    Greetings all. My wife and I just moved from a Carver to a Chris, 426 Catalina. She will be in the water this week. Boating generally on Lake Michigan, with occasional runs to The Straits.

    Just a 'howdy, how ya doin'.

    Nice! We bought nearly the identical boat in August of this year here in Florida. Love it! Nearly identical on the outside except ours has a hard top over the bridge.

    What HP tune are the 3208s?
    Remember what you learned about fuel tanks.
    You may still have that issue. Chris had good/bad days during the 80s.

    Now please listen to my personal advice about high HP 3208s, Keep Walking.
