do you currently have plastic or metal through hull fittings?

that is alarmingly terrible. what are the specs for your prop (diameter and pitch)? i think there is a good chance you have a spun hub or a horribly mis-matched prop for your boat look at post 3 on this thread, his numbers are quite a bit better than yours...

what is your max RPM and speed at max RPM?

i think a lot of the people that argue against them dont realize how different they are from manual or other automatic tabs. they sense the boat's motion 1000 times a second and adjust position 100 times a second. they dont just automatically adjust to a certain running attitude, they...

that gel looks amazing, good luck with the sale

even thought the chesapeake bay is obviously a bay, i wouldnt suggest a "bay" boat. it actually can be a very rough body of water and get rough very quickly. id be concerned that the coastal explorer would pound in our short period chop.

honestly, if its you, wife, and dog, it doesnt really matter much between the DC and CC. you can both easily get behind canvas/glass in the event of unexpected rain and you dont need any extra seating that a dc would have over the CC. the CC is easier to dock yourself as well since you dont...

you state that the boat does require active control of the tabs, but argue against a system that actively controls the tabs?

thats a pretty poor scam

how different from a Marlin is it? Free Bump, good luck with sale.

with the high in the teens and lows in the low single digits, i am just fondly thinking about it....

thanks for the thoughts, guys

thanks. i might try to lower my railing this spring. just trying to see what im getting myself in for

2000 Chase Is the bow rail one piece, or is it segmented between the t-fittings?

i cut some holes in the boat. speaker holes to be precise. holes for 8.8s to replace the access plates on the rear face of the forward seating. also, holes for 7.7s in the transom seat facing forward. i also ran power, ground and signal wire from the console to the back (ran wire for the...

it probably helped that it never saw salt

this page has a pretty small reach. id try something like the hull truth to reach more people.

i must have been luck with my last trailer. it was a venture carrying a 23ft welcraft. the trailer was 10+ years old when i got the boat and i had it for 9 years. i did exactly zero maintenance to it and had no problems. that being said, i am taking better care of my current trailer, haha

what about the intakes closer to the leading edge of the lower? they are under water in your pic. are you not concerned about them?
