    Grady head sea ride

    Cobra, I have F150's that came on the boat. They don't call Oregon Inlet "Hell's Gate" and Diamond Shoals off Hatteras "The Graveyard of the Atlantic" for nothing. I can tell you after 10 years and 1600 hrs off the Outerbanks, trimming is not the problem. Hatterras is brutal. I need more ass...

    Venting problem w/ my '06 Gulfstream HELP!
