I ran our 8,000 BTU off our 10 year old honda 2000 the other day with no issues, this was also with the 40 amp battery charger on. I am guessing that it was pulling in the vicinity of 8-10 amps, well within the honda 2000 capacity. The new 2200 would be the way to go...

Just a thought as I am in the same boat with my FP 4K diesel... Look at the Nextgen 3.5 kw ignition protected diesel. I think it will fit, is less than 7K new, and commercial guys are running these models for over 10k hours. It’s a little Kubada that spins at 2800 rpm. I spoke to the...

Did you figure the props out? I am interested in your performance with the duke 300s.

Update.... As predicted... Low compression (150 psi). So I gona pull the generator out.... It was literally just rebuilt by Yacht Power Products in St. Petersburg prior to me closing on the boat in September... I have an email out to them, hoping they will cover the repair under warranty, I...

Ha! I am dreading the generator removal. I may speed up the trailer acquisition and just drive the entire rig north and have them work on it in the boat.... I got to be honest. I have already started contemplating designing a custom fiberglass box for the port side of the transom, which...

Update... I got home around midnight last night... Got up early and dug into the generator... Ugly battle... I lost... I tested the relays, fuel pump, fuel solenoid, adjusted the valves (they were ok), pulled the injector, turned it over with the injector out (it misted nice diesel), removed...

If I don’t just get a yard trailer to pull her every 6 weeks or so, I am going to go with the Amera Trail. Loadmaster was about a 12k quote (I had one built for my Parker, great trailer) but the Amera Trail is heads and shoulder above the Loadmaster. Their quote is 15k. Worth it for me...

Thanks for the advice! I have only been running with the AC, but may need to also run the water heater. It will of course be cooling off into the 80’s here in the FL keys soon :). You have the Kubata diesel in yours, mine is the Farymann diesel. By most accounts I have read, the model I have...

Thanks for the info. I will start by checking the fuel shutoff relay. Hopefully it is a simple fix. I will update my efforts.

That is a fish!!!!

This trip is sooo awesome!!! Thanks for taking the time to post it.

Thanks guys! Skunkboat, you are correct.... for the north ;)..... I wish we had true BFT here, my buddy just caught a big blue fin tuna off long island.... on my bucket list!!!! You can get into YFT (Yellow fin tuna) in the outer Bahamas... Hopefully this year I can post some pics of that...

So we took Sea La Vie out for her first fishing trip this weekend to the Islamorada Humps to target black fin tuna (BFT), then hit up the Whale Harbor sandbar. Fishing was ok... caught a few small BFT, nothing to write home about, small tuna tastes as good as big tuna :)..... The sandbar was...

Mine is also under the aft berth.

Yes it is the 6.7. I actually own 2 of them (08 2wd short bed and an 08 4x4 cab and chassis). Yes stupid little crap has broken, I preferred my ford body and truck, minus the engine... My daily driver is the cab and chassis with the Aisin tranny.... all of the dpf/exhaust regen stuff magically...

Great looking rig! My 08 Dodge 3500 Cummins has 230,000 still going strong and my daily driver :).

No worries. Let us know how it goes. If I was crossing state lines I would hire one of those firms to gather all the paperwork as I know Florida is pretty lax with boats. But other states may not be..... If I beat u to ordering a trailer from Ameritrail they will have a current Marlin jig...

I have noticed that my 04 Marlin gets rain water from the Genny access panel. I believe they updated this (I am sure you guys can tell me when) in later years, however mine has a gasket and screws.... Seems to leak water around that gasket since there are no screws in the deck panel for easy...

What an awesome adventure!!!!!!!!! Keep those pics coming so I can convince my wife to do this next summer!

great info gents! Thanks!
