I had the same problem with my single Yamaha 300 and my Raymarine unit. When restarting the engine the unit had to reboot. It didn’t do it ever time but it was a real hassle when in shallow water in the bay and would lose the depth finder. I replaced the four year old batteries last year and...

Thanks for the input. It does come with a trailer but it hasn’t been used for awhile so not sure about the condition. I will ask the owner for some more details so maybe can nail down a value a little better. Thanks again.

I was at an Easter Gathering yesterday and was talking to my sister in laws brother who has his late father’s 2001 22’ Seafarer with tho original 200 Yamaha on it. He is looking to sell it and downsize to maybe an 18’ bay boat. I was on the boat a few times over the years with his late father...

I’m not 100% sure but isn’t the hull the same on the Canyon 271 and the Freedom 275 Dual Console? I know the hull is the same on my Fisherman 236 and the Freedom 235. The dual console with the hardtop seems more conducive to canvas than a center console in my opinion. Good luck, I know picking...

Those backrests can be folded back. The table can be removed. The cushions can be removed. Don’t hold me to it, but I think the front center panel can be folded up to get closer to the bow (at least it can on my Fisherman 236). There is also a filler panel that can be placed between the bow...

I agree with Hookup, a crowded boat always attracts the CG or the State Police. Make sure everything is up to date and the Captain isn’t partying to much at the sandbar.

Trailering weight charts are fine if you are towing a camper or a utility trailer, but a boat is a little different. I would worry more about the lack of 4 wheel drive. A slippery boat ramp is chore for even 4 wheel drive trucks let alone a 2 wheel drive that is close to its capacity. I’ve seen...

The weight difference is 242 pounds. Get the engines and leave a fat guy at home when you go out.

Sounds like this would be Grady’s problem. Wouldn’t this be a warranty issue?

I pay around $800 a year through State Farm. I have my auto insurance (4 cars) and my homeowners through them also, so I think I get a pretty good discount because of it. Maybe try the company you have your car and/or homeowners with?

I was on a 23’ Parker at the Atlantic City Boat Show a few weeks ago and also noted the short gunnels. The thing that really surprised me though was the lack of under deck storage and/or fish boxes in the deck. The same style boat in the Northstar seemed to have a much better layout.

I’m really lucky, I’m a half mile to the inlet and a three mile run to the Townsend Inlet Reef. The bay fishing I do is all within 2 or 3 miles from my marina. The party sandbar is maybe 1000 yards from the marina also. I do feel for you guys though.

I subscribe to this YouTube channel “Jigging Jerks” and he just had a video about the NY regulations.

My boat doesn’t go in until the first week of May and it has a full tank of 110 gallons. Hopefully that should last until well into June and maybe by then the prices will have come down. Trying to stay on the glass half full way of thinking.

I did not wish this becoming a political argument on this site. I just wanted to point out that the federal government made $4 billion on leases on wind farms off of NJ. I wanted to make the point that this money could be reinvested in clean renewable energy without spreading the cost to the...

More drilling permits have been granted under this administration than the last. Maybe the oil companies have once again taken advantage of a global situation to obtain record profits. Why aren’t the Saudi’s opening up the tap? Because why would they when they can get $100 a barrel now. In my...

Does it come with Homer Simpson to run it?

Thanks for the video, I have a Fisherman 236. I haven’t had any of those bigger issues but the screws do back out on my windshield and I will be using his trick to fix them.

A recent sale of the rights for wind turbines off the coast of New Jersey went for more than 4 billion dollars. Energy companies must see this as a viable source of future energy to make that kind of investment. The federal government now has that $4 billion to invest in renewable energy sources...

Looks great. Enjoy!
