happy new year! start the countdown to the 2026 boat season!

my signature is actually before the "refresh". i should add that i removed the OE stripe and replaced that with the current style stripe

they really made a big visual impact. between that and a new stripe, the boat looks much newer. next up will be dropping the bow rail and that will complete my visual updating project

i got new ones last year from my dealer. i think they were $200 per side

im not sure, but i think you need to have newer power. even so, hydraulic steering shouldnt be stiff or tough. have you looked into whats wrong with your current set up?

i was asking drew since he says his boat is a 99 and he has the full running surface which didnt "officially" start until 2000 as far as im aware

just out of curiosity, what are the last two digits of your HIN?

just go to a local shop. you will get a better product

100% bean bag chair, especially on the bow where the ride is rougher. it will be much more comfortable as well as fit in and conform to odd places better

were the 225s HPDI engines? maybe the HPDI vs OX66 is the fuel culprit. maybe someone that knows more about 2s motors can chime in

im not saying that due to price, im saying that due to a home being a requirement and appreciating asset vs a boat being a luxury item and a depreciating asset. also, where are you finding homes for $115k? im not sure that would buy a single wide trailer most places

if you have the cash on hand and COULD buy it outright without hurting your overall financial situation but are CHOOSING not to due to the advantage of your return on investments vs loan interest coupled with the effect of taxes, then you are good to go in the $$ side. taking a loan that you...

so, you are just saying that most people cant afford that boat. this is why prices are stupidly high. "if you cant afford it, just have the bank buy it for you" is what put the market where it is

since you are asking for opinions, i will give mine. not meant to be rude i dont believe in taking out loans for anything other than a home. if you cant buy it upfront, you cant afford it. i know this is a rare "old school" point of view (and no, im not an "old guy") not knowing the price...

just call Grady, they will tell you.

do you know that the 250s are healthy? do you have compression test numbers? do these have a vst? my vst was constantly overflowing, leading to fuel to continuously leak even if you dont have WOT numbers, was your cruse mph at 3700 rpm the same with both motors? have you run the engines on...

i got the 3M wheel on amazon

3M eraser wheel was the fastest and most effective. just dont sit in one spot

so, you went from 225 two strokes to 250 two strokes? unless that is v4 to v6 or they are completely different in some other way, they should be nearly identical. what props were on the 225s? what props are on the 250s? what was/is max rpm with both of the above set ups? are you sure the 250s...

will you will be able to run the boat then? or do you have to wait till spring
