    Anchor weight on bow. Advice Please??

    Have recently started carrying heavy anchor on my Marlin 300.The weight of anchor+chain+rope,is about 35kg.I do 3-4 foot seas at an average of 30 knots, anchor is tightly lashed,just wanted to know if Marlin's bow pulpit is strong enough to carry this weight??. Thanks

    Want to purchase a 2006-2008 Marlin 30- ???

    I agree with all comments.I own a Marlin with F350s,its an over kill!!! BTW even on the range bit,its an under performer,unless one gets a flat sea to cruse at 40 knots,which is rare in the Arabian sea atleast. But I love this fuel guzzler :) :)

    Is Grady The Same???

    I happened to work on my GW 300 today,was fixing a new fishfinder and had to do some work under the helm.I was surprised to see the GRP finishing in areas not visiable.My 2001 282 sailfish was just flawless in all respect.What I saw today was not expected from GW.Now this is almost a new...

    GW 300 F350s what is the max RPM? UPDATE!!!

    I am sure fuel quality is not the same as US,altough they say its 90 octane but i think its not more than 80 or so here. When the boat was surveyed it did 5700 max. Its also Monsoons here so the sea is really bad,I just gave it a run in the creek,maube the four strokes taker longer to fully rev.
