    It is NEVER safe to......

    ....... go to a Boat Show! We are 100% satisfied with our current 2011 206SSI, 270HP VP 5.0. But, we went to the LA Boat Show on Friday just for fun and to pick up some supplies, etc. Of course, we did stop to take a "look" at that new Chap model 257 SSX with VP 383 DP, with arch - fully...

    2011 Chaparral 206SSI opinions? / UPDATED

    Hey guys and gals, I have been looking at new boats. Not a case of 2' itis, just a case a "new boat" 'itis. Think I have now narrowed the search to a 2011 Chaparral 206SSI with a 5.0L VP GXI SX, 270HP. Anyone have first hand knowledge of this model performance and cost wise? I am lake...

    Help talk me out of it.....

    We bought a new left over 2008 Maxum 1900SR3 in August of 2009. Have put 186 hours on it with NO issues. Very pleased with its performance, build quality and are essentially very satisfied with it. But, we have a little case of the infamous dreaded 'itis disease. On a whim we looked at a new...

    Memorial Day Madness

    It never ceases to amaze me the number of morons that come out to the lake on Memorial Day. And, what is even more amazing is that (as far as I am aware at the lake I frequent) they all made it home. Of course, they may have dinged their boat or someone else's at the launch dock, they may have...

    Stereo transom remote

    Re: Stereo transom remote I have one mounted near the platform and one at the helm. Use both frequently, with no issues so far. Here is a photo showing the one near the stern. Can't find a good photo of the one at the helm. FYI - OEM / Dealer installed when I bought the boat new.

    Best Boat cover COLOR

    Re: Best Boat cover COLOR I am in So Cal too and my boat is left in the driveway as well. I bought the cover in this photo about a year and half ago from I-Boats and it has held up well. I haven't noticed any fading yet. As I recall it was an Endura semi custom fit on sale for 250 ish when...

    How many times did you do it in 2010?

    No......not that.... As I was cleaning the boat today after a nice morning on the lake, I went through the "log book" I keep on the boat. We launched and retrieved 76 times in 2010 and put 98.7 hours on the engine. We are 45 minutes to the nearest lake and about the same driving time to get to...

    Crowded day on the lake!

    I took the afternoon off (rain is in the forecast) and took the boat out solo. And by solo, I don't just mean on the boat by myself but also on the lake! I was the only boat on the lake. I knew I was in for a nice couple of hours when I drove in and did not see one trailer in the parking lot...

    Help - Drain plug screw

    Hey guys and gals, After a quick trip to the lake last night, after retrieval as I was removing the plug I noticed that one of the screws (three in total) that hold the brass plug insert / flange / thingamagig to the transom was missing (see photo). When I got home I thought I would simply...
