Can either of you enlighten me as to where the hidden zincs reside?

In my research for power on my 275 I came to the conclusion that there is no gain between 150's and 200's as the weight increase going to the six cylinder block of the 200's washes out the HP gain. Going to 225's provided an increase equal to the single 350 (not an option for your application)...

I had a 1995 200 HP saltwater series. The last of the normally aspirated outboards. This engine had over 1,500 hours and was flawless. Yes, it sucked down the gas but it never gave me any pause and was easy to work on. Check the gaskets at the power head base for salt. This is a sign of...

HOT off the state legislature taxation press. The state of Massachusetts legislature just passed yet another tax this one will tax the existence of Condo Associations.

True Grace, I have nothing specific to add here but do have a couple of comment. Your real true need for power is generally when things are going bad. My comment is that your final selection here should be driven in part by where you boat. If you have frequently strong current or...

In the people’s republic of Massachusetts we have the following; 6.25% sales tax at purchase. +/- $6,500 Excise tax every year. +/- $1,000 in year one Harbor usage fee every year @ $6/ft. $160 Massachusetts registration every other year. +/- $60 Trailer registration +/- $45 HMS Permit...

You can blame the Feds for this intrusion into your pocket. Make no mistake, I am not defending Massachusetts’s insatiable appetite for our wealth, but this one comes at the hands of the Feds. The deal as I understand it is that the Feds passed legislation ether requiring a salt water license...

I learned the hard way about the black rubber block that is in lower unit. Normally it does not come out but mine fell out during a rebuild and caused the exhaust to port from the lower unit in odd places. The baffle is not shown on the Yamaha parts list and will cause you a crap load of...

Got me, try this review link it may provide some more information. http://www.docksidereports.com/boatrevi ... te_272.htm

Can anyone tell me what they do for fogging a fuel injected engine. I did my F350 today by running the engine and spraying fogging oil into the throttle body air intake. Then I shut it down and pulled all the plugs and sprayed fogging oil into each cylinder. Once the cylinders were sprayed...

beam 8'6" vs 9'-?"

A Remington 1100, five shells (six if you don’t live in Massachusetts) and a comfortable chair!

Congratulations and welcome. Great selection of boat, but I am biased. We are just concluding our second season and like our 275 as much today as the day we took delivery. I’m jealous; I wish we had your boating season up here.

I have a 275 with a single 350 and in the wind it is very very hard to dock. On top of it I have a port side slip backing in so the prevailing wind and the engine rotation are working against me. After an entire summer of fighting with my docking I have learned as many here have said here to...

Gators2000, two comments I did not make and meant to. If you can buy from your local dealer do it. If you buy elsewhere and have a problem you might be SOL particularly if you have a marginal issue with respect to warranty. If your problem requires dealer support and you buy outside of your...

I wraped my last boat once in forteen years and it did more damage to the gel coat in one winter than all the previous winters combined. Lots of sprder cracks appeared. All other years the boat was stored inside in non heated space with a cover.

Gators2000, the 275 for the use you described is a fantastic option. I have a 2008, 275 with an F350, no hard top, 270 hours and have the same use blend. I really like the boat for fishing (mostly saltwater fly fishing some Tuna) and it performs exceptionally during family time. For fishing...

Not sure to what level the dealers would be willing to be involved but Baert owns the MA market north of Boston, has a crap load of boats in the market and might be a good resource for you. If you are interested I can contact them and ask if they would be willing to help promote the concept and...

I would have interest depending on the location, Maine no, NH maybe, Mass yes.

I agree with Nothing Else Matters, you got the boat at a price that was consistent with its value. Yes, I would be BS as well and want to ring the dealer’s neck. However, from bitter experience I have gotten myself all worked up about things like this and in the end wished that I had just let...
