And away she goes. Decided to sell it since I haven't used it much in the last couple of years. I sold it for a few hundred more than I paid for it 11 years ago. Of course, I put some money into it, but I've done much worse on other boats I've owned. I advertised it on Craigslist and received...
My boat's specs are similar to yours, 2006 20' (2075 FSi), 23" tubes with the 50 hp Yamaha Thrust. A Quicksilver 14 x 11 prop gets me 21mph on flat water. My normal passenger load is 310 lbs. I've found that adding an additional 450 pounds of passengers cuts my speed nearly in half. The tubes...
Watched the first four seasons over the summer, then watched the 1883 prequel over the last month, stretching it out until S5 of Yellowstone started. 1883 was every bit as addictive as Yellowstone, and I'm looking forward to the other Yellowstone spinoffs set to come out, 1923 and 6666. Creator...
There is a 30' tritoon on our local lake that was originally purchased by a nature conservancy group as a floating classroom. It arrived in the early 2000's with two small electric motors and conventional lead-acid batteries. The recurring problem was it would go out early, then get caught in...
The closest place I can buy e-free is 60 miles away and sold as 101 octane race gas. I called them just out of curiosity and it's currently $9.99/gallon. Guess my 50hp motor is just gonna have to keep drinking the local swill.
I had just a few sections redone, what you see here plus a couple more cushions. Getting the matching oem material was a nightmare, but you won't have to deal with that if all of the interior is getting done. Seven yards of the correct material was $320. Labor at a local shop was $1078. All...
The only way to fix that amount of damage is to remove the end cap completely and hammer everything back into shape from the inside. The right guy could do a pretty good job, but it won't look as nice as a new log. It comes down to what level of insurance coverage you have and whether or not...
You might want to verify it's counting only when the engine is running. Mine came wired from the factory so the hour meter was counting time when the ignition was in the on position but the engine was off. Took me a while to realize that sitting in a cove listening to the stereo was adding false...
GE Advanced Silicone is pretty good, I use it on occasion, but if I want to REALLY stick things together I use E6800. This stuff is better than any other adhesive I have ever tried.

I was thinking you meant the stock windshield wasn't big enough, but looking at your pic I see there isn't one at all! I have an S-model as well (much older) and it came with a decent windscreen and a table. Are there holes in the helm to indicate a screen was there at some point? If so, I'm...
Nice engineering feature that the top end stays straight while the lower end below the waterline rotates for turns. It's a little strange though to see an outboard without a pee-and-tell stream while running.
I did mine completely. Even though I only boat on calm water I didn't like the thought of stuffing the bow through a wake and scooping water into an unskinned section, possibly tearing some panels loose. If you have the ability to diy this project yourself, why not do the whole thing? It's just...
To expand on that, the 200 hp 4 cylinder reaches a max torque rating of 257 Nm @ 5000 rpm. The 200 hp V6, with more rotational mass, reaches a max torque rating of 353 Nm @ 3300 rpm. When you consider the V6's ability to run a prop with more pitch for added passengers and/or tubing, the...
My '06 was purchased with damaged upholstery and one of the areas that needed repair was the small cushion in the back of the captain's chair. I was hoping to purchase just that particular skin but it wasn't available as a separate item. I was told I would have to purchase the entire seat to the...
