    Waterproofing electrics under stern seats (GW 208)

    Since I have a 209, I will probably have the same issue. Going out on a limb here, but you know that odd shaped board under the stern seat cushion that fits kind of loose to cover the opening to the battery area. Is it possible to attached a rubber gasket all the way around the edge? The gasket...

    209 Escape question

    Food for thought.... I bought a 2004 209 Escape last November. Just checking prices at that time, I was told by our Marina that it had a $20K Trade-In Value and Retailed around $24,800, both without a trailer. Just thinking about the options....Mine had a GPS, Fish Finder, VHF radio, sterio...

    Mounting Speakers

    Locating speakers under the rear seats does subject them to the elements. This is where they were when I bought the boat last November. Gary's location under the gunnel sounds a lot more protected.

    Bottom Paint

    Just bought it and looking forward to enjoying it. I am always looking for good feedback, especially on how to take care of fine things. I have been looking for a GW for while now and finally found the one I wanted at a great price. You're right, buying the boat was the first of many purchases...

    Bottom Paint

    I know that bottom paint is needed if you leave the boat in the water. I was just wondering about Boat Value because I see a lot of boat adds that say ....."and No Bottom Paint!"

    Bottom Paint

    I just recently bought a 2004 209 Escape that is in mint condition and have recently been reading ALOT about GW's. Does bottom paint lower the value of your boat?

    2004 GW 209 Escape Trim Tabs

    Tom, Thanks for that very thorough explanation. That really helps. Everything on a boat is so expensive. Including trim tabs. The R-3 Zincs I saw on the internet are under $10. I think I will go ahead and put on the zincs. Although the boat will be kept on a trailer, I will be leaving the boat...

    2004 GW 209 Escape Trim Tabs

    Would someone mind explaining what a zinc does? I assume it is corrosion related since people seem to agree that zincs are only required if the boat is always/stored in the water.

    2004 GW 209 Escape with Hard T-Top

    Since I'm not getting much response, I started looking into T-Top Extenders. Do they work? Are they worth the 200-400 dollars? Has anyone bought one of these things? It looks like the aft one would hold up...

    2004 GW 209 Escape with Hard T-Top

    2004 GW 209 Escape with Hard T-Top What are my options with Curtains? Do they make a sun cover (not sure about the terminology) that would extend from the back of the T-Top to the back of the boat. Just looking to provide a little more shade for the kids?
