    T - Top for my CC Fishmaster folding top?

    Been looking around for a t-top for my new Sea Pro 206. Local venders who make the custom tops are waaay too expensive. Lowest I was quoted was about 3500.00 . I saw a very nice looking t-top on ebay for the price of only 1200.00 and looks to be of very decent quality. Its called the...

    I'm such a land lover

    I took my new 08' Sea Pro 206 out on its first fishing trip with my buddy. Had some fun later in the day, but in the morning at about 7am, the swells were kinda big and I got sea sick:( We were close to the La Jolla kelp beds, about one mile west of the kelps. I didn't even last 10 minutes...

    Purchased a Daiwa Saltist stt50, anyone own one?

    Ended up purchasing a Saltist 50. My buddy has been raving about his Saltist 40 everytime I see him, so I decided to try it. I had a Tica st568 and was a great reel, very beefy and well made. Ended up selling that. I also have an Okuma c55 trolling reel, which is ok, but I have a brand new...

    Trophy 1903cc price am I getting screwed??

    I guess there is a high demand for the 1903cc, no dealers have a new one around here. There is one sitting at the factory shrink wrapped ready to ship any day now and I have a refundable deposit already on it. But I can change my mind anytime. While waiting for this 2008 1903 (which I have...

    Mounting a transducer without drilling holes

    I purchased a new Raymarine DS400x fishfinder/gps. I got the one with the transom mount transducer. I don't want to drill holes in my transom. Is there some type of glue for marine applications? Any other ideas would be great.

    Took the boat out for the first time

    The 1986 outboard merc150 ran pretty good. I was very impressed for how smooth it ran for a 20 year old motor. The thing I did notice was, at the end of three hours of boating around was that when I put it in reverse to dock it, it would stall. Did it twice but then never did it again. I...

    Fuel line size

    Wow, finally got this '86 merc 150 running! I went through hell getting this thing started. Ended up having bad gas. Anyway, I replaced the fuel tank, filter and line. I installed 1/4'' line because that's what was on there, but the repair manual I purchased stated 3/8 or 5/16 fuel line is...
