That is a 2500 and it looks like it probably has helper air bags in the back.......but still probably heavier than the rated capacity of the truck. Certainly has the wrong height ball mount for that trailer too. The trailer i had for my 26DA needed a (if i remember correctly) a 8" or 10" ball...

Just by feel. Unlike most go fast style boats.....sea ray trim tabs are opposite and have no indicator. You just follow the little arrows for what you want to happen and hold a little longer. Right side controls left trim tab. Funky. This is my second sea ray and we can from go fast...

That would be great for the industry. Its been undervalued for a long time. Think about how many other semi-skilled folks charge $100 + per hr to come out and work on-site.....dont even have a facility to pay for. But hey, if you want to work cheap, go for it.

We use several 1541's, 1560's, a Seiko Zig-Zag, and a Juki 158 long arm. All have been great for us. While most of the fabric structure industry has adopted tape/glue welding machines and RF......marine work will always need sewing b/c of the odd shapes and movement. If you can find a 1541...

Looks like good prices there. Im sure they buy massive quantities from glen raven at a great price....enough that they can compete with the in house supplier for glen raven in the retail market. If you are attempting to fabricate on your own....good on ya. Obviously you can save a "boat load." ;)

I figured low quantity cut yardage of burgundy seamark.....so worst case. Anything redish is usually a premium. Blues/Grays/Greens/Tans are more like $26yrd at full roll price + ship & tax. Those are my prices from Trivantage. Not sure where you buy from, but retail is all over the place and...

Thats the free market for ya. More than likely the higher priced guys have correctly realized the value of their time and resources. My industry is always host to startups and mom/pop shops that think they can come in and be the cheapest. All they do is stay in biz for a short time, make no...

Of course prices go down if you buy more quantity......but then you are financing stock material/colors that may or may not get used in reasonable time. We don't do boat or marine work (architectural/structural/signage) but i imagine the seasonal aspect of the work is a major factor in...

Ive been in the canvas biz for almost 12 yrs. Id say most people have no idea the labor hrs it takes to fabricate a top, sides, curtains, you name it. Nothing is straight, plenty of unique attachment points, and fabric boat components have to be finished perfect. You would accept nothing less...

Looks like a SLX-R 350 OB with twin 400r's is coming out. Anybody been on one yet? How fast is it compared to the triple 300 or 350 verados?

I wish I had questions for my 450+dancers genny........but I dont.....b/c my dancer is a 260, but I run the genny all day and night when I want.

Wow.....looks great. What kind of backing is on that carpet?

Good find. Thats what mine came with. Mine developed a leak in the coil and now I have a new 7k installed two yrs ago.

THAT is cool. Nice not to worry.

The BIII is more efficient. The BII started life as houseboat/pusher drive and usually does its duty swinging larger diameter props on boats that dont plane. They dont put BII's on little cruisers anymore....and is an odd find.

You keep a 480 sedan bridge on a lift......wow. Got to see that.

It should like that motor a lot. Should get you close to 50mph too I would think.

That hydraulic swim platform would be great behind my lil' 260.

I too looked at a Chap. It was a new 270 Sig. I like the idea of the cabin liner, but even with that your still stuck with a pocket or express cruiser that isnt a Sea Ray Sundancer......the benchmark of that style of boat. Like it or not, people look for dancers and buy something else when...

What is the material name? (I own an awning and shade company........we do some boat covers/tops from time to time too) Id be happy to post the inside scoop, if any, on this material...or any textile.
