Dealer cost is 40% off MSRP (a 66.666% markup). There are additional discounts for early seasons orders which peak at somewhere around 7% of the invoice. IIRC the motors are not included in the additional discounts. So for a 100K MSRP, invoice would be 60K. Another 7% off invoice (minus the...

Pro, Let's hook up this Spring for a stream run. Keep in touch. Things should be getting good toward latter March if we can get a weekend day without the howling March winds. :welcome

That doesn't add up. You are not going to swamp a GW 28x hull from your own wake. There is more to the story.

Anyone know the price of a 2004 Marlin bottom helm seat cushion (port)? Any good sources?

Location?

I believe the under gunnel LEDs take the place of the cockpit lights. As for the speakers, I have a custom rig of Boston Acoustics mouned on the hardtop under the rocket launchers so I never use the factory stereo. I agree the new bilge access door is the ticket!

Here is a link to a new video about the Marlin. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlkfLeeYbcg I haven't seen one in years at the boat shows or dealer so it is nice to see some minor updates. o New hatch design for genny and bilge access. This is awesome and answers the great access I saw on the...

Pursuit is doing the same type hardtop on their offshore series. It seems to be a trend although I prefer having a choice. It gets hot in NC. That's why I am lobbying for helm A/C.

EPIRB Handheld VHF Handheld GPS extra batteries Type I life vests plenty of flares, etc Safety first. All else can come in time.

It isn't just GW. I just went to the Raleigh show yesterday. The Pursuit 315 was around $275 and a 28' Regulator CC was around $175. You read that right! Center console! :wow There were some very pretty boats but nothing really large (over 30'). GW has made some nice updates with LED speader...

As I mentioned recently, most boards are going to a approval before posting model. Spam on these boards is ZERO. :spam

I have the 300 which is built on the same hull although it weighs a bit more. The other boats you mention are mostly 24 degree deadrise hulls. The 306 will not take a headsea as well as these but will be more stable in a beam sea and rock less at drift. My advice is to test several different...

Most boards these days go through a registration process where you must be approved before posting is allowed.

Never has worked for me with the new boards. It works fine for FB and all other sites. I am using IE8.

Tashmoo nailed it. Both brands are excellent have have their strengths and weaknesses. The Pursuit and the 282 are comparable models but the 300 is larger boat in every aspect. I have owned a 272 and now a 300. Given the choice I prefer the larger boat but it may come down to finding the right...

Array is the way to go for serious boating and fishing for all the reasons listed. I have a Furuno Navnet (3.5', 4kw). My picture is like Gary M's unit. They key is proper setup and adjustment. Unfortunately the manual does not explain this well. I posted instructions awhile back. You may want...

This is from my owners manual. I believe GW stated this very clearly. While I am very relieved everyone is OK and feel sorry for the loss of the boat, the recommendation *IS* in the owners manual and should be followed. I NEVER open any of my seacocks unless in use. Period. SEACOCKS Ball valve...

Merry Christmas from Megabytes in chilly North Carolina! Play this link to get the holiday spirit flowing. Simply amazing! :praise http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1H4xtRY9V7I

I rarely fish alone but it isn't difficult in a 300. The toe rails and high gunnels are added safety. The quick helm to cockpit access is very helpful. I highly recommend an autopilot. a PLB and a wireless kill switch can save your life in the event of a mishap. AutoTethers are very popular.

No first hand knowledge but the only real hull difference is the extension of the hull under the bracket. I believe this happened somewhere between 96 and 97. The Marlin was the first SV2 hull and the ride is great. The 10-7 beam gives great stability when trolling in beam seas as well. I have...
