    To sell or not too

    Life selling fishing reels, could be the only thing better then flying planes in the Caribbean!! I read some of your posts, give me a PM one of these days, my family has a business and we ship from China, if that is where you are making them. Thanks for the potential offer :).

    To sell or not too

    The USCG has too many pilots :( . My extended active duty contract expires this summer and cannot be renewed right now. So I am hitting the job market, but as you know, it's rough out there... This is the first time since I was 16, that I have not had a job lined up. So I am unfortunately...

    Trailering 2120 or 2320

    My 2320 is is 7200 lbs @ the trailer axels and about 400 @ the tung. Yes, you could tow it with a 1/2 ton but not wise. When you need to make an emergency lane change or panic stop, then your going to wish you had at least a 3/4 ton truck.

    keep up on your fuel!!!

    I fish the keys often now with my brother, who also owns a 25 parker in Marathon. Yes I was religious about changing the spin on, and the last time I changed it, was half full of water!! After four hours on the new filter, I changed that, was about a quarter full of water!!! So I may have...

    keep up on your fuel!!!

    No I was not using marine gas, and yes I was using the yami 10 micron. Not sure if I am going to switch to eth free fuel. Really is only a problem if you don't use the boat. I am now in Florida, so I think she will run a lot. Still either a strict regiment of ring free and some eth...

    keep up on your fuel!!!

    I just wanted to let my $1500 experience be a channel marker to others. Did not get to use the boat a lot this past year and got a stabilizer in the fuel too late. Even after I changed all the filters and spark plugs, I still clogged and fouled everything with the bad fuel!! I had to have all...

    2530...........twin outboards or diesel

    Personally I am a fan of a well maintained down east single diesel hull. Most of your commercial applications are in this set up. The ride is usually better due to a lower center of gravity and semi displacement planing vs a full planing hull. Usually more efficient in a comparable size...

    Kicker Ideas

    I have a 9.9 on my 2320, gives me about 5-5.5 knots (hull speed) great little engine and a bit of piece of mind while offshore. It is attached to the main with a tie bar and rigged with a second control in the pilot house.

    Aluminum I Bean or Galvanized

    I traded the piece of crap trailer the boat dealer sold when I bought my boat me at loadmaster (I will never let a dealer sell me a trailer again!!!). Loadmaster gave me enough to knock the $$ down and lower the taxable amount for the new trailer. They swapped the boat in the yard and set the...

    Aluminum I Bean or Galvanized

    Go disk!! Electric over hydraulic if u can put the $$$ into it. I have never had a set of surge brakes that have worked more then a few years. Some of the other guys mentioned LED. That is also worth the $$ as conventional lights will fail and the LED, well my LED' are still perfect after two...

    Aluminum I Bean or Galvanized

    Go Aluminum with all stainless hardware!!! You will pay for it, but it will be a lot cheaper in the long haul. I paid about 5k for the Aluminum trailer under my 2320, but I had them custom build it with I beams from the next larger trailer, 5200 lbs torsion axels, and electric over hydraulic...
