52' is ambitious if this is your first boat. I recommend that you get in touch with your insurance company as they'll most likely require you to...
Correct. My mistake.
Or it could be a money pit. Back in the 1990's a lot of boats were being extended. Some worked out better than others. 25% is quite an extension.
Simple is good. You're welcome.
I like ECY2CY or stratoglass depending how my flex you want in it. You might consider having zippered up to so you can have air flow on those hot...
It won't hurt but I agree it looks shoddy. Looking at those picks again I think I'd just put a little Vaseline on a wire brush and brush it off....
I'm wondering if you don't need a valve adjustment.
How many hours do you have on that motor?
A lot seems to be being made about the size of the boat towing. As long as the tow eyes and transom are beefed up it's all about the motors and...

Since manufacturers have been swamped with orders I have to think that's where the business is coming from. Understandable that when calls are...

Well you have zincs on your OB and can hang a zinc on a cable when you must leave it in the water.
Very cool, but I still think I'd like to stuff the bow into a few waves to see what happens when that front wheel hits a wave from an angle. Must...
Just looked up the 25 Sealegs. That's pretty strange and a bit cool. Most 45' shouldn't have trouble towing that boat, but it will play havoc on...
I agree with Dockmaster. I think your cleats (actually the tow eyes) can handle it, big everything else he wrote is on target. Then there's the...
First I'll question why you're only looking at new boats. You'll save a ton of money (to put into a bigger or better boat) by getting one a...
In looking at video of the boat I see a hatch between the dinette seats. Will it not come out through there? Failing that the entire floor is...
That's not the part of the market where I see the downturn coming, although the 2nd case sounds like someone who came into money. To me that's a...
You have a theory and I have a theory. If you're correct manufacturers need to increase production to match last year's sales levels. If I'm...
