I just bought a 21 ft Suntracker party barge. Where can I find the specs on this boat? It's got a 60 hp Johnson, but I can't figure out how much fuel the fuel tank holds or any other info on it. Any ideas?

Try the Suntracker web site. It shows all the dimentions. Newer 21's carry 42 gal. tanks, but older ones, usually 30 gal. good luck !!!

That may be what I have. Here's another question. How can I determine a fair value for my boat for insurance reasons? It's in good shape and I think I got it for a song at $3800.00. I've seen some in rough shape asking for a lot more than that?

This is a picture of my toon, it was in a covered lift and owned by a retired couple. There wasn't a mark or tear on it anywhere

wow, that looks great. Mine no longer has the original furniture, so I'm glad to see what it looks like. I have a 1993 21' party barge.

I have another question. The steering wheel is hard to turn when under way. I know there is a greese tube attached under the dash. Does that need greese added from time to time? Or is there another area that may need attention?

How does the engine turn when out of the water, the same? It's probably the tube back by the outboard that the steering cable goes to, needs to be cleaned and repacked. Is it hard in both directions?

Have you tried to grease the fitings on the steering cable/linkage? Also on the outboard?

Make sure that you use the blue marine grease, I got some at walmart in a pinch it was really good and cheap also

Scratch the above you can use the blue marine grease but it doesn't need to be, for some reason I was momentarily
thinking of trailer wheel bearings

I'll work on that this weekend when I get the boat out of the shop. At $85 per hour, I'll do it myself. I got good news from the shop today. They found a bad plug and wire. Everything else is ok. No more stalling when I come out of gear.

Re: 1993 suntracker party barge 21

The ramp that I launch from is not steep, so when I back in with my truck tires in the water the toons are still not ready to float off. I have to muscle the boat off the trailor. Any suggestions besides finding a better ramp to help with this problem? Anything I can do or add to the trailer to help?
