2011 270SLX 8.2 MAG (380php) Bravo III X DTS
No Tower, big Bimini top instead
No powered windlass. Gotta haul it in manually
Stereo Upgrade (Harmon Kardon Speakers, Amp Sub woofer)
Black Hull, Mocha Interior
Transom Lights
Vacu flush Head
Magma Grill
Remote Spot light
Docking Lights
All the Canvas (Black)
No fridge
Garmin 640 GPS
2 days on the water. Dry storage for now. Anybody try to trailer this big baby? 28 x 9 and 6100lbs dry, seems like a lot to haul.
I don't mind the Dry Storage, but they are a little rough on the boat. Forks, the narrow "Bunks" that it rests on the scraping and marring of the hull bottom, etc.
Plus I left my Trim Tabs down and now the left one is bent from the fork lift. There was much anger. I noticed it right as he brought the boat out of the water but he wouldn't set it down.
Does anyone wet slip for the season then store it on a trailer, or what? I'm looking for options.
As far as performance goes, I get around 50 indicated. My GPS is inop right now, so that speed doesn't really count.
But that was 3 on board (one in the bow), full tank, full water, Bimini Up, no tabs, slight chop.
I love answering questions.
I've got some experience, I love mechanical stuff and have been working on my own, and others, boats, cars, motorcycles, and computers for years.
I really really love this boat. I have been boatless for about 5 years, and it sucked. If you are a boat guy, don't let go of your boat. It ages you.
But now I am back....
Let the Mayhem Begin!!!!
