    Outboards

    A boat with seven outboards on it? Or outboards made by Seven Marine? o_O Personally I think it hurts resale. I found a boat locally, which is almost exactly what I want -- only about 5 years old but it has a 300 Evinrude E-TEC and I passed. I've read similar: that Volvo bought them to kill...

    Nothing to do with boats - deer

    Wow that's a lot of deer. We have them everywhere but never more than 2-3 in a group. My biggest problem/amusement is the turkeys. They travel in a posse of up to 20, wandering the neighborhood. There is at least one fight that breaks out every day. Sometimes they sleep in the tall trees...

    EV Highfield….. we are doomed

    That's not lost on me! A 13' Whaler is the boat I use the most now. It gets great mileage and goes almost anywhere. It's also super easy to trailer anywhere.

    EV Highfield….. we are doomed

    I think I told you guys last year .... I picked up the 7.5 Merc Avator electric outboard to try on my skiff, which is only 100 lbs empty. Best case scenario, I get 5 miles on a full charge. It does 5mph at WOT -- for an hour -- which you have to do because 5mph is already too slow. I don't go...

    New boat prices

    I looked over the options list and wondered why someone would go to that expense ........ but not get a generator. If you look at the SR site, there is only a genny option on the 320 DA. On the 370 DA, you can only get an inverter. Have they gotten that much better? Or did the bean counters...

    What the hell did I buy?

    A regular seagull poster. Fly in, make a bunch of noise, crap all over everything, and fly away :rolleyes:

    Mercury SmartCraft connect gateway new install questions

    I'm not as familiar with Garmin, but on my SIMRADs, there is a way to go into settings and select the "source" for each item (like air temp). Maybe that is possible on the Garmin? Also with the SC connect .... I installed one last year on my CC. It wasn't completely plug-n-pray. There is an...

    New boat prices

    Price out the 370DA with the twin V-12 outboards. You're at 1 MIL before adding a single option :eek: I bought my wife a new 13' Whaler last year, and traded in my Sundancer towards a center console with OB. Yes -- major sticker shock. But it was nice to have a full boating season where I...

    Fascinating - a tool to breathe underwater while un-fouling a prop or anchor

    This is hilarious. If it takes 10 mins to refill the tank using the $500 compressor, how could you refill it in 15 mins using the hand pump? Even if that's true, can you see yourself pumping for 15 mins straight? I used a compressor to pump up a basketball the other day because I couldn't be...

    Pump out on a trailer

    One year when I had a Sundancer, I got hauled for the season and realized I forgot to get a pump out. The holding tank was mostly full. So I got about a 60-gal plastic storage tote, put it under the thru-hull, and ran the macerator to empty the tank. I forgot to do something with the bin, so...

    Minimum Bridge Clearance Height - 2002 Sea Ray 280 Sundancer

    The manual only gives the height from the waterline to the top of the windshield (not the top of the arch and anything else up there like radar, tv, gps etc) as 6'-11"

    2010 sea ray 390 sundancer with bravo 3 outdrive

    Here's an example of one. Check out all that space in the bilge :D https://www.yachtworld.com/yacht/2010-sea-ray-390-sundancer-9026327/

    2010 sea ray 390 sundancer with bravo 3 outdrive

    That's a BIG boat for Bravo III. I think the biggest I've seen in person was a 340 DA. There must be a ton of room in the bilge if it has outdrives. This is what the model archive says for options. Granted you'd have DTS and a joystick.
