    Marlin 300 and Express 305

    Even though the hull's of both boats are the same, they are actually quite different boats. The Marlin is a true walkaround while the 305 is not. The 305 has a center helm with room for 4 to 5 at the helm while the Marlin is not and only has room for 2. The 305 has a bigger cabin, but the Marlin...

    Yamaha Speedometer inlet

    On the bottom of the lower units on the front edge....there will be a small hole on each engine....which is where your boat registers its speed from.

    Ringfree

    My mechanic came and serviced my Yamaha F250's and made the comment that I should start using Ringfree, so I went out and bought some and since the motors already had 150 or so hours on it I did a shock treatment because I had never decarboned the engines before. Well Now I am realizing that the...

    Grady Customer Service

    305 speakers

    Is there anyway to turn the volume off to the speakers in the cabin? While fishing and listening to music those that are in the cabin have a tough time sleeping because the music plays in the cabin as well. It would be nice to be able to only have the cockpit and helm speakers playing and be...

    Florida Boat Tragedy: Question about radio contact off shore

    An EPIRB is 500-1000K that......I hope I never have to use...but in the event that I need it, it is worth a ton more than that!!! It's a rich man's game.....with the amount of money we spend on everything to be out there...it is down right dumb not to have an EPIRB!

    Garmin vs Lowrance vs Raymarine

    If you really want a combo unit go with the Garmin, but I would look at the 4212 rather than 5212 I find it much more user friendly and easy to operate than the touchscreen. Now if you don't mind having 2 sepereate units....go with the Garmin for plotter and Furuno for sounder and radar.....it's...

    dumb question

    I much rather sleep in the aft berth but if I do sleep on the v berth it is usually head to aft. I usually have trouble sleeping on the v berth but now that you guys are talking about it, it could be the feet above the head problem, next time out I'm going to give the head to bow thing a try!

    New York Boat SHow & New Grady's

    I see you guys are talking about the slashed prices....we ordered our 08' 305 Express w/F250's in Nov 07' and paid quite a bit less than the price that was posted as the "slash" price as stated earlier in this post and this included about 15K worth of electronics and 2-3k in misc. stuff that...

    All New Electronics Package ?

    JIT said it all..... Gatmin=best plotter Furuno=best radar and sounder However if you have your heart set on a single combo unit.....and are not overly worried about a great sounder, I would go with the Garmin. If you can fit it, I would go with the 4210 or 4212....I'm just not a big fan...
