I have the same issue with my personal and business auto policies. When I asked why, I got the following back. The comprehensive portion of your policy will go down with time but the liability portion does not. From my experience with all of my insurances, the rate may not go down with time...

Going over to Baert today, is the boat in?

Thanks, I will try both suggestions when we get rid of all the snow sometime in April, I hope!

OnTheBeach I have the ACR AquaLink. Since there are very limited options for slips in Swampscott and none in Marblehead where do you plan to keep your boat. I am in Beverly Port which up until last year I would not recommend to my worst enemy, but they have put big $$ into cleaning the place...

Get a marine grade, water proof GPS and hand held VHF for a backs up, don't rely on a cell phone. I am not sure about others but my cell phone craps out about 15 miles off shore (type EVO 4G) it also will kill a battery in about an hour once it loses signal looking for the 3G/4G and GPS...

You should have a pretty good list from the group by now and lots of good recommendations. The only thing that I can add it to ALWAYS have spare fuel filters onboard and be sure you can get the old ones off. Many people over tighten them which is ok if your replacing them in your slip but a...

Repower 2007 Gulfstream Yamaha 300 vs 350 I have an F 350 on my 275 Tournament and now have 500 hours on the engine. The engine does not overload the transom, it does not put the scuppers underwater even with a full tank and a loaded boat and it does not plow when backing down any more than...

I have owned both brands and both are great boats, you cannot go wrong with ether. From my experience the fit and finish of the Pursuit is better than the GW. The difference above deck is not much but below deck the difference is significant. Customer service of GW is an order of magnitude...

Congratulation on the new boat, it is a beauty, I saw it at Baert before it shipped out to you. For my cushions I simply stay on top of them with my normal boat soap, the trick being stay on top of them and don't let them get soiled in the first place. I use straight boat soap and a brush at...

Good move on the F350's. I do not know how the 300's will hold up over the long haul, maybe great, but they have some technology in them that has not been proven in a marine environment. The F 350 has so far proven to be very robust. At 500 hours now on mine and not a single issue.

Pez Vala has it dead on, can’t add to it. What I can tell you is that I have a 275 and am off shore 15 - 35 miles on a regular basis. I pick my days, have no issue with calling it at the dock or on the water, pay close attention to the weather forecast and the satellite weather screen and as...

I have owned both brands (not in the size you are considering) and have the following comments: Mercedes vs. BMW, you are not going to go wrong with ether, the differences are in details and what is important for your taste. 1) I would suggest that you look at and try to obtain an...

Re: Grady 305 Performance ??? One other thing to consider. I have seen the same type of drop in numbers on my 275. Under ideal condition in the beginning of the season the boat will hit 49 MPH, by the end of the season 45 MPH is a push. I think that the tide, current and wind conditions...

Baert is a very good organization and Bob is a true professional. It took years but they made a GW guy out of a died in the wool Pursuit owner. By the way Clyde and the service guys deserve recognition as well. When I screwed up this fall and put too much gas in my tank it overflowed on a...

I owned a Pursuit 2150 DC for 13 years and then purchased a GW 275 three years ago so I have a pretty good understanding of both manufacturers and the DC concept. I was very interested in seeing both of these 25-26’ boats when they came out and have looked very closely at both. Frankly, I was...

I had a 1995 Yamaha 200 SWS with 1500 hours on it and it was fine. I checked the compression every year and it held always above factory spec. I was religious about fresh water flushing after every use, using ring free, fogging in the winter and following the maintenance schedule. You should...

I am late to this post and have not read every comment yet, but immediately I look at the deflection in the aluminum I- beams before and after you moved the wheels. Clearly the originally set up was way way too far aft as you can see the reduction in deflection after moving the wheels. I have...

journeyman In response to your question, yes, I paint at the end of the season with ablative paint. I have confirmed with my dealer and the manufacturer of the paint that it is fine to leave it over the winter. If you think about it for a moment many of us try to stretch two seasons out of...

I store mine full but just learned a lesson that will probably cost me $500 or so. I filled mine to the top when the temp was 45deg and when the temp hit 70 the other day fuel spilled out of the vent all over my cover, decal strips lifting it and dissolved the new bottom paint that it hit...

In a word. YUCK.
