    long-haul tow Marlin 300

    I just had a Marlin transported from Islamorada, FL to Norfolk, VA last month. Permits were needed as well as an escort out of the Keys (police) and he was required to leave at night. For the rest of the trip I believe he only had oversize load flags on the trailer but no escort. Cost $4500

    Deck Material, what's your choice?

    Thanks for the inputs. The boat is stored inside, I've been on a couple of other boats in my GWC who have it, from different manufacturers. I do think it adds to the looks of the boat but main reasons are much better traction and cushioning under foot. Haven't committed yet, just want to get...

    Ron does your galley have a cabinet with a shelf on top above the countertop? The 2020 I'm looking at only has a shelf, all of the other model years I've seen have a storage area/cabinet above the countertop.

    Nav lights on a 208

    I switched to Attwood LED's purchased from Overton's a few years ago. They have a ten year warranty, had one go bad after a couple of years and they replaced it with no hassle. No problems since.

    1997 208 Wash down pump not working

    On the freshwater pump there is a screen-type filter on the inlet side that gets clogged up with algae, etc. Unscrew it, clean the filter and replace it. Don't know about the saltwater unit.
