    Suzuki 1998 DT200

    Suzuki outbaord I have a tournament 190 with a 1999 Suzuki DT 140. I believe the lower units are the same as the DT 200. So far the motor has been great, I will say that at some point I would like to have a 4 stroke as they are much quieter, but I have not had any problems with mine...

    Older Gel Coat

    Older Gelcoat I used the three 3M products shown in the earlier post on my 1985 tournament 190. I spent most of today applying the rubbing compound then the Finess it II then the paste wax. I bought the boat last year and it is in good shape but, very chalked. In fact where the sticker had...

    3M products Who carries the 3M products? Do you have to go to a marine store or do any other stores carry them ? I have looked in WalMart and Advanced Auto with no luck. Thanks T

    Back to back seat install

    I just got my new seats. On the port side I am changing out the captain chair of my Grady White Tournament 19 with a back to back seat. I bought the Seats from Veada since they offered a higher base and I am happy with the quality. My question is, what is the best way to install the base ? I...

    Transduce compatibility

    Thanks Don`t know if the current cable or connection is specific to humminbird or generic. Could be an easy hook-up I`ll probably get a chance to check it out later this week. Hopefully, it matches up. I also went to the Airmar site. Very helpful and a lot of good information. T

    Transduce compatibility

    My dad just gave me a Garmin 420 S GPS/Depth Finder Combo for my birthday. Unfortunately he bought it without the transducer. I currently have a humminbird depth finder and I believe the transducer is an in hull type since it is not visible on the transom or hull. I plan to check all of this...

    Engines Down I thought it was better to travel with engines down. They look awfully close to the ground. On my boat, I can't get a transom saver device to fit so I always put the engine down. What really is best ? I have a Tournament 190 with a 140 Suzuki. Should I make a custom transom...

    Going off shore or near shore

    Well, we had 6 people, one was the Captain and I did not fish as much since I wanted the boys to do the catching. But at any given time 2-3 people were not fishing so it was not as crowded. I agree, if I went out I would limit the number of people. We were trolling with 4 rods with planers...

    Going off shore or near shore

    I recently got involved in a thread on a North Carolina Fishing site regarding goin off shore in a small boat. It was great to see all of the input. I took my 2 boys and 2 of thier friends out on a charter last year. The captain had a 20 ft Mako. I thought we would stay in the intra coastal...
