    360 improvements

    You do get a few drips from time to time but on the 360 the top canvas piece is very small. You won't be out ion conditions that cause this problem very often.....Trust me...

    I absolutely HATE the new glass option...I don't like the looks and I would rather have the option of rolling up the side curtains to control airflow. Your Genset should not do that - Have it looked at.

    The fuel gauges have an idiosyncrasy that MAT be what is going on in your boat. If one tank is nearly empty the gauge for that tank will read whatever the other tank gauge reads until you put more fuel in it. They are electronically measured using voltage so it isn't a stuck float issue. On...

    Leak...Check the hatches over the berth but my $ is on the stantions that support the hardtop. Hot water heater - Leave it on for a long time ...It takes a long while to heat up...Otherwise could be a fuse Shore power - You don't even need the y adaptor unless you are drawing more than 30...

    What should I do?

    Just for comparison's sake: Our dealer has a 2002 Marlin with Brand NEW 2005 225's on it. They took the boat in trade and repowered it with left over motors - They have factory warrantees. Boat is in good shape and has solid electronics. they are asking 89K and will probably take 80K. Same...

    330 Express

    Bob, You'll appreciate this since you are a POE fan. I was with Bill L. today at the marina (I am a customer - I don't work in the industry either) - And asked him about the first 330's since I thought maybe my memory was fading in my old age. Hull # 1 was at the NY show with the OX 250's...

    330 Express

    Bob, I know you are an expert and I hate to disagree. However, I was on hull #1 (or 2 - I forget) and it was 250 Ox's. The 4 strokes had not been released yet. It was delivered in February of that year and the boat was recently sold and repowered. You may have seen 4 strokes at a show...

    330 Express

    Actually, when the 330 was released the boat had 2 stroke 250's as they had yet to release any 4 strokes at all yet. You can still find some 2001 330's with the 2 strokes. After that they followed the yamaha release like clockwork: First 225's then 250's (A few of those 300 HPDI's - But I...

    330 Express

    I had one - Not underpowered. Almost no notable difference between that and a 250 boat other than top end and higher fuel burn. I've run both set-ups extensively and have posted about it numerous times on here.

    No...I'm not this guy's brother. I don't sell boats or anything else. The boat I have is irrelevant. If your top line budget is 70K that's fine. I don't ever remember reading that - In fact, I re-read all of your posts in this thread and it never says that. However, what you did say in so...

    You won't be happy with the two strokes...They are great motors but at that price you're way better of going for a little more and getting something newer. I'd look at the 2005 a little differently....YOU are letting 3K keep you from getting a solid, low hour boat in (Supposedly) great...

    head pumpout.

    This could be one of several issues. Not to offend - But are you sure you opened the seacock? If not, you would build up pressure, overheat the pump and possibly trip the breaker. Assuming that isn't the issue - There should only be one pump: Between the holding tank and the seacock - It...

    Bama, Please don't take this the wrong way...But you are worrying too much about the "Deal". Sure there are going to be "Steals" out there...But they are few and far between and are usually gone very quickly - Will you be there at the right time? How long are you willing to wait to save a few...

    Bad Month for my Grady

    Slow down Striperman....Could be simple.....There are several breakers on the boat and you need to check them all...Try near the batteries and look for breakers/fuses. It sounds like you have a power issue to your AC and sounder module on the navnet.....It could have been a power...

    Fuel burn on 95 263 Chase w/single Yamaha 250 Carb. Saltwate

    The hull pounded more with the single. rolled more, and "Surfed" badly...i know how to use tabs.....Just something about the twins made it settle way down...The 232 is the same way but not as bad.....
