Thank you everyone for your help. We went for our first ride yesterday on the new boat and what a world of difference versus the Stingray. That extra thousand pounds and different cut of the front keeps the nose down and no porpoising
I was really only concerned with sink water. I used to race motorcycles and in the 5th wheel all waste went to a grey or black holding tank. I incorrectly assumed the same on a boat
Good my better half just wants the sink working. I'll probably remove the head and use it for storage. If the sink water doesn't go to the holding tank I'm thrilled. I just assumed all grey and black water went to the holding tank
Awesome, I'm all the way on the other side of the lake, passed State Park in Landing around the block from Lake End Marina, I look forward to seeing it
Sounds like you have your answer, you convinced me. Let me know where I can see your new sdx, ice is a little thick now but today is supposed to be in the mid 40's so a step in the right direction
I live by State Park and have a bowrider, we love the extra deck space for seating. My close friend has a 26' crownline cuddy. The head and when it rains are the two situations where I'm envious. We have adult kids so I wouldn't trade for those two things. We just go home if it starts to rain...
I appreciate your concern, I live on the lake so unless the missus has an issue with it, I won't be in violation of any dock rules. Did a search trying to back up your claim about static electricity, it's pretty humid in my area I can't imagine that's a thing, but again I do appreciate your...
Sorry if this has been covered, I'm not sure what words to use to search properly. I just bought my first boat with a head. There will be a strict no #2 policy. I work weekends so time on the lake is a premium. I have 5 gallon gas cans so I don't have to drive across the lake to the nearest...
I'll have a huge smile if my significant other, can ride in the front on a Saturday without complaining that her ribs are getting crushed from the bouncing. lol. Thanks again.
Jim, thank you very much. I appreciate the insight. I'll follow yours and Lazy's advice and just run the boat. I can always take it out of the water and add the tabs later. I'm relieved it wasn't just me, but thrilled that the new boat may not need any help at all.
Lazy thanks again but I'm really only concerned with people's experiences with smart tabs and sea rays. Preferably 22' ones. Thank you for the advice above as well
They build the stingray to be fastest in class so the boat only weighs 3000 lbs, this might have been part of the problems. Lots and lots of people complain about it on the stingray forums. The tabs are a switch on the console but only a minimal change and not electric or pneumatic.
I'm less concerned with the stingray since I'll only drive it for a sea trial or two in the spring and would love to hear people's experiences with sea rays, thank you though for your help
