Hey all,
I recently bought a 2007 Tahoe 222 deck boat. Here's what I am running into the last couple days on the water. With a full tank of gas (45 gallons) 5 adults of average size (4 sitting up front and me in the rear driving) the boat gets out of the hole "decently". Now, we went back to...

2007 Tahoe 222 w/ Tracker Marine dual axle trailer
I have been searching the net but not having too much luck and wanted to see what you all think or may have experience with. The trip to the lake appr. 50 minutes one way. We have been towing...
Hey all, been looking for a bow guard that goes on the bow just above the bow hook so when the boat is on the trailer it doesn't get scuffed up. My issue is on my 2007 Tahoe 222 the bow is not smooth, the body has two small humps if you will that are built into the hull so ordering a standard...
Hey all,
Just picked up and cleaned my new-to-me 2007 Tahoe 222. Everything is in excellent condition except the shur-flo sink. When I turn it on, i hear the motor kick on and the first second of water is a nice, strong flow. After that, it barely comes out, just fast enough to make a stream...
Hey all,
I am traveling 6 hours to pickup my new-to-me boat Friday and want to make sure I have the understanding of the braking system as my last boat trailer had no brakes. I am picking up a 2007 Tahoe 222 boat with matching trailer. All I know is the factory trailer has brakes and they...
Hey all,
I had an issue this last off season with my pontoon boat that was inside a warehouse (not humidity controlled) but was under the factory boat cover. I cleaned and conditioned my seats thoroughly before I put it up for the winter. When I went to sale it this wknd, I noticed the seats...
Hey all,
I may be giving up my 2010 Manitou Oasis Pontoon with 70hp Suzuki Fuel Injected Outboard for a 2007 Tahoe 222 with Mercruiser 5.0 260hp. Now, I know the fuel mileage isn't going to be anything like it was on the pontoon (top speed at 18-20 mph). My question is what can I expect on...
Went by the dealer today about trading my 2010 Manitou Oasis with 70hp Suzuki and they have a couple Silverwave Pontoons that are in my budget. One with a Suzuki 115 and Other with a 140. Both have a perf. package (skinned underside and strikes).
Anyone heard of these? Quality? Issues? Goods...
Looks like I am going to bite the bullet and underskin the toon. What style and thickness is everyone using in aluminum? The 3003 or 5052? .05 thickness or thicker? I am going to use the SS screws in case i ever need to remove it. Also, what prices are you paying per sheet? I will try Lowes...
I know there are a lot of variables but let's just go with the "average" on everything for the time being. I am looking to go to my local marine shop and trade my current 2011 Suzuki DF70a outboard for a 115hp model. Let's assume the used replacement is perfect just as mine is and it also is a...
Hey all,
I have a 22' Manitou Oasis with a 2011 Suzuki DF70A Fuel Injected motor. I spent last season going through props to achieve the best top end as well as best maintained speed while pulling a tuber. The best i am achieving with a full tank of fuel with 4 adults is around 19 mph. With a...
Hey all,
I have a 22' Manitou Oasis with a 2011 Suzuki 70 Fuel Injected. After playing with 3 props to achieve the best performance, the best i can get out of my toon is 20mph with 2 passengers a full tank of gas. I would like to trade/sell my outboard and replace it with something to get...
I currently have a standard Bimini top on my toon. I am searching for one that has some sort of "wall" privacy for the sides, back, and front. Ones that are the same fabric as the top that just roll down when in use and roll back up when not. Anyone know of a company or place that sales...
