    I have a 2001 Mercury 150 XL Carb Saltwater 2 cycle, I change the water pump and thermostats every year. How often should I change the water hoses to the thermostats and to the "pee" hole? Also how often do you change the fuel line and squeeze ball? Thanks John

    Atlantic City Boat Show - Trophy Pricing

    My 2001 Trophy 2002 WA is a great little fishing boat. It Listed New for about 28,500 with Trailer and Options. I was surprised to see that the new 2102 is now "show-priced" at $50K. Guess I will be keeping my 2002 for awhile!

    Bayliner 185 - 4.3 2004 Model

    I recently bought a 2004 Bayliner 185 with the 4.3L engine. Since its winter here in NJ, I couldn't do an in-water test on the boat. Since its a bayliner the price was definately right. I would like any feed back on this model, both pros and cons.<br />The boat was a leftover, not used.<br...
