I'm thinking in the $400-$500 dollar range. No controls. There is a control console box, with a compass. I'd ditch the control box all togeher as it makes the entire thing heavy. I think it would be awesome without the excess weight. I'll take better pics soon, once I am done with...

These are back from when I bought the boat but you get the idea of what you you will be getting into if you do it.

I'm getting ready to sell the one from my Marlin since the buyer does not want it. drop me an email if you are interested. jehines3@gmail.com

Barrier coat 2x's and then anything you want. You need to seal back up the rough surface which will be left after you blast is. I had mine blasted last season. It does remove some gel. This will also help seal up any fine lines air bubbles from layup etc. You will be surprised what you'll...

I have the 106 and there were a few offered from the information I have. I have a standalone 50 and a standalone 200 for the 106. jh

The previous owner of mine went out to the ditch often from Lewes Delaware. He had a divider system made out of lexan for different size weights. I've since removed the dividers and carry a much lighter lead assortment in that compartment since I am inshore. It is a nice place for weights...

I got a price from number 2 for my Marlin. I was hoping to replace the frame and reset the glass. Even that was boku. The whole windshield was around $2600. Just to refinish my frame with me doing all the labor to remove and reset was over $1000. I'm sure thats going rate, but I passed. I...

Go electric over hydraulic for the brakes and add a brake controller in the truck. My marlin trailer has a DICO 12k surge coupler which I'd love to switch over to electric just to give better control.

We bought our Marlin when we found out my wife was pregnant with our second. Our 21' Seaswirl Striper WAC was just too small. It's hard to believe that we've had the boat two seasons now. It works well for us, a bit more cabien space would be better, but it works. Plenty of space in the...

Dude, No offense was intended. Sorry of you took it that way. jh

You should have a minimum of 6 lines at least 3/8 diameter in a slip that exposed. Two stern, two bow, two spring. It should allow for any single line failure without dock or piling contact. It looks and sounds like you had less, so maybe consider modifying the arrangement. I'm just trying...

I would naver back down in less than a 2 foot slip. Thats allot of spinning SS to get screwed if the tide is really low that day.

I take a completely different approach to boat tools. Buy the cheap version of whatever you need. I hit up harbor freight and filled a whole tool box for like $50. Nothing worse than dropping a $55 SS adjustable wrench over, I'd feel like I'd have to swim for it. To have a full set of real...

Dude that sucks. I wish I had a spare to give you bro. A few comments from the video. I honestly think that given the exposure of your dock you should consider modifying your dock line approach. I think the overall size line used is marginal and the method allows for allot of movement in...

Trust me inspect the inside of the tank through the fuel sender. If there is a little gremlin inside he will always resurface when the other tank is empty. Just what I found on mine and it drove me nuts-o. As a test, refill the last known working tank but keep running off the suspect tank... jh
