    Lowrance LMF-200 Multi Function Display with EP-60R Fuel Flow Sensor

    The fuel flow sensors are $50 each. I have had the LMF200 on two separate boats now. They work every bit as well as the floscan units for less than half the price, I actually like them better. They can read an NMEA 2000 signal and display things like real time MPG, depth, engine temps, fuel...

    Well, that explains it. The Four Winns is the Microsoft Zune (TM) of the boating world. ;-) -Dave '04 Sea Ray 280DA T4.3s (for sale) '07 Sea Hunt 220 Previous: '04 Sea Ray 320DA, Donzi Z275 Cruiser

    some interesting iphone developements

    And, is it large enough to install a tower on? Like a REALLY tall tuna tower, but not for spotting game fish, but rather cell phone retransmissions? Can your genset handle a large microwave repeater and a rack of switches? Don't want to get anyone excited yet but I have an idea. -Dave

    some interesting iphone developements

    Guess my attempt at irony was a little too subtle. :-) You were bashing an entire product and two companies because it doesn't serve YOU well in YOUR area, remember? Thats a bit too generalistic for us fan boys to absorb into our thick skulls. I use my iphone for probably 80% data (not much...

    some interesting iphone developements

    Glad to know you've boated all over the coast of the US and beyond checking this out for us. And here I thought getting all those bars of service in the middle of corpus christi bay and the nearshore gulf was a GOOD thing. Come to find out, its all a sham. Thanks again. Next time out, my useless...

    some interesting iphone developements

    The brilliance of the iphone is not what it does, but HOW it does it. As a former user of RIMs and Treos etc, while those devices CAN do most of the things the iphone does, none of them do it well enough to make you actually WANT to use it. Except for maybe corporate email on the RIM. That...

    Boat antenna and digital TV signal?

    I had a motorola HDTV tuner on my last boat. It was 110V powered, but if you look at the AC power supply, it was just a 12v source. A $0.99 connector, 12v cig adapter, and an inline fuse from Radio Shack and it was a 12V HDTV tuner. Same with the 15" LCD TV that Sea Ray installed (Zenith), they...

    FS: '04 280DA, T4.3 Alpha, Loaded, Blue Hull, FRESHWATER!

    Thanks. After owning it for a while, I understand why its the boat that Sea Ray can't figure out how to replace. And why it has a tremendous following on this forum. It really hits a sweet spot. They would be wise to not change it too much. I looked on yachtworld and could not find any...

    Sat Tv & Radar

    I have directv in my spare bedroom. Of course, that *could* be a boat, but it still wouldn't be untrue :-) Also, I have heard that dish does phone checks. Essentially, when you call you have to be able to access all the receivers from the location where your home/billing phone is and confirm...

    Ship a boat ?

    $3.50 a mile isn't bad, I don't think. I have been quoted $2.50-2.75 for a 320DA when I was shopping for my old boat. But gas prices back then were at least 30% less. Also, keep in mind you need to include haul out, tear down, and loading onto the trailer, etc. Each of those could be a few...

    Sea Ray and Waterfront property

    I also seem to be on every waterfront resort community and boating community mailing list, but did not receive anything (probably in the wrong geographic area). What kind of price ranges are they talking about for water front lots and/or homes? I looked a lot at various coastal real estate...

    Repowering 280 with diesel

    Its not going to be cheap. You'll have to change out the genset to a diesel as well, thats going to be $10K alone. I'm guessing $35K minimum for the engine + install, genset + install, new fuel system, gauges etc. Then add in a donor 280DA. I'm not saying its a bad idea, just don't think...

    Value of 2005 340DA - 33 hours

    FYI....Theres one at my marina for sale. 2006 340DA, 6.2 v-drives I think. Was a leftover and only has a few hours on it 'cause the owner quickly moved up. It has *every* single option. 3 TVs, upgraded stereo, black hull, platform lights, bow thruster, and even the faux-teak cockpit floor (major...

    Value of New 2006 280DA

    As a data point, I took a 2004 280DA in trade on my 320DA knowing that I could put the 280DA up for sale and probably sell it quickly if I decided to. The broker ran all the comps from soldboat, yachtworld sold, BucValu, NADA, etc and gave me a breakdown on each. I still have that summary in...

    Value of New 2006 280DA

    A "new 2 yr old leftover" is still a used boat the moment you buy it, and would be worth no more than any other 2006 if you resold it. So as a buyer you are cheating yourself own resale retention if you compare it to new thinking you're getting a good deal. You should consider it to be worth the...

    A question for anyone who has a high-definition TV convertor

    Dave, I don't think you'll find any flip down TV's with a digital tuner built in yet. I googled and did not see any. Since it won't get you anything right now (that TV is not going to be HDTV compatible), I'd just wait until next year when the transition occurs and see if they have them at...

    A question for anyone who has a high-definition TV convertor

    Yes, the new HDTV converters replace the "tuner" part of your analog TV. The analog signals will be going away next year and all of the local stations have to be transmitting a digital signal. That doesn't necessarily mean HDTV, as it could be just analog quality TV being transmitted on a...

    Updating larger cruisers

    The chris craft is still my favorite. G - you need updated pictures of the interior of that boat. It will blow folks away. It really does rival the bests customs on the inside. The CC42 has some serious offshore attitude. Its wild to see that on a lake! I keep telling him to buy the Bertram 54...
