AMAZING. Love the look!

I'd also be interested in a a good aftermarket vinyl shop. I need to replace the fish box seat as well as have some custom cushions made for the bow fishing platform (for use when the whole family is on board vs. just fishing!)

Saw the exact show, Dennis! Great episode and wonderful to see the family donate the windfall to charity.

Corporate IT goon - I run the HR systems for a large professional services company. Not that exciting most days!!

wiz I have an '86 204 and it is a great boat but agree with the other posters - you may want to look around a little more before pulling the trigger. When you say you found soft spots on both sides of the console, was it the port/stbd/fore sides or aft while standing at the helm? If it is just...

I assume your steering is mechanical with cables? Is it possible that the cable has come loose somewhere?

Mine are SS and hook style, one on each side. Good point about the breakaway function, but I can leave my door up with the motor trimmed all up and there is a few inches between the top of the motor head and the door. Could just be my particular model though. Or could be my old Merc just isn't...

Are they the "door hook" style latches? If so I've seen very similar hardware at West Marine.

Great to hear Brian - where did you buy your trailer and what make/model is it?

Present and accounted for! Haven't been on the lake lately - but hoping to rectify that this week.

Bread I don't believe that business is still around, and if it is, search more and you'll find some questionable dealings. I have seen the following companies, however mentioned by successful/happy owners: http://www.frontpanelexpress.com/index.html http://www.wewireboats.com/s.html...

Parthery any ones in particular? I looked at a few on their website but didn't see anything about a warranty. So far I've looked at the 1000lb Fulton, Reese, eTrailer Pro Series, Attwood, and they all look the same to me. Other than buying galvanized for long term corrosion resistance, what...

Well I was close - LOL - only a foot longer, not shorter! :D Hope you get her back running soon.

So the trailer jack on my ancient Shorelandr is leaning, making me wonder how long I have before it fails. The jack itself isn't bent, but the steel brackets that secure it to the trailer frame are flexing. What's the best option here - spring for a new trailer jack or just try to find some...

fever my 204 Fisherman CC takes a 17' steering cable - I believe yours might be about a foot shorter? Not sure about control cable length.

Thanks for linking to that thread, Robert - good information and would appear Carver makes quality covers. I'm thinking their "styled-to-fit" aka semi-custom covers are the way to go, I didn't even see a pattern for my boat listed in the options for Westland. Spending $378 to get a semi-custom...

Thanks - had not checked out that site but will do a comparison. Appreciate the info! Did you go Carver or Westland, and what fabric?

Great thread - I've actually been thinking about this very topic. I'm considering the purchase of a semi-custom cover from Overton's. Anyone have any experiences with the Covermate line of boat covers? Considering this one: http://www.overtons.com/modperl/product ... ew&i=38911

Dave if you haven't yet contacted Grady regarding the thru hull sizes, you definitely should. I've read a number of threads on the board from others who have replaced theirs, and most if not all have reached out to Grady and Grady has happily supplied the exact measurements. Good luck with...

Not me, but another GW owner. According to him, they said that most of today's engineered plastics will last 20+ years, and on a mid 80s GW would better match the originals. I doubt that is their official company position, more likely the opinion of the GW rep he talked to. It does make some...
