? We have always had a 1/2 tank or less and the boat feels tippy. This last weekend--since our lake is VERY FLOODED--we went about an hour up the river. It was...
I made the long trip up the river from Saylorville on Sunday. It was great. We almost made it to Boone. The ledges was wonderful.
I recommend the trip--we only had to slow down a few times when the water was less than 10 feet deep. This flood has at least one good aspect.
Also--I never...
