    Deep Cycle Boat Battery

    I just changed my Interstates this year after 9 seasons and they are never trickled or kept warm in the winter, just let set and they always held a charge till spring. Changed them this year because one was swolen but still started the boat just fine so i changed all 3 to be safe.

    Diesel Marine Engine life expectancy before rebuilds?

    My bigger generator sets 500kW (675hp) - 1500kW (2,000hp) are 60 Series DD and big MTU's a couple Cummins as well and smaller sets 100kw - 300kw are all John Deere. They run at 1,800 rpms all day and around 80% loaded - they all go 10,000 hours between rebuilds (some 14,000 hrs). A big boat is...

    What got you into boating?

    Had no choice, grandfather was a fisherman, father was a fisherman (part-time commerical), grew up going out 100 miles to set lobster traps or set tilefish gear before anyone knew what a Hudson Canyon or 4000 line was. One day many years ago we came into Pt Pleasant to unload and we couldn't...

    Habana Co - special offer to SOS members

    It's $432 for 144 shirts, should be same style and color. The sizes need to follow the 1-2-2-1 pattern or else we're left with sizes that the buyers don't want. They like that assortment to be able to resell it. Tell me what you want and I'll try to do it but each size needs to be "a lot"...

    Opinion - fastest single engine V - HP for Hp

    RumRunner, Respect what your saying but it would need to be a production boat and we would run an outdrive. I know Buzzi boats well and his drives inside out. Although they are fast they are not practical for what I want to achieve. So, I am guessing most bets would be Tuff, Activator or...

    Opinion - fastest single engine V - HP for Hp

    Tuff, just went to the site - WOW looks really sharp. I like that long slender sit way back look - nice. But what would a Fountain run or Krypto run with the same 525hp? faster than 92 that the Tuff says it runs?

    Opinion - fastest single engine V - HP for Hp

    It's 24 or greater, if you put a 500hp in a Foutain 27 or Activator or Phantom or Batboat or etc, etc - Which is faster in general? I know rigging, weight etc, etc but overall which is consistantly faster?

    Opinion - fastest single engine V - HP for Hp

    Tuff? Is that a brand? (LOL) I know, I don't even have a thought to start with. The last single we did was a Maelstrom 24' and that 1990 - times have changed.

    Opinion - fastest single engine V - HP for Hp

    Winter (and broken Merc outboard again) has me down and I keep thinking about putting together a project. I want a single engine boat (V-bottom) 24' or greater that would make a good race boat as well. I'm looking for the fastest hull Hp for Hp. Yes, my project will be diesel but that has no...

    Verado's or Optimax?

    I have the old 225 Opti's (2001) that were part of the class action. They have been great until 2 months ago. One just keeps dieing and Merc is on their way here again this week to try and fix it. It's been repaired 7 times for the same failure, they can't fix it or understand why? No fault...
