That’s what I’m talking about!

You hit it on the head with the good turnover comment. Once you get the stink out, keep using it… best way to keep it fresh.

I used to be a naysayer because i bought into the dopey nonsense I read on some forums. Then I actually saw a boat with it and I was sold instantly. I'm going into season 3 with mine and I love it. feels so good to walk on it barefoot. And lets face it, it's easier to keep a little dirty-...

There is no need to drink water on a boat this size. It's not like you will be taking weeks long extended trips with no access to land. flush the tank as good as you can to a level of "i'm ok washing may hands in it." Yanking the tank seems extreme. Mine is 20 years old and I get so it...

Do a search on here. This isn’t the only the thread on this. The consensus was time better spent improving what you have. i have an ‘04. I clear siliconed the joint between the horizontal part and the cockpit floor. After it dried I pulled it up and enough stayed that it’s like I put a...

No denying the issue… but IS it an issue or WAS it an issue? Was it model dependent? The ones I've read about are boats from the 90's. are all the 2000's marlins/sailfish, etc suspect?

I've taken to hosing everything down with the juice days before i work on it... if you want to make your life easier, also wire brush or if you have room, wire wheel the threads that you see beyond deez nutz

I bought one of those amazon side mount ones. shrink wrap coming off soon. I'll do a mockup and see if the positioning works out

I was thinking in the cockpit on mine. I want a table out there but I'd rather not do a floor mount because I have seadek and i'd have to cut it. question, on a 330 express, there are multiple inspection ports running down the centerline of the cockpit floor. would a floor mounted table...

I really like that

If you are on the hard, go out there at night and have someone shine a light from outside all under the cap and vents, where pulpit attaches, anywhere you can think of. If you are inside you may be able to find it. If it only comes in when running the boat, I'd guess its coming in above water...

And a bag of cash stuffed under the cowling

I added a side folding bench on my 330. It could easily adapt to the rear of a 265 like the earlier pics shown in this thread. I got it from elevation marine. comes in a few different lengths too. color and pattern nearly indentical to factory grady. Elevation Marine Folding Bench

I'm still playing with engine height but I'm WOT 42.5mph, fast cruise 4900 @35mph at 1mpg, slow cruise (slow for me) 4500 @31mph, 1.2/1.3mpg. I have verados with 1.85 lower units. I'm running 17p enertia ecos, engines mounted at the very highest position. oceandansar gets better numbers with...

having it "lean" back like it is makes it look professional and not like some dude just made it. I really like it!!
