    Mid 90s (‘95)Four Winns vs mid 90s(‘96) Monterey bow riders

    Resale/depreciation concerns went away 15 years ago on those boats. Mid tier maybe, but means nothing if they are trashed, or have hidden damage. Current condition, maintenance history, engine / outdrive condition and recent service are what you need to know. Post links to the ads of the boats...

    Good Tow Vehicle ? - Tow Rating ?

    What do you think the tow rating would be on this vehicle? Seems it would make a nice over nighter for those weekend fishing trips. https://www.ebay.com/itm/354538356784?hash=item528c220030:g:ob8AAOSw7fVjyBRQ

    cockpit enclosure

    Well, there aren't any just sitting in a warehouse. Local canvas shop or marina. If you don't have the framework, they can make that too.

    Winch post on boat trailer

    Looks to me like your port side front rollers are higher. Starboard side are lower. If so, that would cause the boat to load to starboard side of trailer.

    Honda RPM gage signal voltage

    I believe your tach only responds to the number of pulses produced by the stator. So as rpm increase, pulses increase, tachometer responds. Yes voltage may change, and amps will increase as rpm increase, but its the pulses that are counted.

    Impeller replacement schedule

    It may look new, but replace it anyway. They always look new, until they don't. Run your motor through a bunch of sand and the impeller may only last a few hours.

I have seen some ridiculously off numbers for 35-40 year old boats, way low, or way overvalued. Or 25 year old boats in the $5000 price range. Then take a look at 5 year...

    You can’t trust NADA or the dealer. Nada is based on reported dealer sales and possibly trade-ins , so a very small data sample for any particular boat model, with likely inflated values The dealer uses the inflated values to justify their price. Boat prices fluctuate greatly from season to...

    Christmas 2022 will be coldest in over 30 years

    If the AC freezes in the wires, it will become DC. For a few bucks more, why not install a frost valve spigot?
