I added a powered subwoofer to my GCW. I had a spot near the rear so I didn’t have to run everything to the helm. My sub allowed me to just tie into the nearest speaker wire so the installation went fairly quickly. Obviously, the wave shield complicates things but some folks on this site have...

Honestly, not a lot of good options unless you have a plenty of room on board. We have a Lillipad and an HO Sports Liquid Oasis, but I can’t imagine hauling either one around, but some folks do.

I’m pretty much in the minority, but although mine will do 40-41, it’s not very enjoyable to me and my guests on a sustained basis due to a lack of a windshield. However, if speed is a performance metric that is important to you, I’d go with the 350 because otherwise you’ll surely have...

My movable seat laid flat on the decking, which caused some minor molding over the course of the summer. As such, I purchased some rubber “feet” from HD which lifted it approximately a 1/2”, allowing air to circulate underneath. It pretty much eliminated the moisture problem and actually kept...

Wow, that’s quite impressive.Maybe you could print faxes for my doctors office.

Yup, a longer tri-toon will allow you to boat with little to no concern regarding weight distribution unless you’re on some really big water.

Congratulations on your retirement gift! I guess it depends on how you will use it, but based on your post, I doubt it’ll be primarily slow cruising. Options are nice, but if a boat doesn’t perform to your expectations, you’ll be reminded every time you go out. I also came from a premium...

Welcome Allen! She’s a beauty!! Ask away…

Welcome Bluemoose! Yes, there’s quite a bit of knowledgeable folks on this forum, so feel free to ask away. It’s interesting (at least to me) that it came with a SS prop, given the engine size. I have to believe that you’ll gain RPM simply by switching to an aluminum prop. As far as engine...

Do you fill up at a gas station/marina? If you do, slow is the way to go. If you fill from your own containers, try to keep the nozzle barely inserted. At least doing so seems to work well for me.

Not that I recommend it, over the July 4th weekend we had 14 folks on our boat and were still able to ski, wakeboard and tube. Giddy up!! Got to love that Verado…

Thanks for sharing!!

The unit comes in its own box and I just placed it in my port cabinet. It could go pretty much anywhere there’s room. This is not a “marine” unit but I’ve had no issues.

I installed a Rockford Fosgate powered sub five years ago and it’s still kicking it out. The advantage of a powered sub is that it’s easier to get power to it using a direct connection to your battery and you just tap into one speaker wire for the sound. This eliminates having to run wires to...

Ken is super knowledgeable. He recently helped my brother find the best prop for his particular situation, even though he didn’t carry said prop. He also helped me out in the past, even though it didn’t result in a sale for him.
