No offense, but I think this is a scam. :hmm No one but no one sells iPads for discount.

as you noted, you cant fog a diesel engine without pulling the injector out. I just hand turn the engine until there is compression. That way, all the valves are closed and no airborne moisture can get into it. I drain the fuel out of tank and change both fuel and change oil and oil filter...

If you are in a freeze area, you must remove ALL the water from the genset or flush with RV antifreeze thru water intake. I prefer that method. They make toilet plunger looking device to hold up to bottom of hull so you can feed the RV antifreeze fluid into intake. That will protect genset unit...

I too don't have a 360 but have a 330 with same engines and have a friend with same boat as you are looking at. I know the adds say different but 4 adults is realistic. It will hold 1-2 small children as well, but no more adults. Double berth below cockpit is not for those who have concern for...

The livewell pump on my 330 lasts about two years. it is a magnetic rotor type and if it runs in sandy water or without water for long, the impeller will not spin easy. Replace!

you are kidding..........right? Maybe you can put it there while at a calm anchor but never while running the boat. Salt water and air cooled generators and engines don't mix!

the F350 has a LOT more torque than the equivalent F250 and that makes the boat feel like it has more power when jumping on plane. I prefer twins to trips for less maint cost but that is not taking into consideration cost for a newer boat which came with F350's. My boat has the F250's and i...

probably need to spray corrosion x inside the new one to try and make it live longer. once salt gets inside, it is tough to get it out. i replaced dual horns on my 05 330 this year. same thing, sounded weak and then mostly nothing. need it for foggy weather or other safety item.

nothing will take oxide off and make it look like anodized metal. oxide is from corrosive material penetrating the anodized layer and attacking the vulnerable base metal. it leaves pitting. future attack is easy in pitted areas once corrosion is removed. That is why you need to wax or protect...

I have an 05 i bought used in 07. it has F250's and get 1 to 1.1smpg at 28mph cruise with half fuel, dive tanks, 4 guys, ice, etc. It is a strong boat hull and will take just about anything. it will pound in a head sea but bow planes do help but will suck more fuel. i have diesel genset and...

CLR at home depot or walmart in plumbing section.

the baitwell on my 05 330 is insulated with about a half inch of spray foam. I wouldnt say that is much insulation if hot outside. I think you would be better off to line the inside with 2" thick taped together foam pieces including a top piece for the few times you need to go out on long trips...

Rode one once. Great in head sea. Rear quarter sea was ugly with bow steer. Better get it cheap as any boat with a questionable past is hard to resell, and take several test rides.

El, Wax is for those who like to work on their boat. My two coats of rejex still bead up after 5 months of weather here in south FL. I buy it by the gallon on ebay, same as corrosion X. Both are made by same company I think.

EL, best way to keep the soot from sticking is to use Rejex type of wax. it really is an acrylic coating and not a wax. It was developed for coating jet airplanes so the exhaust soot didn't stick to the paint or metal. Put two coats on and then the soot will just wash off with soap and water.

will Grady ever consider putting in a diesel I/O for those of us who value the price of fuel? I have a 330 and 5 bucks a mile is a bit much unless i take 5 guys fishing with me.

sunbrella holes Sunbrella is a synthetic fabric and melts when exposed to flame or heat above 350F. Best part of this is that it self seals the edges of the hole. Try it on a corner where extra fabric might be available on the folded side. A soldering iron might do the trick if you are...

Sign of times The answer is far more complicated than just considering boat builders profits. Boats are a discretionary spending item for most of us. The cost is second only to most house prices. The amount of money that most Americans have discretion over has drastically dwindled in the past...

I think the engines are too tall to be raised up high enough to get the lower unit out of the water, especially with full fuel tanks and the gen set option. I think you would get growth inside the water inlets if not protected. Ask the dealer as I would think others with same setup would have...

A friend of mine races boats for Reggie and he told me that Reggie has a deal with Brunswick that will allow them first option to purchase Fountain's holdings when Reggie wants to retire, which is in 4 years if I remember right.
