    271 Canyon Rod Holde Setup for Tuna Trolling

    Plenty of room to fit another in. Zero is the way to go.

    Bought the 258, which engines for upgrade?

    I'd price them all including Yamaha. I'd lean toward twins if you can swing it.

    I like the center helm elimination. Same 330 hull, layout change looks nice, add a foot to the model (although not really there) and charge a bunch more. Seems like the standard play.

    ACR beacon question

    I did my plb a couple of times. It's only a back up for me behind an EPIRB. The latter is done by the pros for what I'd say is a steep price. The PLB no issues doing it myself.

    Can someone tell me what this is?

    Yep. If you don't have a fix, it could be the problem. Fairly inexpensive as boat things go to replace and eliminate the receiver.

    258 Journey vs 228 Seafarer, for the windy west coast?

    Bigger is better if you can swing it.

    Need input on quality fishing tools

    I like the Danco pliers when they are on sale. They are decent and don't break the bank. When they get old, toss and buy more.

    Repower or Upgrade?

    I think I'd get some prices for the repower as well as look at the used larger boats and determine the spread. 1300H on the hull really isn't much and for that matter on the engines either. Comes down to cost delta, affordability for you, how much do you use the boat and do the extra features...

    Helm seats

    50/50 cost issue for sure. The right new seat does wonders if you can swing it. Check out Llebroc.

    Transom Construction

    GW made stepped hulls in the 1990s as I recall. On at least one model they extended it back to the transom.

    bow window out of alignment on 2018 freedom 307.

    Yea, still seems fishy to me...

    What kind of hours do you rack-up?

    100 hrs is typical the past few years, sometimes a tad less. I find the long days on the sand bar these days really has cut it back.

    Marlin 300 Rod Holders Up Front

    Water will go into the bilge or worse cabin. Rail mounted is the way to go. You will find you don't use them much up there. Keep the space for spinners.

    advice for first winter in PNW

    Treat the gas and the water and head systems. If you can, get to the boat every couple of weeks if you have a battery charger and charge. Alternatively, you can charge the batteries, disconnect and leave on the boat or pull and charge at home. Maybe consider shrinkwrapping in the water if it...

    Marine Air heat on 330 express

    It works ok on heat, you're not going to get blasting heat but it will slowly raise the temp in the cabin. I have a small electric heater that works fine for the few times I need it as the cabins really are not large areas.

    Snap Unfastener

    These are the ticket. The plastic GW ones lose their effectiveness as they wear.
