Back in the water after the repairs from Mr. Sea Ray. That's annother story yet to be told. However my 10 year old son and I went for a short boat ride soaked some lines saw an excellent sunset. We cruised at 1800rpm going 24 kts getting .6 NMPG. We just had fun. It is after all a hobby that...

I looked in the service manual and can't find anything on the correct way to check the oil level on my 453 naturals which have the oil filter mounted upside down. I've been running the engines and check the oil level as soon as someone shuts the engine down. My thinking was the oil filter needs...

I just returned from the Norwalk show. I have never seen so many anxious, depressed and otherwise dejected dealers in my life. It has been such a poor season up North that the dealers I spoke to each were complaining about the new inventory they have that is depreciating before their eyes while...

My wife just found a 2 camera setup that is wireless and auto switches to night vision. She picked it up at Sams(the other one) for like $80. Just plug in to a TV and let it rip. I think I will put one in the engine room and one in the cockpit. I will let you know how they work but if your...

Not herd anything about CY Manley since the hurricanes last year. Know he sold his 34 because another memeber her now owns it but wonder how he came out with hurricane family and boat.

I just picked up the subject inflatable as a dink, and toy for my kids. Not sure as to the ob hp I should be looking at. I don't want a dog, but neither do I want a hot rod. (14 year old boys have far more between their legs than between their ears). There's no hp tag on the transom. ...

Hey, can I entice a South Florida 58YF owner to take a waffling sportfish owner out for a ride? I'd be happy to pay any and all expenses (fuel, washdown, time, beers... :) ). How about help on a project that just needs two people? Say the word. I've been kicking the tires on figuring whether...
