    preparing to enter market

    ok.. If you are trailering and doing your own maintenance and winterization, then I'd figure about $3k - $4k for maintenance and minor repairs. Storage is highly variable by area, so I can't comment on that... I hope this helps. Good luck...

    preparing to enter market

    "how about maintenance budgeting?" Hi, Welcome to the forum... Lots of variables here: Are you boating year round? How many hours per year are you running? Are you doing the maintenance yourself? Are you asking about maintenance only or are you also asking about repairs? Are you the "open...

    Sailfish 272 with waterlogged foam?

    Glad it turned out to not be water logged foam. Not being a jerk here, but did you not even try to feel along the bottom? Perhaps now might be a good time to do a full strip of the bottom and start with full redo/refresh of the bottom paint. (Yeah, I love spending OPM.)

    307 Freedom

    Hi, I have a 2018 306 Canyon, which I believe is basically the same hull as the 307 Freedom. I have twin 350s, but feel twin 300s would be perfectly fine. I think it is a great hull. There are those who say it pounds, but I haven't experienced that... A dock neighbor has a 307 and seems to be...

    New Yamaha color ?

    Honestly, I think the whole monochromatic color scheme is too much. I like some contrast.

    newbie needs some help with the head on a Freedom 307?

    To lessen how quickly it fills up: men pee over the side & ask the women to NOT flush every time they pee.... also, to lessen the chance of clogging, do not use too much TP and make sure there is plenty of water to soften the TP... (Don't ask me how I know...really, don't ask.. I don't want to...

    360/370 express questions

    The "C Series" 350s should be fine, but still have the flywheel replacement requirement. FWIW" I am at 430 hours and haven't run into the replacement yet. By white water, do you mean fresh water? If so you could always use a bladder or get small water maker.

    newbie needs some help with the head on a Freedom 307?

    "who does that?!" ....I do.. ;) I live my a certain ideal..."Do unto others" (though I am not overly religious) To test whether the vent is clear, you could open the pump-out fitting on the gunnel (yeah, I know gunnel is mis-used), which would allow air to flow into the system. Regarding...

    newbie needs some help with the head on a Freedom 307?

    Hmmm... At this point, I am about out of ideas. However, I would be willing to come to the boat (if it's in Boston/nearby) to take a look,

    newbie needs some help with the head on a Freedom 307?

    I don't think air leaks are the issue, because I don't think it's a "vacuum based" system. I think it is more so gravity fed. I am not 100% sure of this, though.

    newbie needs some help with the head on a Freedom 307?

    There should be a valve (seacock) that gets opened to allow waste water to pass from the tank/boat to the ocean.

    newbie needs some help with the head on a Freedom 307?

    "grady dealer - swears it worked when replaced - I asked them to test it again when I bought the boat and they told me they couldn't actually test it because there was no way to test it and be environmentally correct. losers. tank looks brand new - at least I know they didn't lie about that."...

    Sailfish vs marlin vs older sportfish?

    "I know little to nothing about older Sportfish models." An older sportfish will eat you alive (time &/or money) even if you can do your own maintenance and repairs. However, if you were willing for travel to find a fresh water sportfish, many of the potential issues will have been mitigated...
