11 days in wet slip and I have been down at the boat 10 of 11 days. I am really enjoying having the boat in the water :grin:. I have been figuring "stuff" out that changes in the water versus on the trailer. Stuff I have observed:
- No more ladders to wash the boat :smt001
- I am making...
During my last oil change I had finally run through the Merc oil filters with the old part number and I installed the first set of new part number filters from my supply shelf (35-866340K01). I tightened as tight as my hands could make the filter (no differently than before). I went to remove...
I was replacing a couple of broken snaps tonight and I pulled out my Pres-N-Snap. I always forget how well made and happy I am with this tool. If you have snaps on your boat :grin: you may want to consider adding this tool to your tool chest. The folks over at Hoover Products did a great job...
Do you prefer nickel plated brass or stainless? Why? Does anyone know off the top of their head if the Great Lakes snaps are nickel plated brass or stainless. I ask before I sand one down :-)

I am looking for a source for the Bimini "Track" for 280DA (although other sport cruisers seem to have the same stuff). The plastic stuff that the zipper slides into on the arch. Has anyone had any experience with replacing this stuff. Factory installation leaves a bit to be desired and I...
I decided after 8 years it was time to upgrade tow vehicles. I wanted Mr. Cummins again (in fact that is what I thought I would end up with). I spent 2 months test driving, reading, test driving, reading, crawing underneath, and talking with folks on the respective big 3 diesel msg boards...
From another post.....
Yes I trailer a 280DA... everytime I use the boat.... we average 100-150 hours a year on the boat... so I would consider this pretty regular. The boat is pretty good trailer boat... pulls nicely I would not say that it is too big to trailer. No you need wide load...

Very interesting to have these whales (Mother and Calf) this far inland... well into fresh water. I would guesstimate 30-40 miles inland from the golden gate bridge. We get seals up in...

In process of the full detail of the 280 and found a very effective product that really helps for boats stored outside. In the last detail with my 220 I used detailing clay after the wash and before polish or color restorer... I was happy with the results but the 220 was garage kept and never...
thunderbird.... most of what I have learned about the optima’s is from Frank or from various publications on these batteries.... and a little bit of actual experience as I have had mine almost 5 months now.
As most of us are aware you can take what Frank says to the bank.... every time...
Has anyone here had an experience with Waeco Marine Refrigerators? I am looking for the best frig for to install in the cockpit. They seem to have some pretty cool frig designs such as the drawer and top loader designs as well as the classic front door types. Anyone ever use this brand?
