    Ed's Marine Superstore

    dealer I dealt with them a few years ago. They will ship to a "willing" dealer to install them. Most dealers will not do it because they don't get the sale, which I can understand. I was becoming too much of a hassle trying to orchestrate the deal and locate cooperation. It works for...

    Should I Powder Coat or Not

    Powder On the boats, when the finish on anodized aluminum is done, it is done. I had a motorcycle frame powdercoated when I was building one around 5 years ago. Powdercoat is tougher than paint. Powdercoat is very thick and will help hide SMALL blems. The problem with powdercoat is if...

    Gulfstream Power

    A 225 is fine for a little 23 foot boat. It won't be as quick to plane as other 23 footers because the gulfstream is wider than other 23's, but they are not fast boats by design. This is true of all walkarounds. The wide beam is what makes the gulfstream a great fishing boat. If you can get...

    Taxachusetts strikes again!!!

    "Taxachusettes" That's funny. But it is no laughing matter I know. Right after NY's saltwater license and jacking up DMV fees, only weeks later they decided they wanted yet another 29 million dollars and wanted to mandate we all buy all new auto license plates in April for every single...
