    Pro-line vs Striper vs Wellcraft vs Sea Fox (Lake Erie worthy)

    In the market for a used (2007+) 21-23 foot walkaround to be used for Lake Erie Walleye and perch. Trying to do the research and am hoping for some feedback. I'd like to spend around $35,000. I really like the looks of the newer Pro-line 23 Express. Seating seems great, lots of room, maybe...

    Another Mercruiser tilt issue

    I have a Searay seville with the oildyne tilt/trim pump. My tilt/trim UP started to act sporadically last year. DOWN always works. I have no clue as to why...hence the question, but the UP only works after I turn the steering wheel to the right (engine on or off). Nothing but a click when...

    Mercruiser Tilt - Manual set

    I have a 1986 Searay with a Mercruiser 140i/o. Original Square oildyne tilt motor. Last year I started to have problems in the water with the tilt motor. Sporadically worked. I checked electric, fluid, etc. Not sure if moisture is somehow getting where it shouldn't. Either way, my question...
