    New Boat, Good Deal?

    So I've finally rebounded and bought another boat after my Chris was lost in the hurricane. Its a 2004 Luhrs 30 Open that I fell in love with when I saw it. I wanted twin diesels, but this one has brand new Merc 6.2s with a warranty, so I figured you can't go wrong. I don't run offshore enough...

    Baha Cruisers

    Looking to get a 300 GLE. I like the enclosed pilot house. Are Baha's solid boats? I know they're not fancy in any sense of the word, and very "businessy". But are they solid and durable? And how bout them Suzuki outboards?

    Tracvision???

    I am looking at this 30' Sea Ray Amberjack and it has one of these Trac Vision Sat. TV systems. Does anyone know anybody about these systems? Cause I have no idea how this works. I would imagine you pay a monthly fee. How much is it, cause I cant seem to find that info. Its a Trac Vision M5. Thanks

    Outdrive engine setup

    I was doing some dreaming today and went online to look at Cigarette Racing Speed Boats. The 50' one has a triple 1075 Mercury Setup and I was wondering if anyone could tell me how this type of setup works (I included a pic). How does the power get to the drive of the port and starboard engines...

    Wellcraft is sluggish

    Wellcraft has had the same design in their coastal series running for 10+ years (except for the new 340 Coastal). I know that they probably "stick with what works" But I am so excited to see a redesigned coastal!!!

    Throttle Handles

    Is there anyway to make throtle control handles move a little smoother? Because mine are a little rickety and its a pain in the as%. I know this probably has to do with the cables themselves, but is there a way to smooth it out a bit?

    Interesting Story......Steering Issue

As another boat was approaching my bow coming from the opposite way, I steered right to give him room. Well, I...
