    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    Have been watching it and it's a slight "maybe". Hours are ok but it's been bottom painted and probably spent it's life sitting in saltwater except during the winter. There was a 2024 model in FL that was 20K more, but it's gone now

    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    Don't know what they would sell one actually for because a 2 year old with V8 is selling in the 280K range. So they sell much less or there is one heck of a deprecation.

    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    New is always pricey an new always list MSRP, and looking into performance V8 300 and V10 350 isn't much due to added weight Been in discussion with Formula in Decatur but they have no used currently. Sent me links to a 2025 with V8 and 2026 with V10 V8...

    Yamaha F225 ECU Upgrade

    Don't know Yam's but don't see this as a ECU, this is the chartplotter setup issue. Most all have setup routines and it just needs to be setup in the menu

    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    Late follow up and something new Boat ran well all season, trim gauges in sync. End of season 2024 while changing the gear lube I found some water on the port side.

    MC TB5 Throttle/neutral issues

    I say Normally with a grain of salt, but normally to remove the neutral button the shifter is moved full forward and then the button can be removed. Removing it in neutral position can break part of the button inside All the button does is disengage the drive cable from moving forward. All this...
