    Bennett Trim Tab Size

    Volvo QLs are LESS drag in the water than a traditional tab as there is less surface area being drug through the water. The QLs use a mere lip that deflects the water to adjust the run angle of the boat. I have owned Bennett tabs and volvo QLs. The volvos are much faster and responsive than the...

    Newbie Question - 272 w/ Hondas

    While I only have 90 hours on my Honda, i am VERY impressed by it. It is quiet, silky smooth and very fuel efficient. As a matter of my builder and another Judge Yachts owner shared with me that the Honda burns about 1 gph less at the same cruise speeds as the same hull with a zuke 250. Of...

    adding rod holders to T-top

    Actually having them welded on is not much more than a decent set of clamp ons. I am looking at the same thing right now and was told it is $100ea for welded on ones and it is $79 for good clamp on ones at Boaters World. The clamp on ones from my experience need to be tightened on occassion and...

    Trailer Troubles -- Backing Up

    I had the same problem with my last trailer until the dealer told me what I was doing wrong. My bet is that you are doing the same thing.. You are putting your truck into reverse with the surge brakes engaged because you just came to a hard stop. This locks your brakes on. After you come to...

    Worst Riding Boats

    I hate to say it but some of you Grady guys just fuel his fire. I think he gets a kick out of getting your panties in a bunch. It certainly becomes entertaining watching the drama unfold between all the parties. Just always keep in mind that Its the internet guys. Dont take it so personal :)

    Worst Riding Boats

    In one of the threads I asked what brand walkaround-type boat rides better than a Grady... There are a lot of Walkaround-style boats out there and I cannot think of one that rides better in this particular class. I dont think I got much of a response either.

    How to cover 228g Hard Top for winter ??

    Another option I just got from my father. He uses an RV cover. google them for the best deals. They are square covers but tie off nice at the bottom. You just need some support under the cover for water drainage.

    How to cover 228g Hard Top for winter ??

    Two options in my book... blue tarp it from home depot or use the boat! :D I tarped my boat every year but last year. She only sat for 8 weeks without use though in Jan and Feb. Tarping or shrink wrapping prevents water from getting into small places and expanding when freezing. Or moisture...

    228g position on Venture Trailer

    push the forward trays together some. It will raise the bow. Do to the flatter transom and sharp entry of my previous boat I had to have the forward trays pretty close together to keep the bow from hitting the axle and the back of the trailer tonge. The boat actually was bow high on the trailer...

    SUZUKI or YAMAHA

    I know I responed to this thread before but since then I have learned new information. I am in the process of having a semi custom boat built and was given the choice of Honda 225 or Zuke 250. I have spoken to an owner of the same model who went with the 250 zuke and he is disappointed in his...

    Early 115's were really known for it but it has been know to happend in the early F250's too. The thing with my dad's buddy was that Yam was a bear to deal with on the warranty.
