As said above, PRACTICE. What I try to do is come in at idle in gear and then neutral, a little up wind and let the wind position the boat. When partially in, and the stern gets out of position just turn the engine in that direction and then just bump reverse and then neutral to bring the stern...

I am not sure that I totally agree with the need for bunks to support the tubes. The reason I am saying this is have you ever driven passed your dealer or any toon dealer and seen how their inventory is stored? A few will have boats sitting on trailers, but most will just have them sitting on 4...

Congrats on the new boat. Very good looking boat. You will enjoy it. We purchased a very similar boat this year, 22 SSRXP with a 115 Yamaha. We should be taking delivery next week. We can't wait. Again wanting the weather to warm a little. There is a lot of information available on this site and...

My local Floe dealer has a lift that has a canopy-top framework that looks to have about a 30 inch side curtain that will cover your play pen. What is interesting/nice is that one end has what looks like hydraulic lifts that will raise the aft end of the canopy. This will allow boats/pontoons...

It looked like tape. Sorry to hear that the label pulled off. Wonder if the other one is the same? Maybe you can contact Bennington for a wiring diagram, it might be listed on the print or at least a discription. Did you try and remove the label from the tape? Paper or vinyl? Can you get light...

I know its a credit, not cash. When I mentioned it to finance manager at the dealership when we signed the papers I was kind of blown off and was told that it was the added 2 years or the "up to" $500 based on MSRP. As we signed the papers last week, with holding some money until we get a...

Maholli Is your wrap done to the just the outside of your tubes and just the transom? Looks good. Might be a possibility when the shark hide needs to be replaced. The up front cost might be better than elbow grease needed every couple of years to remove and reapply. I don't mind the work...

I think your dealer would be the last people you would want to do the install. Think about what it cost to have service work done at your dealer. There are lots of sign shops out there that are doing it, just find a good one. If you had your dealer do it they would go to a sign shop to have the...

Good Luck Jeff. I have not had this type of surgery, but I tend to agree that you will be OK to use the boat. You might not be there at the start of the season but after a couple of weeks ib, you'll be out barking orders. I think if you are a anything like me, you'll be starting your PT on your...

Has anyone taken advantage of this warranty this year for their engine? What I am wondering about is the "up to $500 dealer credit. Has your dealer been forth coming with this portion of the program What kind of dealer cash did you receive? Just as an FYI, the warranty program has been...

We offically ordered our boat on 2/1/19, started several days before at the Milwaukee boat show. Our boat arrived at the dealer on 3/4. We have a pick-up date on 5/14 as we have a lot going on, ice on the lakes up north, and new trailer should arrive by then. As much as we want the boat ASAP...

Jonny Mac, Did you ever get your problem sorted? Looking at your picture, was/is that electrical tape wrapped around the caps to keep the "flasher relay" from vibrating out? If it is, mavbe there is a part number or discription under the tape.

Thoughts and prayers for you Carl and your family.

Boat was delivered to the dealer last Friday. Rigging should be in about a month, back log. I was back in the service area several weeks ago and they weren't moving very fast. Bob

Got a call from my dealer last Friday that our new boat was delivered, not bad for ordering the boat on Feb 1. I was told that the boat would be rigged in about a month due to a back log. This is OK with me as the trailer won't be here until at least the end of the month, I would have ordered...
