    Anyone live in the Baltimore area? Looking at/would love opinions on possibly buying a GW 228 Seafarer.

    From my own personal experience Tri State marine was a pleasure to deal with. I found them to be very honest and did business the old fashion way, no pressure, no BS. They do a pretty thorough inspection on all boats prior to sale as they stated. After purchase we had our local Yamaha guy go...

    Price check ... slip and storage fees

    ...not bad considering the 12 months of use you get. They lease lifts up here and charge $10,000 annually

    Price check ... slip and storage fees

    Curious as to the slip and storage fees in different locals. Take in consideration what your Marina may have to offer needs to be factored in. Not to the penny but I'm paying $195 per foot for a 30' slip April thru October = $5850 then $52 per foot for haul out pressure wash block and storage =...

    Gonna tackle a soft spot

    I have a soft spot to the port side of my Bomar cabin hatch on my Marlin. It’s a small area about 12” square I detected when we purchased the boat last fall. I suspect it got there via the hatch cut out not being sealed correctly or possibly from around the hardtop pipe work support that is...

    Bilge smell in Marlin mid/aft berth

    Fabuloso… you can buy it at the Home Depot. I try to keep the bilges dry but throw a shot of the above in forward and aft before heading home after the weekend. Just a splash in the head and sink traps keeps the chicks still digging me. I prefer the lavender

    Looks Like I'm the Newest Member to the Club-Transom Restoration Begins

    From a quality control aspect have the Scientist in the transom design and fabrication department done anything different to remedy this problem other than installing a plastic bang plate on new builds vs the aluminum one ?? What year are we in now ? ( sarcasm ) sorry I couldn’t help myself.

    Sailfish 282 Companion Seat

    Bought a used Marlin last fall that had the companion seat (previous owner had removed the helm seat). I promptly removed it and replaced that companion monstrosity and put a helm seat back in its original spot. I found it to be too low for visibility purposes and It took up too much room etc...

    I Need a Valve Job

    Best wishes to you Doc … that will most likely be an open procedure. And the tissue valve would be my choice also for a multitude of reasons. I had an open procedure in January 2020 after an incidental discovery of an aneurysm at the root of my aorta (boy I was lucky). It was large however the...

    Marlin 300 transducer

    I had a pair of Airmars installed prior to having the bottom blasted (high/low) both port and starboard. We left the existing one in the flat for the old unit which is a backup.

    Just curious, MPG (or GPM) on a Marlin w/ twin Yamaha 300s?

    From what I can surmise from reading the different threads on this topic the 250's are adequate enough to get the job done albeit a little more thirsty. The 350's would be my choice if buying new, I like the extra power. The tenths of a mile per gallon are miniscule in the grand scheme of...

    Just curious, MPG (or GPM) on a Marlin w/ twin Yamaha 300s?

    1.1/1.2 is about right with 250’s. I understand the F300’s are around 1.4 or 1.5

    Transom Rebuild - The Saga Begins

    Sorry to here about that experience. Seems that high prices and unsatisfactory results has been a broken record in just about anything we do these days. One can only hope that when they cross that bridge (transom repair) things are cooled off a bit and we won’t have to “clench the cheeks” when...
