KS, One question. How much scope do you have on your setup? I am thinking about 2X water depth of chain to the ball and then anothe 10-15ft of rode to the boat. We are in open water with no boats around so it doesn't matter the radius. that would give me about 3:1 scope at max high water...

Been looking hard at the Helix, looks like the best fit for me. Hope to install this weekend! Thanks!

Thank you guys! Very helpful. Enjoy the holiday weekend!

Brian, I assume you simply screwed the bracket in to the door after drilling some pilotholes? I have the same kidde model with the bracket it came with. Any strength issues with the bracket? Thx

Did you use the mount that comes with the extinguisher or another? THX

Wondering if anyone can give some info on what type of mooring would work best for me. Located on Cape Cod Bay, near PTown. Sand bottom, exposed to SW and NW winds from across the bay, can get 3-5' seas. Prevailing strong winds are SW/NE (protected) and NW. Want the ability to moor a 30'...

Hey Parthery, Not sure I follow. Is it horizontal? Pix would be great if you get a chance. Thx...

I have kept my extinguisher in a box in the console, but trying to think of where to mount it to save space. Mine is a 99, I see newer models actually have an indent in the console on the starboard side for this. Anyone mount one on the inside of the console door? If so how? Thanks!

For me the question is really about new vs. used. I am planning to make a significant jump in the coming year or two into a Marlin class boat. But with so many later models on the used market, I don't see how I could justify going new. I just don't see the value.

Hey guys, Not sure how i got this, but I have about a 10inch long by 1" wide gouge in the gel coat on my 180. Its almost like someone took a flathead screw driver and scraped... Its just below the rub rail near the bow. Any ideas for a good person to fix this near me on the South Shore? I...

Nice work. Let us know how she runs...

Mega, I agree that both have pros and cons and I tend to agree with your assessment. Going back to the NE show today with the admiral and crew, its a shame no GW cabin models to compare witht he 315 and 345. I think the 315 Pursuit actually competes more closely with the 305 Express than...

I went yesterday and found the show somewhat depressing. Not much to see with notable missing brands like Everglades, Scout, Southport, Carolina Classic, and more. Very small show. Not much to compare. I thought the GW display was lacking. The only cabin model over 25 feet was the...

I'll probably go twice, once with kids once for me... Hopefully they'll have the new 230....

Hey Mike, I assume you run out of Green Harbor? I run a 180 out of the N River and am beginning to look at the Marlin for the next step. I also will be solo quite often, love to hear how you like it as you get some experience with her. Good luck with the thruster.

I think its a new hull. The profile of the liner to hull connection is not the same as the 232.

I have a 99 with a 130HP SWS 2S. To me its a great match. Plenty of speed and power without the weight of the 4S. There is no reason the hull should not be in great condition and should meet all of your needs. I think a 100HP will be greatly underpowered, but try it and see. One of the...

Is there a club in SE Mass/South Shore? North Shore is too far for me...

So sorry to hear you will have to "settle" for the Marlin! To me, that is the #1 boat in the lineup... Enjoy!

Beautiful. You will love her! That is quite the fleet....
