I got mine through the local Boaters World store. They had to order it, but it ships direct to your home. I had mine in about a week after I ordered it.

Seafoam works great.

My first day on the water is always the first Saturday of May. This year was no different. But due to the weather the past couple weekends, I haven't been out since. Heading up to Erie tomorrow though. I know what you mean about little league. Between my two Sons, I have games almost every night...

I have mixed feelings. On one hand, I say screw it, you only go around once and boating / fishing is one of my favorite activities and I don't get to go alot as it is. On the other hand, when I stop and think about the price of gas, I wonder whether or not I should put the boat up for sale. One...

Greg, I installed a set of bennetts on a Hydra Sports back about 5 yrs ago. From what I recall, the hydraulic line threads into the top of the actuator and you'd have to remove the top of the actuator from the transom to get to where the line threads in. Surely there will be enough slack in...

As others have said, no specified angle. At least none that I know of. But, something to consider. When your towing the boat out of a driveway or parking lot that drops down onto (is higher than) the road, the skeg needs be high enough so that it will not contact the ground once the trailer...

I wasn't sure if I had the #541 on mine, but looking into it further, I found there are other models that the lock fits into as well. Not just the #541. According to what I could find, it fits these models: 0540, 0541, 0580, 0581, 0582, 0583, 0590, 0591, 1318, 1319. You might want to contact...

Sounds like you got that info from a "dealer". I'm only saying that because the bozo at the Grady dealership I bought boat from told me the same thing. Turns out however that he was not familiar with the product he sells. Because according to the Yamaha owner's manual, you are NOT supposed to...

I don't know about your boat, but the screws holding the top mounts on my swim platform appear to be just wood screws, not through bolted. I never noticed this before until just recently when I was climbing up into the boat while it sat on the trailer in my driveway. I saw the screws and thought...

The robotic chopped glass gun machines is part of Sea Ray's process for containing styrene emmissions. The robots shoot the glass into the mold and the mold is in a enclosed room. I don't necessarily think it makes for a quality improvement, afterall it is chopped glass. I think their goal is...

Bobp, Sea Ray (the company that is using robots to shoot glass into the molds) is owned by Brunswick. So they proabably do have the financial backing to make big changes in their production techniques. There was an article in Trailer Boats magazine which showed how they're using robots in...

Bobp, Robots are being used in boat construction. Look into Sea Ray. They are using robots to spray the chopped glass into molds. As for everyone saying composites are more expensive, please explain the price of Proline boats (the 20 ft sport is frequently on special for $22,000) and Hydra...

I can't say the protect all will last along time. I only actually do my rub rail once a year in the spring. You may find you'll need to apply it once a month or so. But it is so quick and easy to apply, you won't care. Like I mentioned before, spray on, wipe off. That's it. It's by far the best...

I use a product called "Protect All". http://www.protectall.com/pawaxlg.htm I use the aerosol can. It makes the rub rail on my Grady shine like brand new. Spray it on, wipe it off.

Do you mean 1" (thickness), 4 ' by 8 ' ? If so, what did that cost? Starboard's expensive.

I agree that it would be easy to make. And a router puts a very nice edge on starboard. My question is, where do you get a long enough piece of starboard to make the tow rail? Just thought I'd ask in case one of mine ever breaks.

I 2nd spectrum color. On a newer boat, one that the gel coat has yet to fade, you can do a repair that will turn out so well, it will be undetectable. Even by yourself. I have heard that with older boats that are faded, the repair can be noticed because of the difference in color and shine...

Hope you find everything is ok when you remove the trim strip. I definately think that would be a good idea to glass it over. In the event that water did get into your transom, the wood should still be intact provided the Greenwood product does what it's supposed to do. And in the event there is...

I wouldn't even consider trailering that rig on passenger tires. If you bought that trailer new, take it back and insist they replace the tires with trailer tires.

Just a couple things to supplement Tuna Man's list. Stabilize the fuel. Be sure to run the engine for a short period of time so the stabilized fuel makes it's way throughout the entire fuel system. I ussually start adding stabilizer to my fuel tank towards the end of the season because I...
