Both are good, since you have Yamaha now, I would think it would be easier (cheaper) to rig with another Yamaha.

It has always been something you were not supposed to do. I can't say if it's the same for every engine, but I wouldn't do it. I believe it's more about the lower unit than the engine.

Great, now I thinking about someone steeling my 50 gallons of gas in my boat while I'm not at the lake. :D

Here in MO, at LOTO there are boats with big tanks that come spray your dock with what can only be described as a firehose of spray. They say it's all natural stuff. I hope so, cause a lot goes into the water. On my dock, spiders like to live in the ends of the square bimini top tubing. I...

My dealer is 150 miles away, so I'm going to fix this small issue myself. The plate that holds the ACC switches is loose and moves around. The plate on both sides of the steering wheel have the same problem. I haven't even looked under the dash yet, so I don't know if its just some screws...

Fuel in MO is always seems cheaper than other states. I assume its because of less stringent pollution laws so they can use a cheaper blend. I was surprised to see fuel only $4.99 on the water. That was for ethanol free 87 octane at LOTO over the weekend. Wow just typing "fuel only $4.99"...

I took our boat in for service, when I picked it up it was covered, but I didn't notice the poles werent up. My bad, I travled 50 miles with the cover flapping. It now fits much looser. The poles will take up the slack, but they have to be adjusted higher than they were before. Not suggesting...

Wow, we are at $4.69 yesterday for 87 on the water and I thought that was bad.

Lucky for me we have ethanol free 87 and 91 fuel available here, because I won't put ethanol fuel in anything. Our 4 stroke Merc owners manual says don't use anything over 10% ethanol or damage may occur. I think there is a lot of people not paying attention to this issue and could run into...

It's hard to understand why people act the way they do sometimes. I applaud you for taking the high road, I don't know if I could have done that. Do have any idea what his motovation is? Isn't he kind of boxing out one side of his dock too?

Great looking boat. We love our 200hp Merc and yes it is quiet. What Hull do you have, ESP?

Drains the water out of the the back of the toon (motor well) fast when you come up on a plane.

I don't have Facebook, but my wife does. Last night she showed me this Bennington she saw in a post on the LOTO Facebook page. The owner had some front end panel damage and made these 1/8th inch stainless panels, painted them black and screwed then to the front of his boat. He said he is going...

FYI, Our 200hp V6 Merc tops out at 40mph, but we have the heavier ESP hull. The power and acceleration of the V6 is very good.

Higher, I didn't do the exact math, but it went from 70's to over 100k.
