    Proud owner...

    Well, I'm officially depressed that summer's over... had to take my boat off the lift because the lake levels will be dropping soon and I don't want it stranded there. On the plus side, I finally took some pics: ...and heading out to fish in the morning: Forward: Aft (no rod...

    California winter: use it or store it?

    Hey, all... my lake is lowered in the off-season, so I gotta pull my new Glastron 205 (4.3 L EFI Penta I/O) off the lift and into a storage space. I'd like to use it over the "winter" months, but it'd be pretty infrequent... perhaps the boat might not get used for 7 - 8 weeks in a row. The...

    New GT205: no "trailer" position?

    Here's another newb question: on my Volvo Penta I/O, there's no "trailer" button or detent on the trim switch... just simple up and down buttons. I guess I'd assumed that the trailer position on most boat drives provided some extra means of support that relieves load on the trim...

    Mounting rod holders on GT205...

    Has anyone done this? I have a new 2010 S&F, and I want to add removable, adjustable rod holders to the gunwales. Cabela's makes some: Position would be between the main bimini mount and the aft (quick release) bimini mount. Anyone done this? It looks like I could remove the speakers and...

    Brake controller and surge brakes...

    Hey, all... My truck has a brake controller unit on it, but the trailer for my new 21' I/O has its own surge brakes. Will plugging this trailer into the 7-pin connector on my truck screw anything up? Or will the brake controller automatically realize that there are no electric brakes...

    Q5 or Q6 Ski & Fish owners: measurement needed, please...

    Can anyone post up the distance between the bow casting chair post and the furthest forward edge of the bow casting platform? In other words, "footroom" when the bow is configured for fishing. There are no Q5/Q6 sf boats set up anywhere near me, and I'm trying to get an idea of how much space...

    Ski-Fish owners: room on the front deck?

    I'm looking hard at the usual mid-size ski-n-fish boats like the Four Winns H2O3, Glastron GT205 sf, and Tahoe Q5 sf. 2007 to 2009 models. None of these are available right now near me, much less side-by-side to compare. So here's my question: When rigged to fish up at the front (deck and...

    Fish & ski boats: Tahoe Q5 sf or Glastron GT205 sf?

    Hi, all... newbie here to boating with a question on "fish & ski" boats. Ideally, I'd like to spend less than $20k and pick up a very low-hours 2006-2008 model that's already taken its initial depreciation. I'm looking for one of these to use for tubing, fishing, and cruising. Roughly even...
