Thanks guys,.. yes it is just to the side of the keel, we left the boat at the slip for a month following the mishap and no signs of leakage. Dealer did pressure check and said no leaks,.. he has seen much worse, but it is a newer boat and he hasn't had much luck repairing damaged toons...

22SSRX 2016 model I had a mishap last fall while unloading from trailer at dock. I told the wife to drive the truck and trailer out of the water to soon. The current pushed the boat sideways and I ended up catching the right rear guide denting the center pontoon. Wondering if I should replace...

I purchased our 2016 SSRX with 115 hp, express tube and tandem trailer for 31k in October of 2015. Went in to local dealer at the beginning to get prices first price quoted was 25% off Msrp at 34K. Then went shopping at other dealers a ways away prices were @15-20% off. First local dealer...

Started out in 1988 working in a food wholesaling warehouse making good money till 1999 when place went under. While working there I bought a small farm in 1994 (55 acres) and farmed with my new wife until 2011 when we sold out we owned 400 acres and custom farmed another 600-700. From their we...

I have a 2016 22ssrx and have the Kicker speaker upgrade, with factory Sony stereo. Installed from factory are 2 Kicker 6 in speakers in foot well of  front bunks and 1 in lower helm area and 1 in lower area by passenger seat. Like the way they sound but not much sound can be heard from the rear...

I've been having the same off idle vibration/humming noise from my 4 blade also. What part are you packing with grease? I didn't put any on the shaft when I installed the prop and shaft was dry. 

My first place I purchased was a small farm and had a 1970 mobile home 14 by 70ft. My brother who was renting from me would not let the appraiser in. When I got the tax adjustment I was floored he valued the trailer at 25 thousand. I went to the open book and complained appraiser said he...

I have had this happen to me also, went to refi from 25 yr to 15 yr mortgage. I had done stuck a lot of work and money in the place, blacktop drive, new shop, deck ect. Bank appraiser didn't think much of the shop, 1850 sq ft finished, built in cabinets radiant heat ..it's really nice. Shop...

From the previous post, I had added a few things 4 Blade prop, shark hide and new ski tow bar. The new Spitfire 4 blade prop I was running was a great improvement over the 3 blade Black Max. The speed between the two props didn't change much if at all, still 32 mph, but the RPM's were a...

Ordered this 22 ssrx last Oct 2015. We had the maiden voyage on May 10th this year, bottom pic on trailer. Since then I had it at marina slip in Mississippi water. I pulled it out last weekend to due some cleaning I figured it was due since performance was starting to suffer.. I Stopped at...

Been out with the wife and child and performance has been ok. 32-34mph 5800-6000rpm Today however we loaded the tritoon down to its max 12 person 1650 pounds, it seamed the prop was slipping consistently didn't matter where people moved on boat. I could not trim up the motor at all had to...

Bingo!! Being upside down on a depreciating asset is financial suicide, Its bad enough to pay for new purchase but then to have to pay for the sold/traded asset that someone else is enjoying...OMG 5 yrs max or until warrantee runs out IMO

I second the Terra Pump. I have one that I use to transfer fuel from two 5 gallon cans. Works good I set them on the floor behind passenger seat and take off connector on the end of the fuel hose so it will go all the way in the new enviro style fuel neck and pump away...

I believe that the prop bennington is recommending for our boats is the correct one. It will be the same diameter and pitch as the 150's use. Because the lower gear ratio is 2.38-1  I was able to reach 32 mph @5500 rps with 4 adults an 3 kids on rougher waters. With wife and I alone we were...

Hi Jando, I think that is way to much gas used for just 4.5 hrs. I have basically the same boat as yours. 2016 ssrx 115 mercury CT. We have been out last fri, sat, and sunday on the Mississippi river, I started with full tank and currently have 6hrs and fuel gauge shows slightly over 1/4...
