    Trailer Problems

    Agrees with seasick...fishtailing is probably because your boat is too far back on the trailer...if you look at No Bail's pic his stanchoin is all the way forward...

    Trailer Problems

    I am very familiar with this fun... 1. Most trailers have 4 bolts on that stanchion...if you do not trailer a lot you can just move it forward when out or the water .. 2 move the stanchion forward toward the front..you have just enough weight that is making the trailer flex backward..that may...

    263 vs 273

    Hi, I have a 2002 273 and owned it since new. 2300 hours offshore. This was the first year of the 225 4stroke and I do think they added flotation to handle the weight. The batteries are in the console which I like. I do like the flip up panel and yes, you have to stay on top of the...

    Chase with 250 four strokes

    I have a 2002 with zuke 250s and the boat came with F225. 2002 was the first year of the 4stroke so I am guessing they may have added floatation to handle the weight..I have zero issues.

    GreatGrady think tank question? Outriggers?

    I use them extensively for offshore fishing. I run 2 baits and a teaser off of each...as well as dredges off of each corner..have a center rigger as well....so, 7 rods, 2 teasers and 2 dredges

    GreatGrady think tank question? Outriggers?

    Good idea for sure but I would go 18 if at all possible. I am a huge Rupp fan after having them for 20 years on my boat. They are simple and you can get parts...I am also not a fan of retractables...i can deploy mine instantly and using the povermo method on your halyard makes adjustment a breeze.
