Well, if the prop is coming out of the water, for whatever reason, it is going to be really loud. And you are going to have a much bigger problem than loud. But I assume you know this.

Used to rent toons years ago with a 150hp Honda. Loud as crap. Like a buzz. Our boat has a Mercury 250hp V8, and it's silent. Idling, have to look to see if it's running.

It's ridiculous to lose sleep over the use of suntan lotion on boats. Just don't stand on the boat and start SPRAYING sunscreen. Cover your seats with towels, and lotion is then nothing to worry about. If I couldn't use it, I would have to sell our boat. Never, ever a problem on ours. We use...

I think we all saw this coming as boat sales from 3 or 4 years ago could not be sustainable. Just read a couple articles yesterday talking about the over stock of boats now and the inability to sell them at any price. And used boat owners looking to sale are especially hard hit right now.

I have a Deluxe Yacht Club trailer with all the bells and whistles. Bunk style, dual axle, radials, poly wrapped bunks, disc brakes, galvanized, hand rails, led lights, center bunk, etc.. With the 250 HP Mercury hanging off the back, it is easily 34 feet long end to end. The trailer itself is...

I said SOME manufacturers have territorial sales restrictions and didn't necessarily call out Bennington and what they do and don't do. Just something to watch out for. I have experienced it first hand. Some dealers abide by the rules, and some don't at the risk of losing the dealership. "We...

The Rock on High Rock is 20-30% off, all day, every day, but they might not sell to you with other dealers in your area. Dealership protection rights with some manufacturers. Their newest dealership up at SML is incredible. LOT of boats. Big place. Much bigger than High Rock. I can't remember...

We looked at the M Series at the Greensboro boat show recently. Very impressed. Beautiful boat. We added rear fencing and the lillipad ladder to our boat last summer. Grandkids was one reason. And, in Virginia, it's against the law to ride back there rear facing, while moving, if no fencing or...

Ha !

You are going to want a 10 x 10 door minimum. That's what mine is. And it's fine with bimini down in trailering position. Not overly roomy, but fine. And 40 feet long. 35 feet would be crowding it.

Fire the Bears coach today. Never seen such stupidity.

Love the black, grey, red sport model, but betting it cost a pretty penny.

For what it's worth. I waterproofed my cover with Starbrite, and for the 6 months mine sat outside with the cover on it, it never got a drop of water under the cover. My cover has 4 vents, so ventilation was never a problem either. But I don't cover mine at all since fall of 22. It's in a fully...

Do you already have a cover ? Treat it with the Starbrite waterproofing liquid. That's what many of us do.
