Try a TR-1 Try a TR-1 before you buy...See if you can find a boat with one to give you a demo....you won't have any questions after that. My berth is one mile from the end of the jetties and usually very busy. I drive the boat (2006 300 Marlin) all the way to the berth in a no wake zone and...

Very Good Advice... I think you are getting very good advice from the guys buy I feel the need to throw in my two cents worth...Got a load of fuel last year that had high water content and experienced poor performance. Put two and two togather and can up with water in the fuel. Changed out...

Greyg8r....all the best! All my very best wishes to you on your upcoming surgery. I know how you feel...I'm two weeks out of the hospital for a Quad-Cardiac By-Pass I thought I'd not need after Stinting and rehab last year. To look on the bright side...once it's done things should improve...

Went to the Marina today to plug up the shore power and run the charger. That done I noticed that the F250's didn't look "right" from the pilot's chair, sort of one east the other west...walked back and saw the steering conector rod was disconnected and allowing the engines to "Splay". The boat...

LED Lights and Fires? Go on THT and do a search for LED Cockpit lighting... saw something about fires caused by wiring delivering too much voltage for the LED to handle over time...sorry to be so vague but don't remember the fix...only that a lot of kit suppliers don't address this.

Butterfly Jigs....? Back to the original question...Here in Fla. The butterfly Jig is starting the really catch on. The opinions are all over the map. All I can say is that if I"m going after bottom fish or Kingfish on structure, I won't go without Butterfly Jigs...gas costs too much to boat...

Towing.... I used to tow a 19ft. CC from Orlando to Titusville FL. The rig weighted in at 3800lbs. and I was driving a GMC Jimmy rated at 5000 lbs. O.A.C. tow capacity. I found out that O.A.C. meant "Off a Cliff" and that there was a mountain between Orlando and Titusville even though it...

Hot Water in the stern? Sounds like a winner to me...don't know if anyone has done it yet but I know that my last boat had a dual input faucet ( but only the "cold" was plumbed) near the transom door. Please post the results if you do this.

New 305... Beautiful boat... you will love it. Don't want to be a spoil sport but I would elevate that GPS Ant before thw Radar burns it up.

Learned my lesson... Arrggghhh!....thank you...I gotta get off those blood thiners!

I've learned my lesson about when to mount the enclosures around the bridge of my G/W. Spent the entire afternoon grappeling with the stiffest, meanest, ornreyest "canvas" enclosure known to man. I barely came out alive. Nothing fit! I finally broke down and called G/W and the kind folks...

Ponce Inlet 8 footers Honestly...there were eight foot swells blowing froth and a USCG 47 footer posted at the mouth of the Inlet the day Eric Kelly of PlayTwo Marine took us for the SeaTrial. The USCG boat turned around several smaller craft but just waved the G/W on. Great endorsement if...

Sea Trial a 33? What's the big deal about to sea trial or not....it's just like getting married to a person you've never met! I'd sea trial a boat even if I was just moving up a few years on the same make and model. Those few hours spent may include a suprise that includes a lot of remorse...

300 Marlin Congratulations....you will love that boat. Did you get the genset/AC option? I noticed you are from the cold country and that A/C-Heat pump is wonderful....even though I live and fish in Florida. Just checked it today. If you have those options there is a really good add-on that...

Inboard Pursuits...? Just checked the website for Pursuit boats...even their new OS 375 will feature 350 Yamahas...no inboards to be found. Seatrialed their 33 last year ( it wore twin F250's ) and found it to be a really well built boat but a little too Cruise oriented for what I wanted. The...

C-Map vs Navionics Had the very same question when I went to Furuno...also wanted the weather module. At that time (March/April of 2007, only the C-Map offered Sirius Weather Module support. Went with C-Map Gold and still havn't used all the options.

One More Thing.... If you buy a used Liferaft then by all means and no matter when the paperwork says it needs re-packed...GET IT RE-PACKED A.S.A.P. !!! A friend of mine bought a used one a few years back and it wasn't due for a year...8 mos. later he's cleaning the boat in the driveway...

Liferaft Mounting..... Not trying to tell you folks what to do but consider this....I'm told that a large grady (fellow was talking about a 23' Gulfstream) will probably capsize if swamped due to the weight of the hardtop....Ok, now if the liferaft canister is hardtop mounted and now is 8 to 10...

Trailering Larger G/W's in Florida I don't know if Florida's DOT is getting picky or not since I didn't buy a trailer for the Marlin but I've trailered a Hydra Sports that is a Gulfstream Clone for a great many years and one thing I know does excite the local Law down here is when they see...

New Gradys... Check out Playtwo Marine in Edgewater, FL....They have a few new 2007's and are selling them at a great price....ex: a new 305 with a load of options was priced at 199,000 at the Central Fl Boatshow last weekend...heard that a a new 300 Marlin (2008) was around 262,000 at the New...
