    Anyone ever heard of a SeaRay outboard???

    Your location is WA State.....Moses Lake area??? That has got to be the same boat that I've been looking at.

    Anyone ever heard of a SeaRay outboard???

    Looking at an 88 SeaRay. Owner says it has a 135 SeaRay outboard on it......thinks it's was made by Merc??? The picture sent is a bit fuzzy, but sure enough it says SeaRay on the side of the cowling, but doesn't look like any outboard I've seen before.....maybe just the mostly white paint job...

    To thru-hull or not to thru-hull???

    Looks like it takes a 3/4" from the supply side.

    To thru-hull or not to thru-hull???

    The only difference is that it looks like your in Ohio and I'm in Washington State. Your raw water is probably fresh vs salt water for me. I'm sure that even fresh/lake water can stink up after awhile, but I KNOW that this is a common complaint from salt water.

    To thru-hull or not to thru-hull???

    Would having a seperate small tank just for toilet supply meet this requirment?

    To thru-hull or not to thru-hull???

    I'm guessing your talking about your DA??? In my DB the only thing behind the bathroom is the engine compartment. I do have a seat just in front of the bathroom that I could possible fit a tank under though....hmmmm.

    To thru-hull or not to thru-hull???

    And here I thought I had this whole part of the planning all figured out. Now you guys have got me rethinkin it. So let's explore the "fresh water" option- I know about the stinky part, but was under the impression that one could dump a little clorox in the bowl if it was parked for any...

    To thru-hull or not to thru-hull???

    Here's the sitch. Boat came with a porta-potty that the Admiral was never really excited about....ok, she hates it. Cap'n B finds a used toilet, hoses, y-valve, macerator pump and 20G holding tank on craigslist and the Admiral is pleased with the direction things are heading!....get it...

    Route home advice??

    Got in late last night. Timed it so we went through the Siskyous in the middle of the day and we sailed right thru. Other than that it rained like crazy all the way up the coast, we cruised right along back to home. Thanks for the help. B

    Route home advice??

    Thanks guys for all the input. I had been leaning towards sticking with the ho-hum I-5 route, but thought that if I got some pretty possitive feedback about the Vegas route I'd take it to see another part of the country. After reading all the posts it just confirmed that I better stick to the...

    Route home advice??

    Thanks for the insight. Ran into a buddy after work and he was saying that the route in northern AZ/ southern UT can get a bit dicey....anyone know about this neck of the woods?

    Trailer bunk location

    As far as pics go, I don't have any pics of the Pre-Busted trailer with the boat. I could take some pics of the broken crossmembers and some of the work I'm doing right now to repair. Doug- I wonder why they recommend not placing the bunk under the stringer??? You're right, I'll get ahold of...

    Distributer conversion

    I just did this very thing on my 26' with a 454. I had the Thunderbolt 4 system on mine and was having trouble with the Thunderbolt ignition module and the replacement for just that part alone was going to be over $400 and I still had an old coil and dist. After adding up the cost with replacing...

    How Not to Trailer Launch a Boat

    Local marina guys where telling me about a guy who mounted some equipment in his boat. Couldn't figure out why his boat wouldn't come off the trailer at the ramp??? Figured out he'd drilled thru the bottom of the boat into the trailer bunks! Trailer straps optional I guess.

    1989 268 Repower - Prop question

    Tim That's a question that could go in all kinds of directions and you probably aren't getting too many responces b/c it's vague. Here's a few pro's/con's that you can consider. 3-Blade Pro's -Most of these are aluminum which keeps the cost down. You can get them in Stainless which is...

    Tacoma, Wa members?

    Wondering if there's a Tacoma, WA member that could help me out??? I've found a wiper motor for my boat and it's a match to what I've got to replace. It's for sale in Tacoma, I'm 2 hrs north in Sedro Woolley and the seller will not ship. I'm supposed to be heading down that way in a week or...
