I presently have a 2008 2520SLD with a 250 Yam. Am trying to find some one who has one with a 300 Yam or Suzuki to see what the gain is? I have to run hard to get 25 mph cruise, especially in heavy chop. Would like to cruise 25 without running 4800rpm. I fish the bay and ocean out of Virginia...

You are right , it is the same thing as Fluid Film. Looks the same and smells the same. I can buy it at my John Deere dealer in a spray can or by the gallon at a fraction of the cost of Woody Wax.

I had the same problem on my 2008. My problem was the spring loaded check ball behind the handle that clicks the gearshift handle in to neutral so you do not miss neutral and go in to reverse was binding up. I just took out the spring and the check ball and that was the end of that problem. Mine...

I fish out of Virginia Beach. I fish the ocean from Dec. on. I do not make long runs offshore, so I am not a good one to tell you. You have to remember that with a Pilot House you are seated far forward while in the pilot house so no matter what the hull deadrise is you do get a much rougher...

I have a 2008 2520SLD pilot house deep v.

I have the 2520SLD 21degree hull and would not trade it for the MV hull. I fish it all from LTJ to trolling to eeling,. Bay and Ocean. I keep it in Lynn-Haven in the Hi and Dry at Virginia Beach so I do see all water conditions. With the 9.6 beam I do not think the boat rolls while drifting. JMO

I keep my boat in the Hi & Dry at Lynn Haven Marine so I never have to decide to stop fishing all winter. Sure keeps me from getting depressed.

I have owned 4 of them. Never a problem. A great unit. I now have a 10in. navnet which operates much like the 1850. One of the best units they ever made IMO

I have a Raymarine 6000sg1 and am very happy with it. Don't know what I would do without it.

I normally hate to complain but I purchased a new 2008 2520 in the spring. I have used the boat about 6 times and I am a neat and clean freak. my screws have rust my railings have rust around the bases, my boarding ladder has rust, my cleats have rust, my door latch is already corroding. I am...

The boat was not a special order other than the seating in the cabin. I have only run the boat enough to get the 20 hr. check. I know with just 2 people and half fuel and 10hrs the boat did break 40 mph at 6000rpm with a single 250 yam.

Parker, yes there are 2 seats. They moved the pedistal seat on the port side forward enough for me to get the box seat with tackle drawers behind the pedistal. The port side pedistal is front further than the starboard seat. Since on the 2520SLD there is no bulkhead on the port side you can move...

Maxed Out, it is a 2008

kidcochiese, No I cut out the carpet the same size as the rod rack. Cleaned the glue off the hull with thinner and used Marine Text to attatch to the hull. I had to use a ratchet brace to keep pressure on the rack for about 18 hrs to ,make sure it was cured and it worked great. I actually got...

I have finally finished mt boat. Custom rod racks, tackle chest built by a friend of mine out of starboard who is a design engineer. My problem is I need someone to post my pictures. I can e-mail them to someone if they could post them. He did a great job on the chest and the rod racks. She...
