I found them on ebay a while back.

A couple of thoughts here, take them for what ever they are worth. We routinely overnight and weekend on our boat either my wife and I or fishing trips with the guys. If you plan on cruising up and down the coast and/or doing longer extended trips you will want a bigger boat. In my...

Wow

Soak it in laundry detergent and fabric softener.

You will need to take the sender off and run the intake hose for the fuel pump down into the tank, its the only way to empty the tank completely. If the screws are stripped you can either take a Dremel or oscillating tool and square off the screw so you can get a wrench on it or cut a notch and...

Don't bother with the sailfish, just go right to the marlin/305 or 330 express. You didn't mention budget, but that will determine a lot. I would stay away from any "older" sportfish as it will be a money pit. I have a couple of friends that have older tiara 31's that they weekend on a lot...

Also try your local Grady dealer too. Its a long shot, but I did get lucky with a window on my 265 once, as they had the window in stock. I have also used marine glass specialties for a vent window too.

I do it all the time. Just remember to close the seacock when running without the generator on. Not sure why everyone is afraid to run the generators. Guys with big boats run them whenever they are off the dock.

The speakers on my 305 are in the same space above the step with a shorted bolster. I also put a door in the step itself to access the space under the steps for storage.

Looks like the mounting bracket is where the nav light would normally be located. So from the picture it looks like it was relocated or removed.

If the midsections were replaced recently and documented, probably wouldn't worry about it that much. If they never been done, I would save the money from the inspection and just replace the midsections. The more serious corrosion is usually up by the powerhead and will not be seen with...

Swapped out the original lights with these on my 305.

agreed, probably the sender or a least the first place to start. Check and clean the connections first. They are usually under a round deck plate which will eventually leak and cause crud to build up underneath.

I have been using hydrocoat on the bottom of my boats for years. Works very well, and easy to work with. I do the water line, the bow and touch up every year. otherwise, I get a couple years on most of the bottom. I have switched to hydrocoat eco for the engine brackets which has...

I have docked a 265 and a 305 solo in pretty much every slip configuration with both wind and current . This includes both very wide and also very tight transient slips. I cannot think of a single specific time I needed to run up to the bow for anything docking related. I have a bow line...

Do you really want to go through the expense and hassle of stripping the old paint to barrier coat to repaint a 2 year old trailered boat? Its not a 30 year old Hatteras. There are many new boats that leave the dealer without a barrier coat and nothing bad happens. Repaint it, use the...

Are you looking for a winter or storage cover? if so Try PM winter boat covers. I got a carver from them made it through 5 NE winters and still going strong.

Why would a marlin be a lot easier to dock then an express? they are essentially the same boat. I single hand dock my express all the time. Maybe if it was a 360, but a 305 is easy to run solo. Honestly there isn't much difference between the marlin and the 305 express. That being said...

Is the through hull opened? Did you check the strainer, mine will start popping the breaker when the strainer starts getting clogged.

Hi Lou, Saw you message about the seamstress you use and recommend. If you could send me over her information that would be great. I'm local and work in Darien. I have a lady we have used for a variety of sewing needs, however she wont' work on my stamoid enclosure. Thanks, Damian
