    180 Sportsman - F150 question

    Thanks! I looked at the Yamaha website and figured they were the same. Yamaha only showed the 150 HPDI unless I selected the wrong tab. 48 mph, alright! I might hit 40 now with my Islander now that I upgraded to a Suzuki 300.

    Nextrail trailers?

    I think galvanized is cheaper but aluminum lasts longer in the salt, hence the greater propensity to see them here in FL.

    Nextrail trailers?

    What are you towing with? That's a lot of extra weight to be dragging around. I need to go with an aluminum bunk for my Islander since it will save 800 lbs on towing capacity. For the 180 Sportsman, it keeps me under the limit on the Murano and under the limit for which FL requires brakes.

    180 Sportsman - F150 question

    Just finishing up my boat and need to make sure I have the right prop as the engine was on a different boat, though about the same weight. I'll check the pitch but its a black Yamaha SS prop. Anyone have an F150 on a Sportsman? If so, what pitch prop do you have? Thanks Greg

    Dan will be starting it tomorrow, said it should be done by Friday. He worked on my Islander for 5 years until I repowered with the Suzuki 300, then I brought it to NC.

    Removing locks on underseat storage boxes??

    Might be a code on them that you can call either a locksmith or the MFG and have a key sent.

    Nextrail trailers?

    Combination of quality and price, Steve made sure I had the options I needed and would making towing easier - SS hardware, guides, front bunks. Continental trailers were slightly more and Float On well above on pricing.

    My new ride

    Thanks, worked a good deal for the F150 and my son really hates 2-stroke smoke so if this gets him out more then great. I put a Suzuki 300 on the Islander last year and it was enjoyed a lot more. Probably won't be done next weekend so it will probably be sometime the following week before I...

    It was a distress sale, so it was well below NADA. Engine is good, just wanted a 4 stroke and with a little horse trading, the upgrade to a used F150 with warranty will be around $2k.

    Yep, I'll only run through the shortcut to OI if I'm following a big sportfisher the first time then I leave the track in my GPS for subsequent trips. Same routine every year. For this year, I think I'll drag the Sportsman around FL - Keys, west coast, etc. then next year swap out and have the...

    Thanks. Trying to decide whether to bring it north to Manteo or keep it here in FL. I have my Islander up there already.
