    1997 Tournament 225g - Whats the Skinny

    Welp... way too much glass work needed for it to be an equitable straight up trade. And, seller didn’t have enough $$ to make it worth my while and effort. So back to it. Thanks everyone for the help.

    1997 Tournament 225g - Whats the Skinny

    From what the manual says the aux is towards the stern. Thanks for the advice on the survey. I’m not saying I’m some amazing boat reviewer. But I can tell the general good from bad and know the major stuff to look for. So, I won’t be getting a survey. Guess what I’m asking is are there...

    1997 Tournament 225g - Whats the Skinny

    Thanks for the info! But, don't congratulate me yet! Still have to put the two girls together and see if he and I are OK with the swap. I love the heavy set-up for a solid feel in the water. the 20' Mako comes in at almost 5k on the trailer with 60 gallons of fuel. Either way it's in the...

    Is a used GW with HPDI engines worth it.

    this right here. the ox66 engine is fantastic. When properly maintained you cannot kill this engine. And, it's crazy easy to work on, and parts are easy to come by. People say they are thirsty, but if you're shopping for a boat based on it's fuel economy, then your priorities are off.

    1997 Tournament 225g - Whats the Skinny

    Oh! and the brochure has the center-line length listed at 22'2 - Does anyone know where she would measure in with the bracket? I bought a slightly oversized trailer for the mako (Rocket 22') and i'm hoping it'll work for the Grady. Damn trailers are expensive.

    1997 Tournament 225g - Whats the Skinny

    Well the center console experiment failed with the family. And I understand why. Long story short I bought and began the refurb of an 86 Mako 20c. I loved it. Structurally was sound as a pound. Just was ugly and mistreated. New non-skid, a respray and a whole bunch of rubbing compound and...

    92 Overnighter 204c 200 Yamaha - what mounting hole?

    Boat I'm looking at has the engine mounted as low as it can - seems like it should be up a hole. Anyone with a similar set up that can tell me where yours is set? Thank you

    Re: Taking a Sea-Trial Tomorrow - Anyone wanna help the new Everything went perfect out on the water. Everything worked - engine ran fantastic. PO was running pre-mix and using oil injection for break-in after new power head. But did an entire tank full so it's running a little oil heavy...

    Sea-Trial Done - questions for the pros here!

    Re: Taking a Sea-Trial Tomorrow - Anyone wanna help the new Being that I've never owned an engine newer than '97 - I'm not sure it'll bother me too much. My friend put me in touch with a Yammie mech today and got a full run down on what to look over on the engine. So that should help along...

    Re: Taking a Sea-Trial Tomorrow - Anyone wanna help the new Thank you - I appreciate the advice and I'll try and make some calls to see if anyone can get there tomorrow or soon after. Sadly my last experience with a surveyor was next to useless. But, i didn't catch what he didn't catch...

    1995 Johnson Ocean Runner Stalling When Returned to Neutral

    Re: 1995 Johnson Ocean Runner Stalling When Returned to Neut ^this. It's on the starboard side of the engine near the throttle linkage. It's a small black box with a little nipple on the end of it. when you shift to neutral it kills half the engine to make it easier to shift into reverse...
