From what I have been told (and I have seen this on many boats) is that the fiberglass flexes to a greater degree than the gel coat can, especially if the gel coat is thick (or too thick). That fiberglass flex which is completely natural and normal can crack the gel coat.

Definitely sounds like "fun." It is nice when you finally get things like that sorted out.

I have the older F250's but did change to the 4 blade and prefer them considerably.

No red flags to me considering what you said (full rpms, not struggling). Is the boat heavier now than when you were hitting the better numbers (full fuel, full water)? If not, growth might be the ticket. It certainly can reduce by at least 5mph+. I don't think octane would change the power...

Common problem that I have with my '07 330 but didn't have with my '06. My current boat has an extra AC compressor for the fish boxes on the port side. Live well and holding tank are starboard but almost always empty. I compensated with a water bag for wakeboarding boats. Sits perfect...

The WEMA would be a factory replacement and likely what is wrong with your gauge. If that is the only thing that is wrong, the simplest fix is to replace with a new one. Six screws and two wires and the dash gauge will work like factory new. I have replaced them on my Grady and Regulator and...

In my opinion it is a misguided shift to 4 strokes. I have Yamaha 250 4 strokes on my 33 and 2 stroke HPDIs on my center console. I love the two stokes, simpler design, less parts, less maintainence, less things to break. Torquey and solid. They are out of fashion and not much can be done...

The etecs were incredibly engineered 2 strokes. Definitely an engine I was interested in. Sadly, not anymore. There will be ever decreasing support for them. It is a shame.

I am pretty certain the vent on the side of the boat is the vent for the holding tank. The vent for the newer gas fills are in the gas fill. If fuel is spilling into the fill, it is likely coming from the vent in the fill unless you are saying that the fuel is filling the 2" fill hose...

With no greater wisdom to add to toe in and toe out, I will add this: It is highly, highly unlikely that the toe has changed since you purchased the boat. A powerhead removal for exhaust work does not even disconnecting the steering. Even if it did, it is almost unfathomable that the steering...

Can someone else verify: my understanding is that the O2 sensor is useless at higher RPMs, it is only used for lower rpms. With the LP fuel pumps, take the hoses off and then try and suck and blow in each end you should be able to do one but not the other. I don't think that is the problem for...

I've owned the 330 Express, then a Marlin and now a 330 again. For me it is worth it, but I use my boat as a home away from home and overnight with wife more than I fish. When I decided to go up to the 330 again, my wife stated "why, we can do everything on the Marlin that we used to do on the...

Seasick made some good points. I believe that the O2 sensor is not supposed to make a difference at higher RPMS?, only at idle/low rpms. Anyone have intimate knowledge of that? As Seasick said, that motor intentionally drops 2 cylinders at idle. Could the switch that drops them be defective...

My 2007 330 Exprfess has a significant lean to port and I have read this is not unusual. I had a 2006 that was much more even. The only difference between the two boats is the optional fishbox cooler whose compressor is located port midship. I added a ballast bag (made for water skiing)...

Kohler gas through 2005. Those Kohlers have a tendency to look exactly like that after a few years, much more so after more than 15 years. I am guessing that is why they changed to FP diesel. You could mount the tank where the genset was.

Looks great. That is a really interesting way to trailer a trailer in the first picture. Small margin for error.

Same issue here, went with a newer one (all of which have the dimensions you mentioned) and had a new trim piece cut to fit from a cardboard template I made. Unless I missed something, there are no more microwaves being made to the original dimension of the factory installed unit.

simple to de-rig, use a local fishing marina to pull it out with their weigh- in block and tackle. That is what we did.

Does the trim work from the engine mounted trim switch? easiest thing to do is what seasick has mentioned, twice. disconnect the trim motor wires and connect to a battery pack (or battery). Motor should run. If it doesn't motor is bad and you can then go through all of the other...
