First bonito of the season!

I have a couple of questions to throw out. A gull decided to set up a condo on my bow, and the crap stains are real stubborn. Any good products out there to get rid of them? I tried regular soap, but it left alot to be desired. Second question regards the oil level in my 4 stroke Yamaha 150...

Was wondering what most of you find is your optimal RPM cruising speed. I usually run my 150 four stroke at 3400, but crank it up once each trip to 4500.

Anybody pull up to a gas dock recently? If so, I was curious as to the price. I haven't fueled my Parker up yet, but it won't be pretty.

It's getting to be that time of year again. This time, I want to compound and wax the hull on my 21SE. Any product suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Played with some "baby' bluefin tuna in the 200 lb. range yesterday off of Orleans on Cape Cod. I should say they played with us, since we were only equipped with spinning rods and 15 lb. test. Once hooked, you're almost spooled within 15 seconds. It was fun though. All the stripers were...

The deck of my 21SE has a load of black spots on it. I have no idea how they got on there, but regular soap doesn't touch it. It looks like the fiberglass absorbed it. It looks like ink or dirty oil and I scrubbed it a few times today without success. Any ideas on a formula that may work...

I've had my 2007 21SE in the water now for 5 weeks. I noticed today that the stainless steel surrounding one of the rod holders was getting a freckled rust appearance on it. Is this a sign of bad stainless? It will come off with some ss cleaner, but since the boat only has 20 hrs. on her, I...

I was told today that ethanol will destroy a fiberglass fuel tank within a 10 year span. Does anyone know what the tank construction is on a 2007 Parker 21SE? He also mentioned that ethanol will not affect plastic or stainless tanks. Thanks.

For Xmas, my sister gave me a gift certificate for Bass Pro Shops. They've just opened a store in Foxboro, next to Gillette Stadium. It is quite the place with everything under the sun. Only drawbacks were that they were light on flyfishing and the prices seemed to be on the high side. They...

I'm looking into installing tim tabs on my 21SE. The dealer carries the Lenco product. Any feedback on these tabs would be appreciated.

I have a Yamaha F150. Is it important to put an additive to the fuel to counteract the effects of ethanol?

Any thoughts on the 21SE with or without trim tabs? I don't have them on mine, but haven't been out yet in any real slop and haven't had many people aboard. My friend was telling me that he thought the 2007 SE came standard with tabs, but the dealer says no.

Just bought a new 21SE with a F150 OB. I flyfish salt around the RI area and it's perfect for what I need. I'm looking into GPS chartplotter/sounders and am leaning toward the Garmin 540S. Any recommendations? Thanks.
