So, one of the biggest issues I deal with is having a place for tackle. One thing I noticed is I really do not use the gunnel storage. I use one side, but not the other, since I have so many rod places. To that end, if I took out the rod storage "hooks" on one side, I was thinking I could have a...

Well, we made it back in one piece! We learned a lot about the boat and have quite a bit of fun to talk about heh, but overall, this was a smashing success. First off, we did not catch any snapper, but we caught a lot of Porgies (we think that is what they are lol)...and my son had a blast...

So, all cleaned up and ready to go. Heading out tomorrow. Should be in Port Aransas, TX around 1pm-ish tomorrow. May do some bay fishing that afternoon, but Sunday is looking awesome for a little further out. Fausto, Mr. 28 Marlin (I call him that.. heh....owns a 90-something 28 Marlin), will...

Hey guys, I do not have the a/c yet.. heh.. so, curious what you guys use for a small heater in the cabin. I was thinking to stick with electric, since propane in an enclosed space worries me :P Not sure how small/large it would need to be to keep it comfortable. Also want it safe.. so... do...

So, finally got my printer working. While I am doing a beta fish for my daughter and an "Among Us" figure for my son.. lol. I am going to do some wahoo lures next. While testing those.. I plan to research scanning my boat with my drone. Now, may take a bit.. but, if I get it working.. I may be...

Well, had to ask.. lol.. since I pulled it out. What's the best fridge to replace the old 2004 Isotherm refrigerator with? It looks like the cut-out is 15x20.75" Could go a slight taller if I really had to and wider if need be, if I were to find a more efficient model. Not doing it anytime...

Hey guys, So, picked up some new parts, I "think" I got a good deal. I am sure I will use most of them.. who knows about one item. I was talking to someone on FB and they had gotten rid of their 2004 F225s and so had extra parts lying around and sold them all to me for $150, shipping included...

Hey guys, my throttles are not in sync and while that is not a huge issue, I want to plan on replacing those with some quality throttle lines. Rather than find new ones and just install them and then find out later I wanted something else, any suggestions on what you would swap them with? Not...

Just figured to update anyone interested. Final trial today...boat is running solid and no alarms. Rebuilt the trailer and the wheels now do not go above 98-ish degrees. I replaced everything on it except the springs and the jack, but a new jack will be here this week. The alarm was still going...

So, jack stand was on my list... go figure, it bumped itself to the top today.. heh Any reason to get the same 2500lb vs a 5000lb? Thanks R

Hey guys, Noticed when I took pictures of the boat yesterday, the top hatch may be leaking. Anyone have a good source for replacing the cabin batch? It seems pretty loose. May just need the seal replaced, but willing to look at the entire thing, if that seems like the best way to go. Also...

So, a friend borrowed my tractor trailer to pick up a golf cart for his brother-in-law. His brother-in-law, in turn....decided it was too much work for him heh.. so, my buddy offered it to me. Yes.. we are still friends...lol Anyway, I was debating on how to fit it into a GW "theme".... I saw...

So, budgeting for an a/c and am curious as to an approximate Cu Ft of the cabin. Anyone have a good guesstimate? We have used a 10k btu portable and it worked fine, and may be a good size, but wanted to make sure I did not under or over-size and am not sure of the cu ft of the 270 cabin...

I figured, while I was being all "nice".. since that rarely happens.. lol I wanted to wish you all a very Merry Christmas, and a safe and happy holiday season. An old .. hell, I guess it has to be Irish, since it sounds like it was said by a drunk person.. but an old Navy friend used to...

So, as I am working on the trailer (with the boat off of it), I am curious where, approximately, the “center of gravity” might be on this boat. The reason I ask is that the roller/winch brace was loose and while I have all new nuts for it, I am wondering if it has moved forward through the...

So, when I was in the Navy...I think one of my best memories was Palermo, Sicily. I remember going to this little ...eh...WE might call it a 'piano bar'... but, cannot remember if it had a piano.. lol. So, I know.. shock.. I was a bit 'gruff' back then, so did not hang out with a lot of...

Thanks to @Lsquared , I get to swap my trailer out today for repairs. I kept ordering the last parts, and the trailer place kept sending the wrong parts. Last time, I had to drive there and back, about 7-ish hours, and did not catch they had given me the wrong hubs. So, now I am taking it to...

So, I have replaced almost everything on my trailer. I saw no need to do the springs, they worked fine, no separation, rusted.. but solid. So... 5 months ago I ordered the front axle. The trailer has a 2.5" drop axle. I would like to raise it with a straight axle to get it off the fenders, but...

Yes, this is a quasi-salespitch, but...he was too cute so had to post it:p My son is in Scouts and we were working on his movie making badge. He got to direct, act, screenplay schtuph and edit so, not perfect, but too darn cute lol so, enjoy:p

Well, for those that may be curious, in the next few days I will be ordering a new 2nd axle for the trailer. I may go ahead and take the trailer TO the trailer place to ensure that eeeeeeverything on the boat is top notch. As for the engines, I have about 2-3 times the water cooling pressure...
