I use rubber plugs as well...

Max HP, period...no skimping or you will regret it...not worth it.

7 people these days is like 11 people 25 years ago....underpowered as well..

Not a fan of retractable myself. Rupp and Lee are the best. I use the povermo method to manage halyards and tension with pararcord and not mono. Blacks clips are on every sportfish it seems.

Plexus

I will buy from Lee's directly

You know...tricky...I saw those as well. I would buy them from west marine or tackle direct. Those green deeres at home depot are not a real john deere

No way I buy stuff that needs to be high quality from Amazon or ebay...rolling the dice...

GE here as well..have not had issues with mold at all.

Based on what I am seeing everyone is using the Rhodan and minkota...no lithium but 3 batteries...Garmin autopilot..

I have had a 273 Chase for 21 years... Do not get too enamored with beam..I think the 271 is 9 6 and the 306 is 10 7. There is a reason some of the top tier boats do not have that 11 beam until you hit 34 feet...if you do not plan to do any offshore stuff no issues. Test drive them both in...

I did this in 2019 on my 273 chase with mechanical. Was not worth 5g for fly by wire and no regrets. 500 hours now. I did go from a 19p to 23p prop and that was perfect. Great motors and zero complaints.

Like someone said, all about tounge weight, also the trailer will flex more the further back you go so loading will get more interesting. Do not move it so far back to make the trailer flex up.

That is a lot of beam for a 30 footer...beam to length ratio is very important..there is a reason a lot of Cc do not hit that number until at least 32

Was not worth 5k for AP in 2019

I just do not understand the collapsible thing...for another day...I went with 18 foot aluminum Rupp and like them much better than 15...I can remove mine in 2 min and they are not hard to store....faster to wipe down as well...the povermo method of adjusting halyard tension simply works the...

Nice work!!!

exact thing I worry about with fancy tech...we are overboard at this point...I will take my cables and seastar....flawless 21 years... r

I replaced that latch several times..decided to pit a bolt through it with a lock nut...been that way 10 years...just do not sit on it:)

I have the Garmin on my 273 Chase and love it with twin 250 zukes....I am not sure that second pump is necessary...SeaStar is great and reliable. I also bought a rebuilt Seastar from boatsteer as well...all good. r
