    2014 2575RCWB Bimini problem. request photos?

    We have a 2014 2550 QCB with dual Bimini, but the straight as opposed to curved, Bimini frame.  My boat is currently in the shop because of the same/similar problem.  The second Bimini support bar actually sags downward, pulling the cover down into a "V" at that spot.  My dealer is working with...

    Anyone care to help me spend my $$??

    Earlier this year, my dealer was also having problem setting the SWS stainless props from Yamaha.  I was told March, then April, then June, etc.. then, I was reading Pontoon & Deckboat Magazine and they had an article on Yamaha outboards and how great their SWS props were.  So, I wrote to the...

    Estimated cost to add wave shield

    I did this on my previous boat.  It was a tritoon and I just got aluminum sheets (.025   I think).  I got 4 sheets.  One set of 2 for the port side (between the port pontoon and the center pontoon) and one set of 2 for the starboard side.  Each sheet was about 10' long and about 30" wide.  The...

    LIST YOUR SPECS HERE

    UPDATE (2016-06-19) While I was driving up to our lake home on Friday evening, I received an email from my dealer saying my props were in!  I had two props I wanted to try.  The first was the 15.75" x 15 pitch SWS II SDS prop, and the second was the 15.5" x 17 pitch SWS II SDS prop. Boat...

    Designer Vinyl Flooring

    We have the seagrass.  We LOVE it for cleanup, and staying new looking no matter what hits it.  BUT, there is a period in the day when the sun is directly overhead that the floor gets very hot, so hot that I usually put my flip-flops on to walk on it.  It's only for a couple of hours at the...

    Handy hints, gadgets, products, gizmos & ideas...

    We do the exact same thing that TCPIP does.  Been doing it for three years now.  Started with a different brand, but now use that exact floating cooler holder.  We use a 24-can AO cooler , and throw it in there.  It's smaller than the hole in the float, so it leaves plenty of room for trash and...

    Refreshment Table with Cooler

    I had one of these on the boat I had before my Bennington (Sweetwater).  I liked it a lot and used it all the time.  There were drawbacks to Sweetwater's design though.  It had a plastic cooler insert in the table, and the cup holders were part of the lid, so when you lifted the lid, you had to...

    2550 GSR & Yamaha 250 SHO

    I have a 2550 QCB with the 25" 250 SHO engine.  I currently have a PowerTech stainless steel prop (14.25" x 15), but I am still awaiting the Yamaha prop that I really want.  Apparently, the SS Yamaha props have been on back order for months.  They should be in about now, but I haven't heard yet...

    Used Benny

    Yeah, we're pretty happy with out setup with the bar. We day boat frequently (never overnight) and my wife likes to spread out all the fixins' when we eat, but those small removable tables that most boats have just didn't cut it.  We needed a place to mix drinks, set out food, and cook.  This...
