...hull bottoms that is, your perv you :D
This is a cross-forum post as the THT crowd is a bit fickle and pompous.... :rolleyes:
Most offshore fishing boats come with white hull bottoms even if the sides are a colored gel.
Other than convention, is there a performance or practical reason for...
This question is aimed more at the recreational boaters vs the fishermen, as the later most often choose an all white hull, and with good reason as I guess- easier to keep it looking clean. But IMHO white boats look soooo BORING!- no offense to those with one though- what ever floats it for ya...
Dealers have informed me that a couple of the models (out of several) I am considering have been discontinued for 2014.
Key West 225 DC is being replaced with a 219 and 239, and Sea Fox 236 Traveler being replaced with 226.
Does anyone have specs/info or pics of these new models?? There...
Re: Tubing tube?
After a brief delay at the launch (if yer boat don't start, first check the kill switch...), last weekend we had a blast on or maiden tubing trip!
To be repeated this weekend!
Thanks to all for the input. They love the Jolt!
Just last night I used a free sample sponge of this stuff on some stubborn discoloration on white vinyl, and holy cow did this stuff work well!! It took off brownish chronic grimie as well as aluminum smudges off of white vinyl quickly and made the uncleaned areas look dingy in comparison...
My boat is about 5 years old, 200 running hours (maybe 600 sun exposure hours?), garage kept, usually washed after every fresh water outing, always washed thoroughly every salt (infrequent) and with a marine or auto soap. It has been hand waxed maybe only 2 times, and I feel guilty! Though it...

Not sure is the right forum to put this in, so Admin feel free to punt me to where it should be :)
I'm looking for a tube for the kids. Not literally an automotive inner tube (do they make those anymore??) but one of the purpose built "sporting" tubes. Me- never done it. I'm a slalom skier...
A friend of mine has invited me to follow her out on a day of scalloping a couple weeks from now after putting in Homosassa. I've never been to this coast of Florida and am a bit timid. My understanding is that the channel leading out is safe and predictable, but once out in the grassy...
My 07 Regal's pretty blue color is getting scratched up from the fender being squished into it while docked, especially on the occasional overnighter when the wind blows her into the dock and I can't tie off to the other side. I tried to wax these fine lines out, and though it looked an bit...
SX-A drive
When in the shallows at idle speed, how high can I have her trimmed up for bottom clearance without damaging anything? (U- joint or gimbal?)
I have a pretty good ear for things, so might the sounds of things back there whilst trimmed way up tell me if I'm OK? Will I hear gravley or...
I'll probably get flamed for even mentioning them as many might consider them oversized PWCs and not "real boats", but they do seem to have some upsides, and downsides, that are hard for me to ignore when considering a new 22-24' bow rider/sport boat to be used primarily on a river or ICW, and...
This is why I should have done most if not all of my 100 hr service.
A month and a few outings after the service and just out of curiosity I pull the dipstick and find that there is no tip on it....and I can not determine what my oil level is.:facepalm:
I pull out my receipt and at the bottom of...
I found that my OEM Farina transducer had detached from the hull after experiencing erratic readings. The epoxy that it was glued down with is still completely adherant to the underside of transducer, just not the hull. It appears that the manufacturer had sprayed the inside of the hull with...
2007 Regal 2000 with 5.0 GXi J/SX-A that doesn't want to hold a steady cruising speed recently. I usually cruise a river and ICW at 25-30 mph ( my best fuel efficiency speed range) and depending on speed limits, but this last weekend once set there I kept slowly dropping speed- over several...
