hpdi is quieter, cleaner, and better on fuel and oil. They are the next best thing to a 4-stroke, some like them better, and they do accellerate quicker. If you have the $$ you would be much happier, 'specially with a 5-year newer motor. That's low hours, but make sure all the service is up to...

Yes, pumps and plumbing is easy to install. The first step is a nice bronze thru-hull with a gate valve. You can browse all the parts you could ever need here, and lots of info on setting up baitwells: http://www.livebaitlarry.com

Hmmm...since no one responded, I thought I would try and help. What are 'sliders'? I've never heard the term associated with a bimini top. Are you referring to the strap adjusters? BTW, all the hardware you could ever want for tops is here: http://www.sailrite.com

The only way to make any of them 'jam' is to install an amp. If you have 40-50 watts per channel you can get by with an amped sub since the speakers will put out quite a bit of sound from the deck. And the only way to get any kind of depth and low-range response is with an amped sub. I did a...

or www.photobucket.com It just needs to be something you can set for public viewing access, then post the URL with the Img (image) tool in the menu of the reply window. Some forums have enough server space and bandwidth to host member images, many do not. It's always a money issue, if there...

Man that sucks. From time to time I have pondered what would happen if somebody rear-ended my outboard sticking out there.

Amsoil in mine at 65 hours, now at 310. Lots of trolling and harbor cruising, does not make oil. Annual OCI, 80-100 hours. Not much difference in cost vs. yamalube. Since I have Amsoil in everything I own I don't question it, I just order out what I need and put it in. In every oil test...

Happy Holidays from the Browns!

Re: Powder I'm impressed. I'm an old painter from waaaay back as well. Since the '70's in fact. About powder coating, that is absolutely true, and when I was doing vintage restorations on bikes I did not use powder coating for this reason. With paint you can always sand it down and re-shoot...

Re: Names on the HULL side Maybe guides instead of boards? My graphics are 'bus-wrap' vinyl. They've been on there for three years now. Only damaged one, reprinted the damaged section and replaced. At about 5 years will reprint the whole thing and reapply.

Use boat trailer tie-down straps, get them at your favorite marine supply, or online at overtons, west marine, etc. Use one on the bow too. Not sure what'cha meant by cable and chain. Yes, most winch posts have a safety chain, hook it to the bow-eye, but rig a tie-down strap too to keep...

You've posted this same query three different times, here are the other two: http://www.greatgrady.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11725 http://www.greatgrady.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11634 Pretty much the same questions and answers every time... Looks like a trip to a boat show this winter...

Wishing everyone a safe and happy holiday!

Bennetts are an easy install on your boat if you're handy, and yeah, about $500 for a kit. They make a nice product that works very well. Todd Bennett hosts a section on THT if you want to browse. I keep telling people to try the PERMATRIM first if you're just looking for bow trim. I have...

I was gonna say, he probably bought the boat from a failed dealer, or a flooring bank, or whatever, at about 40% off MSRP. If that's the case they have about $96K in it. Add 10% for profit and that would probably buy it. If the boat hasn't sat out the whole time and is still like new, that...

Maybe it's not rust... :twisted:

Re: Rust Issue Creeps up again 2007 205 Tourney Good luck with that...let us know how that works out for you. :wink: Stainless steel is not rust-proof. If you keep the boat in saltwater and have a damp climate it is not unusual to get some rusting. Apply a good metal protectant, keep...

Ha Ha...'white-trash rant'... that's a good one. Yes, the prop chatter. I had forgotten about that. Mine would chatter with a stainless prop so went back to a factory aluminum and she purrs. Oh yeah, the trim position cam, replaced with the updated metal one - $8. I have no complaints...

Me too. It's a relief. I don't have a dealer, I bought from a private party and the engine was brand new, in fact it had only been test run, but had not been out on the water yet. And I don't have a dealer because I do everything myself. Here I am at 310 hours and the boat has never been to...
