    4th of July?

    Don't sweat the dumb stuff. We've all done them and some of us, primarily me, continue to from time to time. I've forgotten the lower unit twice. Once during the first few outings and another when loading with a new boating buddy. My wench was old and somewhat broken. He didn't know to lock...

    Sad boating accident verdict in

    We went to Monroe last 4th of July and will never go back. Jut about my worst experience boating. Water was way too choppy for my little 20' and ended up having a carb issue in the middle of the lake. I swear a cruiser intentionally tried to drown us (2 young kids on board to boot) by flying by...

    2002 290 Bowrider Stereo System Upgrade and Where to Buy Swim Platform

    Boats stereos are easier than cars, IMHO. Much easier to run wires and no trunks to crawl in. Big thing with boats is making sure you have enough juice (read: batteries) to run the system. Minimum is 2 with a switch. Car decks are fine to run in boats in a non-salt water environment. Plus...

    Input on "other brands"

    Of the above Revised List here's my experience: Regal: Have a few buddies with Regals. Seem to be a real nice boat. The guy I bought my SR from replaced it with a 235 Regal Cuddy, and while it seems to be a bit underpowered (350), its a nice ride and great layout. Monterey: No experience...

    1996 210 Signature BR subwoofer placement Q's

    My engine sits in between the left and right seats in the back. I thought about (2) 10s but can't really afford to lose any storage space along with not really wanting to cut holes in the boat.

    1996 210 Signature BR subwoofer placement Q's

    I'm not sure how much different a '96 210 is to my '89 200, but I mounted a single 12" underneath the dash on the port side. Sub is firing down. Sounds pretty good and very stealth. The only thing I wish I would have done was gone with a ported box instead of sealed. I went sealed because in...

    Stereo upgrade for 200 br

    I would say you best option would be a set of components and cut them into the boat. I did this on a buddy's boat last year. We used the MTX TM6001s and mounted the 6.5" driver under the seats facing each other and mounted the 1" tweeters up higher which allowed passengers to easily hear music...

    Stereo upgrade for 200 br

    While my 200BR is a 1989 and I'm sure the layout is different, I have a pretty decent system. My system consists of: Kenwood CD head unit w/iPod Control Phoenix Gold SD800.5 5-channel amp (2) SpeakerCraft OE5 Three Home Outdoor Speakers (bow) (2) SpeakerCraft OE6 Three Home Outdoor Speakers...

    Tri-state NKY, OH, IN introductions

    That stinks full time. That happened to me two weeks ago, but it dies right after I pulled off the trailer and the truck was up the ramp. I went from reverse to drive and died. Took two hours to diagnose and get it running right. My problem was the fuel filter. I'm just a tick west of you...

    Going crazy over pricing...

    When I was looking at boats earlier this summer I kept finding asking prices considerably above NADA value. In order to determine a good "deal" I feel you just need to compare what is out there at that price, determine whether or not you are comfortable spending that much money, and simply make...

    End of the Showroom as we know it

    I say this is a trend you are going to start seeing more and more of in all different types of markets. In turn it can make the manufacturers and businesses more profitable by keeping overhead low. This is the business model we have in the custom a/v world. We keep very little inventory and...

    Trespassing Help!

    This would be my advice along with saying something to the kids when you see them on your boat. Just explain to them in a nice manner how you would appreciate it, it's your boat, liability, yadda, yadda, yadda. If they get off the boat when you yell they may listen to some of what you say and...

    Sea Ray vs....

    To me when determining the type of boat, like many others have stated, is where exactly will you be boating and what are the conditions like. We primarily boat in the Ohio River or take it south to Barkley/Kentucky lakes which all those areas are fairly big bodies of water which can see a lot...
