I am always looking for more room for fish, and am tired of jumping over ice chests and totes. After looking at my boat, I am considering building a below deck fish hold for my 92 2520. It is a deep V hull. It looks to me that I could fill the space behind the fuel tank and back to about 18"...

Anyone have any luck with any lights for boating after dark. I have the Garmin 740s for navigation, with the radar overlay, which is very helpful. But it would be nice to have somesort of lighting to see obstructions in the darkness. I hit a floating 4x4 a while back, and while it didn't do any...

My seat pedestal base on my 92 2520dv sc cracked and eventually broke off. The pedestal was manufactured by Springfield so I ordered a 30" spring field replacement pedestal. When it arrived I found the base to be about a 1/4" smaller and the bolt pAttern to be slightly off. The old seat was held...

After a long day of trolling yesterday staring at the pilothouse walls and all the old owners years of random holes in the boat made me realize that I need to do some repairs. I have holes in the fiberglass all over the place, from old electronics to old rod holders, to old audio speakers and...

My 2520...

I have a Garmin740s unit for my main chartplotter/sounder/radar unit in my pilothouse, and am looking now for a new unit for the upper "tuna tower" station. I read someplaces that the 740s is not networkable, then other places that I could put another 740S up top and would be able to see my...

Anyone pull their anchor by hand? I know doing it alone wouldnt be easy, but I rarely boat alone. Anyway.. my windlass is busted and I need either to replace it or I was thinking do I really need it. I rarely anchor the boat, and if I do it wouldn't be in deep water normally. If one was to pull...
