    Generator access plate 2006 330 Express

    The gasket material is something I saw in a surplus store. It is round with a sticking backing. Sorry not much of a description. I like the other suggestgion about using the wax paper. Sounds like it would work well also.

    Generator access plate 2006 330 Express

    I have a 03 330 and feel your pain about the access plate. I no longer caulk my mine. I use a gasket material that fits around the access hatch. I dont even screw it down it fits pretty tight.This has worked verry well the last couple of years. I havn't had any problems with leaks or any other...

    330 or 360 Hardtop- Enclosure

    To the one's who have the new Hardtop Enclosure on the 330 or 360. What do you like or dont like about it? I'm in Florida I worry that it would be too hot even with the AC. It sure looks like it would be easier for up keep instead of the curtains.

    The props are Mercury Revolution that were repitched form 17" down to 15" pitch. These are the same ones I had on the F225's. I haven't even tried my 3 blade props. I just have them for spares. So I dont know even know what they will do.

    4 blade props for 330 express ?

    I run Mercury Revolution 4 blades on my 33 express. They are great props. In rough and following seas there is no cavitation. I run my boat with a heavy load most of the time. This past year I repowered to the new F300's from the F225's. It was like getting a new boat. My top speed with the...

    330 w/F250s (enough power)?

    I had F225's on my 330 and it ran just fine. It would run all day at 28 to 30 MPH with full load. Top speed 35. I have friends that have 250's on theirs and when we run side by side on trips I got better fuel economy with the 225's. Top speed was the same. The 33 is a great boat. You will love...

    outboards not all the way out ?

    I think the new F 300's are about 40 lbs lighter per motor! I cant belive the difference in power over the F225's. The mid range acceleration is fantastic.

    Trip Report...my first crossing to the Abacos

    Bob.... Glad you could make the trip with us over to the Abaco's. We had a great time with all there. I enjoy planning and helping people make the crossing for the first time. Now that you went you see that it is a nice easy trip. Brigatine Bay Villas are a great place to stay while in...

    Anybody repowered their 33 with the F 300's

    Thanks for the reply. I have a couple of questions. What size prop do you use? What mounting hole are they on? Speed? WOT RPM . My motors arived Friday and are sitting in a box next to the boat. Maybe by the end of the week the shop can get to them to install.

    Starboard or wood?

    Starboard is about the same weight as wood. It has been around for a while. Most new boat builders use it. Weight difference is not enough to use more fuel.

    Abacos Trip suggestions

    Bob......We have made the trip many times to the Abacos. We depart West Palm Beach and clear customs in West End. I like clearing in West End because we usually have guests that this is their first trip across. This gives them a break before we resume the rest of the trip to Treasure Cay. It is...

    275 Hardtop - remove and replace with bimini

    I have seen a guy that has a simular problem. He had his top so it would lay down to get under a bridge when he had to. Then put it back up when gone thru. It proably would be cheaper than getting a new bimini and canvas. Many boats have towers that fold back to trailer. Just a idea??
