I've been playing with the winch support on my trailer adjusting the tongue weight. Overall weight, with trailer and full fuel tank, is 11,500#. Tongue weight started at 740# and she was way back on the trailer. I've moved the winch post up once Put it back in the water and moved the winch...

Just got my new boat delivered from Florida today. I'm not sure if I should tow her with the curtains on or off. It rains quite a bit out here and I'd rather have the helm dry when I get to the ramp. I'll be traveling 50-130 miles each way and at highway speeds. 2007 282

Sounds pretty straight forward. I did quite a bit of car audio growing up and always tried to avoid running the power wires along the RCAs. Is there an issue with bleeding/interference in the RADAR sugnal if I run any power lines along the signal line (including feedback from the VHF)?

The boat will be here late next week and the Garmin 18HD will already be here. That will be going on first, then the autopilot. I'm wondering if the front of the hardtop is properly slanted for a direct install, or if I need to use a mount or wedge up there for the proper downward angle...

And they came with a 2007 282 :) Boat was in terrific shape, just a nic on the gel coat just below the rub rail midship on the port. The report for the twin F250s showed compression between 215 and 220 in all cylinders , with 3-8% leakage. No hours above 5k rpm and about 30 below 1k...

Boat is in Pensacola. Trying to line up a surveyor for Saturday.

Cool. I will contact them. I'm 5'11", but don't need to be on my toes trying to moves rods when the bite is hot. We have some pretty WO albacore action here and I hate losing valuable live bait time screwing around with rods. :)

I decided to head out. Being there in person will help me learn the boat as well as any little issues first hand. It's used. I don't expect perfection. Price is very good too. It's also piece of mind like most mentioned. Spending a little more now could save lots more later. But, I...

I think I found her. 2007 282. She needs radar and rocker launchers for the hardtop. Looks like most have 6 launchers up top. Where is generally the best place to buy a launcher to fit, or do most folks just go custom?

Hello Folks, Brand new here and new to glass boats. had a pretty nice jet boat that was great in 4-5" of water, but not so good for 5,000' . Sold that with the intention of getting something that'll comfortably allow me to chase tuna and halibut offshore in the Pac NW. I have a 2007...
