    Lots of slop in control cables

    The WEB business sites are mostly overcharging people. Not more than a computer taking all your private data to sell. I just had a scammer call saying they were my medical plan. Checked them out to be sure. Crooks work to get your easy money.

    Thinking of trading deck boat for jet boat

    You have NO IDEA what a long frustrating problem those VACUUM CLEANER boats can be. When they suck up fishline, baby diapers, clear sandwich bags, long stringy weeds. A tow back to the dock is normal. Then the work begins. some jet pumps are easier to clean out if the drive is pulled apart...

    LiFePO Batteries ???

Lead Acid batteries HAVE a definite place on the boat. If your starting wires are on the small sizes ? They can be quickly damaged...
