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.

Check out Spicer’s Boat City in Houghton Lake. They have a loaded up 2023 24’ RTFBA with a 300 Merc for $120K.

Sweet! Thanks for sharing and let us know what you think after she splashes.

I can tell you that back in the old days batteries were not in battery boxes. They’re also not in most cars or on my golf cart. That said, maybe someone much more knowledgeable will have an actual answer as to why or why not they should be in one. I’m thinking that it might have something to do...

I have a similar issue filling my tank but what I found is that if I barely insert the nozzle it works fine (I fill dockside using a battery powered pump). Otherwise, it keeps shutting off.

My 2016 fuel gauge acted up last season, leaving me stranded but still showing over a third of a tank. I removed the fuel sensor rod and played around with it manually, sliding the sensor up and down and watching the gas gauge. It seemed to be working, so I kept a close eye on it. However, it...

Welcome Dobieg! Yup, putting on and removing the full cover is a PITA, but if you want to protect your investment to the fullest extent, that’s the way to go. However, like Laurence, when we were in a marina, if the weather forecast was appropriate, I’d leave the cover off if we were using it...

Ask ChatGPT. It’s pretty amazing what it comes up with.

It sounds like you have put a good deal of thought into how you’ll use it, so kudos to you! There’s definitely nothing wrong with a slow cruise (my favorite!). As far as whether it’s a deal, I can’t help you answer that, but several folks have lent their thoughts. In the end, it’s only a deal...

While I appreciate your “cash only” mentality, I wonder if you’ll really be happy with the boat. Four to six regular occupants will strain that 90 HP engine unless you truly don’t mind a leisurely ride. However, you mentioned kids and tubing, which won’t be very exciting.

Unfortunately, in Michigan anyone who was born prior to 1996 is not required to have a boater’s license. That also explains the number of boat owners that have no clue how to properly operate one.

I’d contact a good local canvas repair shop.

Wow, what a bummer. That said, if you can’t walk (and it sounds like you can’t), have the dealer put the repairs in writing and have them completed in the offseason.
