    Two 150s or One 250 on Center Console

    Yeah. I'm loving the twins, but started having second thoughts when I realized that the additional weight is considerable.

    Two 150s or One 250 on Center Console

    Looking for a boat for the Florida Keys. Looking at the 257 Advance. I can afford one circa 2005 vintage. I have a Marlin now, which I will keep in Montauk. Question is the 2 vs.1 motor question. I am seeing boats with two 150s or one 250. Yes, I'd like to have two engines in case one goes...

    What do you guys think of this 185 to purchase?

    I bought a 1984 tournament with a 1996 200 Yamaha seven years ago in Ct for 10G. It came with a trailer. My girlfriend has an island on Kwagama Lake near Dorset, Ontario. I trailered the boat up there to use on the lake. The boat is still going strong and is perfect for that lake. I think...

    life raft

    I have a Winslow offshore ultra light made by a great company. It's light enough that it is manageable without killing yourself and it is a very highly rated raft. It was three years old but never on a boat. I had it recertified by Winslow. They paid for pick up charge. It saved me 1,000...

    190 bow rider vs 20 overnighter

    My tournament with the bimini top gives plenty of protection, especially with front flaps down. But if you want a small cabin, the Overnighter is the way to go. My tournament weighs about 4500. Not sure about the weight of the Overnighter. But should be easy to find.

    190 bow rider vs 20 overnighter

    I have a 185 tournament with a 200 Yamaha. It flies. A 130 will be fine on the 190, but not sure how fast you need to go or where you boat. The bigger motor will get you through rough water a lot better. In changing out the motors you will need to check with whoever is doing the work what...

    Need to replace fridge on 1992 Marlin

    I have to replace my Norcold Tek II refrigerator on my 92 Marlin. Anyone know of a contemporary replacement that will fit. I'm thinking it might be the Norcold DE 0751. Thanks.

    west system epoxy as a wood finish

    I would seal it with three coats of CPES. Then use two part perfection plus. I did this on my newly built mahogany swim platform on my trawler. You can't believe how hard and beautiful this finish is. Shines like glass and brings out the color of the mahogany.

    Thinking about a upgrade to a Grady..Thoughts, Opinions??

    Re: Thinking about a upgrade to a Grady..Thoughts, Opinions? Gulfstream is nice. Too small to stay on. But to fish on and take the family for a short trip - great. If you want to trailer and also have some amenities, think of an Islander with shore power and twin 150s. If you want comfort...

    F250's on my '92 Marlin Fuel Burn

    Just put on two 2006 F250s with 200 hours on my 92 Marlin. Replaced the OX 66s. I'm interested in the fuel burn on similar set-ups. I haven't really had to chance to get out, but I took it for a quick spin and what a difference. Thanks in advance for any feedback.

    2004 F225s on Marlin?

    I am being offered pair of F225s with 400 -500 hrs for my 1992 Marlin. Price is okay installed by dealer. Haven't asked about guarantee yet. My question is that I have heard that there is a big difference in the power of the 225s as opposed to the F250s. These engines are coming off a 330...
