    Long shot, but you never know

    Long shot, but you never know

    Long shot, but you never know

    I know this is a long shot... but some of you whippersnappers are pretty sharp. I have a 2018 Suzuki DF9.9BTX2 it is used as my kicker and it is a remote installed model, I would be surprised if the engine had 15 hours on it. The problem: The engine will idle sweet, but once you put a load on...

    Cons to a freshwater wash down?

    Yep.... We did that about 10 years ago. Used it to take fresh water showers on the swim step at the end of the day over at San Clemente after a long day of fishing. When I got back to the ramp, if it was busy at the wash down I would just use the tank to wash down the boat and trailer and head...

    Insurance

    Fishstix2 I don't know what your Tom Cat is worth? When I owned a C-Dory 22' I tried three or four companies over the 13 years I owned her and they all fell short of my expectations. We bought a new boat for $176.000 plus the cost of trailer $12,000 and pay $867 a year. Stay away from carriers...

    Drilling holes in gunnel

    Hey Richard, The thru the deck type of rod holder is what you want for all fishing in my opinion for the bigger tuna or any tuna for that matter, go with the picture Thataway showed you, it is out of the way when not in use. Take the clamp on stuff back or use that on the bow rail?

    2006C Dory 25 for sale in Pensacola for $49,900 unusual int.

    Why is it that everybody gets so scared and thinks the engine needs a repower at 1500 hours? I run four strokes up to 3000 and 4000 hours off shore 60 miles for years chasing blue fin tuna. These engines are safer than your 401k and pay back better than your annuity??? Please be nice
