Thanks for the info Bill. Can you provide me with a source for fuel, air and oil filters? Are you running your raw water directly thru the outdrive or is it split up with a thru hull port? The package I am dealing with is a closed loop fresh water system with the raw water coming directly from...

Surprised with todays economy, my boat was sold today at very close to asking price. Thanks all Tom

Thank You Tom

Due to unfortunate health issues I am putting up my boat for sale. Below is a brief synopsis of the boat. If you use the search engine, a complete pictorial of the boat building is shown. 2007 Steiger Craft Miami 2007 Suzuki with 130 hours. All service and maintenance is documented in a log...

I would pull the boat and make any necessary repairs. Good rule of thumb is to close down all seacocks when boat is not in use. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Tom

Looking for a source for maintenance parts for a 4.2 Merc Cruiser Diesel. Filters, impellers etc. Any one have a supplier in mind? Had been using a dealer in New Jersey and now his prices have gone through the roof. Example, raw water pump impeller is now $80.00. Ouch Thanks Tom

My new 6000i Northstar came delivered with the antenna end packaged seperatly, the reasoning was that running the cable would be easier. Piece of cake to connect. I also would check with Garmin. Good Luck Tom

Try posting over at ClassicMako.com There are a few people looking for the 224 model. Tom

The owner of the house where I dock my boat has a 2510 with the diesel I/O option. Great power and as said top speed in the low to mid 30 range. Fuel econony is somewhere around 5-6 GPH cruising. The engine is the D-Tronic Mercriuser model connected to a Bravo 3 outdrive. maintenance is really...

That is true. The last year for the I/O option was in 2002.

After looking at the boat in the backyard this morning, I decided to take a ride and look at the beautiful area that we hold to so dearly here in New York. This is the entrance to Gull Pond where I keep the boat docked in Greenport. This is the town ramp inside Gull Pond This is the...

Does the heat, defroster and A/C work? Colors a little off but the concept is good. Tom

Fish Montauk all the time. With the 23 Mako no problem without the power knob and now in the 23 Steiger with a power knob built into the wheel, and still no problem. Its all how the boat is operated. To each his own. Tom

Actually, the last model year for the diesel option was 2002. The owner of the house where I dock my boat has a 2510 with the diesel option. Great boat with a great ride along with minimal fuel consumption. Tom

This is what a Fisher canvas looks like on a 23 foot pilot house. Could not be happier. Good Luck Tom
