    Snap in carpet recommendations for older 225 Tournament

    I can't help you with the carpet, but as an FYI... YKK makes a seld-adhesive snap fastener call SNAD... You can use them to avoid having to drill/screw the fasteners on the deck.

    Hello and questions for 2001 306 Bimini

    When I bought my 2018 306 Canyon with "C Series" F350s, I discussed it with service manager at my local GW/Yamaha dealer. He told me to avoid the "A & B Series" motors. He said the "C Series" are fine.

    Battery issues on my 2021 F285 - dealer replace or West Marine DIY?

    If you go the DYI route, make sure to bundle the wires (as suggested in post #4) and perhaps label them. It is VERY easy to get wires confused, miss a ground, etc. Good luck with it. I would also suggest taking a few pictures.

    Electronics cost

    I'd budget $25k. Are you including a VHF, radio, antennas, GPS antenna, a mount for the RADAR, autopilot? Plus, there are going to be a bunch of incidentals: cables, sealants, antenna mounts, misc. hardware, etc. It adds up pretty qickly. At the risk of spending your money, get what you want...

    Hello and questions for 2001 306 Bimini

    FYI: on my 2018 Canyon with F350s, the scuppers are well above the water. They are in the painted waterline, but out of the water.

    Hello and questions for 2001 306 Bimini

    Hi, Regarding the fuel consumption with the F350s. I have a 2018 Canyon 306 with twin F350s ("C" Series). I cruise at 30 MPH getting 1.4 MPG. (boat goes through most anything at 26-30 MPH) If I run at 47 MPH or greater, then it drops to .8 - 1 MPG. Given that you said you don't fast, fuel...

    2023 Freedom 235 winterize water systems

    Just an FYI, many insurance companies will only cover freeze damage if the winterization was performed by a dealer/yard, etc.

    Spot light recommendations

    I didn't look for battery powered, so I can't offer any suggestions on that aspect.

    Spot light recommendations

    Hi, When you "say" wireless, do you power or remote? ACR (model ACR RCL-95) makes an excellent spotlight wired for power and wireless remote for operation.

    scuffed gelcoat

    I would try some polishing (not rubbing) compound followed by some wax or a cleaner/wax product. I believe polishing compound is about as least aggressive as it gets with still be effective.
