Do you run with them in that position ?

15’ Taco’s in Aluminum is what came with the boat. Not enough of a spread for my tastes. Last boat I had 20’s triple rigged. Prior to that we had double spreader 28’ trip rigged on my diesel express. Buddy of mine is using 20’ Taco CF trip rigged and likes those on his 31’ Reg. His are...

I believe it was the first boat on the left as you entered their display.

Might purchase new poles for the Taco hardtop mounted bases. Personally I like one piece solid poles for many reasons. Was contemplating going with 20’ carbon fiber Lees with the built in rollers. I currently have the Taco aluminum collapsible four piece units that came with the boat. Taco does...

Attended the Atlantic City show yesterday. Some beautiful boats to be seen. Love the smell of fresh gel coat and fiberglass… but not so much the sticker prices. GW had a spread there but nothing larger than the 325 Center Console. No express models just mostly DC’s and CC’s nothing that interest...

It could be weeks or more due to the fact the boat I'm looking at is winterized and stored. Survey etc would need to be performed. I won't make the listing official until all is complete with that sale.

750k boat (33 Freedom or express) 350k down payment 400k financed over 15 yr = aprox 40k per yr in payments (mostly interest up front). Add in 10-12 k in slip and storage fees Add insurance 3k and you’re staring down the barrel of 55k annually and you haven’t even turned the key , gassed up or...

My guess is we’ll see those same sticker prices at the Atlantic City show

Holy Moly .... without a doubt those prices would dictate, or give the impression that if you own one in good shape it should fetch a good dollar should you decide to sell. Interest rates ?? Certainly one would think that would have an impact. Geez

There is a possibility I may sell my Marlin based on outcome of purchase of a larger boat. Details of which are fluid at this point in time. So this is a heads up in the event I move into a new venture. It’s a 2007 with twin 250 Yamaha’s 670 hrs aprox. Generator less than 50hrs. Bow Thruster...

Whoops my bad … thought we were talking Marlin. In that case (282) the 250’s would be plenty

I seem to recall the performance numbers with the 350’s were the best , mileage and rpms/speed etc. However they are no longer available. Assuredly the 300’ s will outperform the 250’s somewhat. Just is the added cost worth it ? Maybe

Looks good… I’m onboard with the glass guy suggesting the epoxy filled holes

" If I buy another, I'd make my best deal and then want $10K additional at the end off so I could immediately have the transom redone before it went in the water". My thoughts exactly !! I like the boat too. Cost to correct it would be much less, I suppose if done prior to moisture...

is that Penske board they used or some other ?

That may be as simple as some tabbing giving up

Mostly noticeable in the area between the motors along the the aluminum angle. Instead of a 90 deg angle the aluminum is bulged out (swollen)on the downside

Is it swolt ?

… I knew full well what to expect when going the used route and when the day comes , I’ll suck it up and drop the 10k too, which beats the crap out of the cost of a new boat. Educated buyers should think long and hard before buying a new boat with an inherent flaw such as this. Most...

…. Meanwhile in Greenville NC the scientists at R&D have changed nothing in the transom design other than using a plastic cap vs the aluminum one. Blows my mind
