I have a 2008 Yamaha F250TXR on a 2008 Grady White Tournament 225. I use the boat in the Ohio River and Lake Cumberland. All fresh water use. I replace the impeller after every three seasons as part of summerization. That way the impeller blades don’t take a “set” over the winter. The engine has...

Under the 25 Cruiser under it says; Instrumentation and Safety Equipment- •Fuel Capacity 100 Gallons •Automatic/Manual Bilge Pumps •Certification/Standard Compliance ABYC, USCG, CE I don't see that with the 26 Venture does it also carry the Certification/Standard Compliance ABYC, USCG, CE?

I took the class about 8-9 years ago w/ Sea School and now hold a 50 Ton Inland Masters w/ Towing Endorsement. The knowledge I gained was incredible and I would highly recommend doing it if you're interested. It's not easy to get the Six Pack (OUPV) license and you have to study for the exam...

I am certainly no expert on propping motors and I think that all five major outboard builders build good engines now. For me the issue is living with accessible service availability while you own the engine. If you live inland as I do in KY. it’s a Yamaha or Mercury world. Suzuki, Evinrude, and...

Bob, Thanks. I thought it probably would qualify but I just wanted to confirm it with someone who had been successful doing it. As always I appreciate your help and on another note it will not work out for me to be in Pensacola next week but I appreciate your gracious offer. Thanks again, Chris

Has anyone USCG Documented their 25 Cruiser? I didn’t know if it would measure out to 5 GT or not. Also with basically very little transom space where have you put your boat name and hailing port? Any pictures you may have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, chris

Ken, Did you see the PM I sent? Thanks

Thataway, Thank you for your thorough response. I really appreciate knowing all the details. That is exactly why I asked the question. I live in KY and our summers can be as hot and humid as any in FL. We call them velvet days in the Bluegrass. I see where Three Rivers has a 26 Venture Sport in...

How is the 26 interior finish different than the 25?

You all both mention a wider beam but the specs say they both have a beam of 8’6”? Is there a difference in the beam?

Foggy, Thanks for replying. Why did you buy a Venture 26 over a Cruiser 25? was it a deliberate act of just what was available when you were ready?

I'm confused regarding exactly what the differences are between the 25 Cruiser and the 26 Venture. Could someone please explain the advantages of one model over the other? I can see the differences on the specifications, but what are the real world every day differences. They must be different...

Well said Bob. I have found Marc to be a man of the highest integrity and a man of his word as I have dealt with him on the purchase of my Sea Sport. The industry would do well to have more like him in the business. I look forward to taking delivery of my 26 Aleutian within the next month and...

Okay that explains Three Rivers but why have they dumped Wefings and Mobile East Marine? Anybody have a theory on that?
