    Getting ready for re-power,,,, finally!!!

    Last weekend, I gutted the helm of my old rigging, getting ready for my new F250xcb motor sitting at dealer in Charleston. The old 704 binacle had a longer footprint than the new digital control. Had some leftover material from the dash flush mount project so made a plate to cover, and mounted...

    Last outing with my trusty 3.3 F225!

    Finally got the call this morning that my new 4.2 F250xcb has landed at the dealer, 2 years and 2 months of waiting. Sitting on the lake in SC fishing all this week, been a reliable motor since I've had it. Will take boat home and start re-rigging for the new FBW motor.

    FS,, Taco gunnel mount outriggers, 15' poles.

    Complete gunnel mount Taco setup. Bases, inserts and 15', 1-1/8" poles. Bases and inserts came with my boat in 2017, bought the poles new in 2019, used once, decided to go hardtop mount GS-280's. $500 plus shipping. New, this setup would run over $1000 with tax.

    New shoes!!

    Went and had new tires put on my rims. Goodyear Endurance. 5 years on the first set and not an issue one. Spares never touched the ground. Highly recommend these tires. Made in the USA !!

    GreatGrady think tank question? Outriggers?

    Debating on going to hardtop outriggers versus my current gunnel mount ones. The gunnels only deploy to approximately 45° off the sides, the hardtops will deploy to 90° off the side, giving me a wider spread. Pros and cons??? Thanks.

    2017 Lowrance Carbon 7's

    Anybody want these before I toss them? They worked intermittent for me and I got frustrated and took them off my boat and went to a single Simrad. It may have been on my end,, don't know. All wiring and brackets are with them. Just need transducers. Pay for the ride and they are yours.

    228 SeaDek

    Got the dry fit kit back from SeaDek the other day and laid it out where it's going. Looks great, can't wait for the real stuff. Not doing the cockpit for now. Not sure how it would hold up against catfish horns.

    2021 Hull Logo's and model callout

    I had my boat stripped of all the old stripes and logo's along with a complete buff out, which is a story in itself. Anyway, started putting the new 2021 logo's on along with the model callout. I'll put the stripes back on when it warms up this week. This is just a preview. Also had my...

    Updated,,,,,,228 flush mount prep

    I got my panel cut out and the NSS12 sitting in it ready to be installed on the boat. Removed all the wires left over from the Carbon's and got the WM-3 weather module powering up with the unit. I had it on a switch with the Carbon's because I was using a hub to network the units. I have the...

    Yamaha motor availability

    For those of you like myself, either in the middle of a repower or considering one, motor availability is now looking like July-August timeframe. The Rona, parts supply, employee absenteeism, shipping, I guess all play a part in this. It's frustrating for sure on my part, been wanting to repower...

    New FBW Yamaha binnacle.

    Been acquiring all my parts for the re-rig for my new F250xca FBW motor and I picked up the final pieces a couple of weeks ago when I was in Charleston. The new fly by wire binnacle is a small, compact thing, compared to my current 704 control. It's less than 6" tall from mounting surface to the...

    Kicker on 228??

    I have a line on a brand new Yamaha 9.9, High thrust, 25" shaft, that I can pick up for a very good price. Will be mounted on a Pooderbuilt bracket on my swim platform. Is the 25" too long or the preferred length? Thanks.
