I have a guy wanting to sell me 4 8ft Ugly stick rods with 4 Penn 209 reels all with colored lead core line. He is asking $250 for all of them. I have tried trollong with my spinning rods, but they are not the best so, is this a good deal to be used for Striper and mackerel trolling ? Thanks

As usual. my family managed to find a reason to complain about my boat. We unsuccessfully tried Wake boarding today, so I have a few questions. 1. Has anyone done this with a 19 ft tournament ? 2) I can pull a skier and a tube, but the Wakeboard was difficult and another boater recommended a...

Any recommendation on covers for a 19 ft tournament ? I have been through two Wal-Mart covers and finally decided to do it right. Are the covers from West Marine, or Taylor etc.. that say they fit, will they fit. They say they cover the bow rail as well. I would prefer an over the counter...

I just started looking into boat insurance. I got a quote from Boat. US. Since I only have a small used boat, my policy quote didn`t seem like much of an expense, but my main concern is hitting something or damaging the motor. Does anyone have experience with policies and claims for used boat...

Well I took the aluminum cap off and there was about an inch circle around one stripped screw hole that was soft. I dug it out and it was about 1/4" -1/2" deep then hard but wet, not saturated. The top of the rest of the wood was wet, but not saturated and not soft in the areas where water...

Has anyone here ever used or have a Sea Cast Transom done ? I spoke to a guy who is an authorized Sea Cast Repair Shop with a good restoration about the possibility of doing this after this season. I have also seen a product called CPES from "The Rot Doctor" that looks like a patchable...

I purchased a new (used ) set of canvas for my boat. It is in great shape, I mounted it over my current Bimini to be sure it fir and it does. Now I have to remove the current old top and put the new top on. It does appear the screws to take the bimini apart are seized a bit and may need to be...

I just put a new transducer on my boat for a new depth finder. It is a transom mount. I had to drill 3 holes. The first two, no big deal, the third hole, water came out. I don`t know why that location had water. About a shot glass full came out then stopped. Does this mean transom problems ...

Anyone recommend any specific supplier for the standard 8' OD 6' ID Pry out deck plates? I need to replace mine and there are a few manufacturers out there. iBoats seemed to have the best price. Thanks T

Just curious, what length of time do most people finance a boat for ? Lets say a $50,000 boat, what are normal terms these days ? Also, at what point does a boat qualify as a second residence? Is there an advantage to that ? Thanks

I need to replace my Jump Seats. I bought 2 seat backs off Ebay that said they were for the boat. They look nice. Just wondering, what are the bases made of? I was thinking of going with a Starboard base and have some cushions made to snap on. I would take the backs that snap on and match them...

I need to replace my tank. It is a 40 Gal Aluminum. I am leaning toward the Plastic tanks, but the do not have a 40 gal. that fits. So, I would have to go with a smaller tank, like a 26 or 30 gal tank. Probably not a big deal and may be better since less gas in all, and I probably wont take any...

I brought the boat (19 ft tournament 140 Suzuki) on Thanksgiving Vacation and launched it and docked it at the local Marina. Figured with some decent weather (North Carolina, Emerald Isle)we could cruise and fish a little before putting it away for the season. Thursday was excellent and all...

Had the kids out tuning today and all was fine until the end of the day, the motor (suzuki DT 140 outboard) acted up. Basically, it seemed starved for fuel. The motor would start then as soon as I gave it throttle, it would start to go, then bog down and cut out. Sometimes if I waited a while...

Had a great weekend. Went Scuba Diving on the Queen Annes Revenge, BlackBeards Ship discovered 1 mile offshore near Beaufort Inlet. Took an extra day and took my GW Tournament 19 from Beaufort up to the Hook of the Cape. Great Calm Day. Followed Markers and Charts and still managed to hit bottom...

I just got my new seats. On the port side I am changing out the captain chair of my Grady White Tournament 19 with a back to back seat. I bought the Seats from Veada since they offered a higher base and I am happy with the quality. My question is, what is the best way to install the base ? I...

My dad just gave me a Garmin 420 S GPS/Depth Finder Combo for my birthday. Unfortunately he bought it without the transducer. I currently have a humminbird depth finder and I believe the transducer is an in hull type since it is not visible on the transom or hull. I plan to check all of this...

I recently got involved in a thread on a North Carolina Fishing site regarding goin off shore in a small boat. It was great to see all of the input. I took my 2 boys and 2 of thier friends out on a charter last year. The captain had a 20 ft Mako. I thought we would stay in the intra coastal...

I plan to Change out the pasneger side post seat on my 1985 Tournament 190 with a back to back seat. I have been to the Wise site and others as well and was wondering does anyone have a strong preference for this application. I would love to buy the exact Grady seats but I`m not sure you can...
