Don't know what kind of benny was in that ad pic but I do know that the red head was HOT chi mama !!

It is indeed Carl....2 fishing seats and live well in back ! So the "Fi" simply stands for fishing R model ?

Bored at doctors office and google searches nor does 3 character searches here work.... What does RFi on my 2009 2577 mean ?

glad you asked, reminds me to try and remember where I put it

Seriously looking forward to applying more elbow grease and TLC to our benny. Having bought in mid sept, We got to spend only about 3 wks playing/working on her. Previous owners did not keep it covered much and spider/bug junk was all over her. With all the good suggestions by all you folks on...

Wanting to start with a clean slate if you will, We chose to change all filters, plugs, lower unit fluids, impeller....etc but I feel confident the pressure washing\acid wash of the heavy algae\crap buildup was the key to the mph increase. The pic above is about an hour before We took her to the...

As a 6 month owner of a benny or any boat for that matter, I'm definetly a green horn and the following made my day but would be boring to most. Had maintenance performed this past week and clean toons made me smile :) Taking toon to ramp last monday, wot had me at 5900rpm\29mph. A good...

Way back when, never could decide if I wanted to dock my toon next to Mary Ann or Ginger :)

Thanks for the replys....this is a 2009 2577 RFi. Will chat with my dealer this am when picking up toon in case he has a crimping tool. After doing more searching, not sure I care to purchase a crimping tool just for this one project. The pocket/sleeve is not that big of a deal it appears after...

Playpen cover has four poles with three grommet holes for three of the poles. The front pole slides into a fabric sleeve BUT I would like to find the right grommet to place in the canvas fabric for the front pole. Any thoughts\comments appreciated !

Does the girth of these pylons or whichever direction this is going, come into play !!

No anchors thrown my way but We enjoyed 70 today and predicted to be mid 70's tomorrow. Had the toon out a bit but it's coming out of water Wed for Boat shop to do maintenance and acid wash toons.

I'll have to take your word for it, haven't got my eyes off front of boat yet B)

While I do understand, it is going to be hard for me when the grandkids come(10, 9 and 7 months) to not let them eat pretty much whatever. This is not only our first toon but they only come once, maybe twice a year and Paw will just have to clean up after them :)   

According to 60 minutes tonight, Amazon claims to offer everything :) As for trimming the toon, appreciate the comments and suppose I was overthinking what one would need to do to accomplish max performance. Looks like it's going to be a long winter waiting to get that toon going again :blink:
