    New Boat For Christmas

    Actually they do, I don't know how clear it is. I think a west system or some other epoxy might be better On another front I finally got one of my drives done and the lower unit on the other is done, still working on the upper in-between bathroom tile.

    How does RV financing work?

    As was said before, used is the way to go. Last year we bought a 2017 at a dealership it had 12,800 miles on it, it was a trade in. So we traded our 2004 in.

    Volvo Penta 5.7 GSI

    It seems to me that maybe someone tried to charge 2 batt. from the same alt. and that might work if it's the 95 or 110 amp alt. So if the red wire goes now where then take it off and make your charging system look like the diagram above

    is Nada boat valuation acurate?

    A boat, (much like other things) is only worth what your willing to pay for it. Make an offer your willing to pay, if they take it great if not move on the the next one
