    New Crestliner Owner, Eagle 2450

    well, i've officially joined the crestliner family, my first one actually. i've owned some trackers and starcraft boats in the past. just bought a new-to-me crestliner eagle 2450 about a month ago. i haven't been able to put it in the water yet, had shoulder surgery and have had to do some work...

    Islander Top Conversion, Soft top to Hard top

    i've been searching for a newer hardtop islander for quite some time but haven't been able to find one in good enough shape. recently, the 220v model has caught my eye, the outboard bracket model. it'd be great to have an outboard instead of an i/o, but i just don't want a bimini/curtains...

    96 Islander 221 with Merc. 3.0lx

    hey all. question for any of the islander or chieftain owners out there with the 3.0lx merc. i'm looking at a 96 islander 221 hardtop with this motor in it. ideally, i'd much prefer to have the 4.3 v6, which is much more common, but i haven't been able to find too many hardtops. anyway, i was...

    So I have these rudders...

    they're steering related so i figured i'd post this here. found these 2 rudders while cleaning out an estate. i grabbed em for scrap, but figured they could be useful for someone's project, i just don't know anything about them or if they're even worth anything. they're made by dahmer marine...

    Installing new fishfinder in my 2010 PG V16

    just picked up a lowrance hds 5 for my boat. has anyone installed a new transducer in theirs? I'm wondering if i can remove the deck panels to run it, or if there's a tube that runs up to the console that i can fish it through?

    Could a SC be turned into a WT?

    i have a 2010 pro guide v16 side console. if i had it to do over again, i would've bought a walk through with the full glass. i love the boat, and i don't want to trade it in or anything so i was wondering if it was possible to buy the port side console along with the glass. think a dealer could...

    2010 PG V-16 Rod locker latches

    mine don't work very well at all. they're just not secure.. i could rip the thing open with 1 hand easily when it's latched. there's a little tab on the inside where the latching arm should engage. those tabe are nearly straight up. should they be horizontal? i tried bending them a little bit...

    Minn Kota PowerDrive V2 Foot Pedal

    just got a new boat that came with this trolling motor. i like the motor, but i hate the foot pedal. to steer it, you have to hit the pedal side to side instead of a heel-toe motion. so you steer it, then move your foot over to hit the go button. steer, go, steer, go. so the motor is constantly...

    2010 Pro Guide V-16, Need a cover!

    just picked up my new boat. it came with the white transportation cover, but it doesn't fit well at all with the windshield on. so, i need a good, waterproof cover. the trolling motor on the bow hangs over the end quite a ways so i have doubts about a "universal" or "semi-custom" cover fitment...
