    Advice for first-time inboard owner?

    They are geared for pulling multiple skiers without the MPHs dropping when the skiers are carving deep corners . So the top end isn't crazy fast . Pulling a skier through the " cones " with a standard low hp I/O will have you adjusting the throttle constantly , not doing that with a competition...

    How to best start a boat with a push button

    Replace the ECM and wire it back to stock . My uneducated guess is the choke is not working the way it is now wired up .

    SEI Marine products...Anyone buy from them?? Quality??

    I have a hard time believing there is more than 1 or maybe 2 manufacturing facilities that make these parts and then just package them under whatever name the distributor wants on them . I see it all the time with tool sales . Matco- Mac - Snap On - Cornwall all do it with either there primary...

    1985 Carver Convertible

    350 hp as in 454s or are they small block 350 cubic inch . engines . Trannies and engine if 454s might be worth 3 - 4 grand . All other parts are a crapshoot as your trying to find someone looking for parts for a 48 year old boat . I would just walk away from it unless your a gluten for a major...

    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 .

    is Nada boat valuation acurate?

    If you like the boat , make them a cash offer of 3,000 less than asking price . 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...

    Looking to find Glastron model and max hp motor

    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 ...

    '75 24'5" Slickcraft Cabin Crusier

    Hope you got it for free , hate to be the bearer of bad news . Everything is wrong , out drive - engine - winterized ? - outside uncovered for , from the looks of it a decade . Trailer is your only asset in this . Sorry again . On the other hand you could put 10 - 15 G into it , motor- outdrive...

    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 .
