    Engine hour gauge

    Go with the analog style , not the digital only . If the digital fails you lose all info , not with the other style as it's mechanical and the hours are always showing , on or off .

Be prepared to walk , if your in a northern state the odds are they will call you back after they rejected your offer and accept it . No explanation is needed to be given to dealer , like , this is what NADA has it...

    Looking to find Glastron model and max hp motor

    They dropped 100s on the 14' models , don't remember the model . Did not have the weight that this one will with the hard top . My 15' / 400 lb Power Cat has a 150hp Tower on it . Better to go bigger than put a 50-60 on it and then put 3 people in it and it can't get out of it's own way . To...

    Might have to join Glastron Owners club or something like that on Facebook and see what they come up with . No information on Fiberglassics / library section . Built after 73:hull ID # would be etched on upper right hand corner of transom.

    Fiberglass pro pike

    What info are you exactly looking for ? It's a 16' - 39 year old boat that probably has soft / rotting spots all over it . Controls are motor mfg specifics , all hardware is made by a after market supplier , not them .

    VIP valiant weight

    Buy one that has a 3,000 lb capacity and you will be good to go . Shows 1920 empty , may or may not include your engine . Two stroke motors in that class are around 350 lbs . Gas is 8 lbs a gallon , add in batteries, oils , anchor safety gear and you may be a bit under that 3,000 lb mark ...

    Transducer

    Then 12* is what he needs , no way did they make that dead rise close to 20* more like 10* the more I think about it .

    Transducer

    Asking for dead rise degrees , not frequency for his MFD .

    Transducer

    You can use your cell ( might need a app to get that feature ) to measure your dead rise , I would guess your in the 12* - 15:* range . Bigger older boats usually never got close to the somewhat standard 19 * Doesn't Airmar only offer 2 models for different dead rises ?

    2022 Lund Adventure 1775 Sport

    Have a 2012 Rebel Xl 17 ' , no complaints, not the main boat so it- I has limited time on it . One thing many people overlook when pricing out boats is re- sale value . Yes you pay more for a top tier boat and you get a higher percentage of your money back when selling it . Maybe Google it

    1995 Renken threaded hole in bow of boat

    Wherever it leads to can be found by looking in the bow area that.will at least drain hole of some sort that leads to that thru Hull fitting. That thru Hull fitting needs to be replaced and bedded properly . All I see is water intrusion 101 .

    Wellcraft or Robalo or Black Fin or BW for CC?

    You will pay more for a Whaler , and it will be worth more if you trade it in or sell it in a few years when you go bigger. Most people don't figure that in when shopping for a new boat .

    Moving 3rd toon back

    You cannot compare motors as the boats are not the same. As mentioned the third toon is adding considerable drag and what was the weight difference. Was the Mercury a 2 stroke that weighs a lot less than a 4 stroke. Yes the lifting strakes are designed to lift the toons up s bit , less drag . Do...

    Proper way to place engine compartment/bilge fans?

    Fumes are heavier than air and drop to the lowest point in the bilge . That's where your discharge hoses should be , under the engine or facing the oil pan. The inlet fresh air hoses do not need nor should they have blowers attached to them . They can terminate at a higher level but don't have...
