    Appears a little high. 350 hours is like new, but no trailer or hardtop is like a 10K deduct easy.

    98 Marlin Live well Pump

    So my 98 Marlin had a 500GPH live well pump that needs replacement. Any harm/benefit to increasing that to 800 or 1100 GPH The live well worked pretty good with 500, kept about 10-15 big mackerel all day. Would the stronger pump create too much turbulence ?

    OX66 LP Fuel Pumps

    If you've done all those maintenance items, I'd add LP pumps to the list. They are cheap and should be considered a service-item. What's odd here is your fuel burn.... you've not changed props? You aren't taking on water weight ?

    98 Marlin Microwave

    Alas the microwave in my 98 marlin has died. Anybody know a suitable replacement ? It was in fact a microwave sold for boat use. Manufactured in 1997- but probably never took a beating like the past season and a half ... LOL Thanks in advance- worst case scenario i'll us the space for...

    Marlin re-fit/restoration

    I had a Mako CC I bought on Cape Cod that continually took on water, after re plumbing everything, I did a thorough sanding and found a crack in the about the same area. In my case there appeared to be no layup just resin that had cracked long ago. It wasn't such a difficult fix as there is...

    2005 282 Sailfish Moisture Issue

    This is not an uncommon finding on Grady's. I think there is a very thin core used in the sides, likely thinner than the combination of layup on either side. I've had a couple opinions from surveyors on this for boats I was looking at, 1 is doom and gloom the other was "just run it" - in his...

    330 with new 300 Suzukis captivating

    If you were having trouble with the hole shot... why go up in pitch, seems odd. But I suspect those torquey zukes are giving you LIFT that previous motors didn't. Also we'd be assuming you are trimmed all the way down prior to coming up on plane ...

    what 's consider high hours on a motor

    I bought a set of Florida motors and shipped them north last year- 2003's with fairly high hours that were like brand new regarding corrosion. The owner trailered and was clearly a rinsing and maintenance nut. He serviced everything and had pictures of the midsection work. I put 200 hours on...

    When it goes wrong!

    I'd almost bet he had water in his hull that he wasn't aware of. Those conditions were a little sporty but typical for many inlets and shouldn't have posed that much of a challenge. I tend to ease off on the way down and angle slightly into the oncoming to avoid stuffing the bow.....

    Trailer Woes....Uncle!

    So just a hunch because I see this whenever I go to a ramp. It may be that your trailer is backed in too deep when loading. When this happens the bow often doesn't get immediately cradled by the rear rollers or bunks. I generally like the rear roller (or rear of the bunk) to be just at or...
