    2008 350Mag MPI brass water pump

    I used my boat for 2.5yrs and has 86hrs on it so I decided I better change the water pump impeller. I pulled the pump off to find the pulley side seal had popped out and the housing was severly worn. The bearings were obviously damaged during assembly and now the shaft is slightly worn. I've...

    Larson Boat decals

    Hey just thought I'd throw a post out here. I have a guy that makes my decals and had him make some Larson Boats decals they turned out awesome I need to get a pic up here of them. He can make them in any size or color and he's super reasonable.

    Anyone have a bravo 3 on their LXI 228??

    Just curious if anyone else had a B3 on their 228 with a 350 mag. I've got 26p props on mine right now and can turn round 5050rpm so have toyed with the idea of moving up to a 28p to lower my rpm while keeping good speed. However I'd only do this when we go on our long river trips for water...

    Chevy Duramax or Dodge Cumins????

    Well we've been working a quite a bit of overtime at work this spring and I think I've decided to pull the plug and buy a new "rig". I've been going back and forth whether to buy a chevy duramax or dodge cumins. One downfall of the dodge is their crew cab back seat isn't as large as chevy's. And...

    Securing Bravo 3 for transport

    Instead of hijacking the other guys thread I figured I'd start my own. I've been wondering how poeple recommend securing a bravo 3 for transport since I frequent lakes 120-200 miles away. On my old boat with an alpha one I used those plastic peices that went over the rams but didn't know if...
