    300 Marlin

    Looks like I most likely will be riding it out for this season. The seller is going to run out the sesaon until the fall … very disappointing to say the least

    300 Marlin

    Doing some spring maintenance, genset oil change and fuel filter . Remove old fuel each spring and put in fresh. Wax goes on this weekend, should have pictures available next week. Still no word on prospective new boat so I’m preparing as usual.

    Any Boat Industry Feedback ?

    With most of the large venue boat shows winding down has anyone got any feedback on sales thus far ? Seen plenty of folks attending, just wondering how many are reaching for the checkbooks in light of higher interest rates and waning trust in the banking institutions ?

    283 vs 306 canyon

    … btw one thing is certain if considering or comparing the 283 to your current boat (28 Albemarle). If fishing wrecks or drifting the 283 will out shine the Albemarle hands down. Now on the other hand there will be no comparison when up and running in a sea, that is where the Albemarle scores...

    Couldn’t have said it better myself

    283 vs 306 canyon

    Can’t argue with your assumption that the 283 may be a little easier to push. However I have a 30 Marlin (same hull as the 306) which is probably a little heavier than that 306 and the 250’s move her along at 26-28kts around 44-4500 rpms. … one thing is almost for sure, you won’t regret...

    Outrigger poles what length ??

    15’ Taco’s in Aluminum is what came with the boat. Not enough of a spread for my tastes. Last boat I had 20’s triple rigged. Prior to that we had double spreader 28’ trip rigged on my diesel express. Buddy of mine is using 20’ Taco CF trip rigged and likes those on his 31’ Reg. His are...

    Outrigger poles what length ??

    Might purchase new poles for the Taco hardtop mounted bases. Personally I like one piece solid poles for many reasons. Was contemplating going with 20’ carbon fiber Lees with the built in rollers. I currently have the Taco aluminum collapsible four piece units that came with the boat. Taco does...

    AC Boat Show

    Attended the Atlantic City show yesterday. Some beautiful boats to be seen. Love the smell of fresh gel coat and fiberglass… but not so much the sticker prices. GW had a spread there but nothing larger than the 325 Center Console. No express models just mostly DC’s and CC’s nothing that interest...

    300 Marlin

    It could be weeks or more due to the fact the boat I'm looking at is winterized and stored. Survey etc would need to be performed. I won't make the listing official until all is complete with that sale.

    NE Boat Show

    750k boat (33 Freedom or express) 350k down payment 400k financed over 15 yr = aprox 40k per yr in payments (mostly interest up front). Add in 10-12 k in slip and storage fees Add insurance 3k and you’re staring down the barrel of 55k annually and you haven’t even turned the key , gassed up or...

    My guess is we’ll see those same sticker prices at the Atlantic City show

    NE Boat Show

    Holy Moly .... without a doubt those prices would dictate, or give the impression that if you own one in good shape it should fetch a good dollar should you decide to sell. Interest rates ?? Certainly one would think that would have an impact. Geez
