    GPS / speed app

    The Speedometer Free version is what I use for my Iphone as well and it serves my purpose very well. Of course you have to put up with being asked to upgrade to a paid premium version but the free version is plenty capable for my use.

    What boat is this? Aluminium 5m cuddy cab

    Interesting, with the Shimano badge on it reminds me of a river fishing jet boat. The bow looks like a good place with the support for bow fishing:-)

    Just curious

    In my neck of the woods it all depends on which ramp you choose as far as the potential for your vehicle to be broken into or vandalized. Sadly the ramps that are in state parks or Gov't areas are the safest then means they get even more traffic so they become overcrowded and you have many...

    Help for prop replacement

    What kind of hull is this, the hull design has a big impact on what type of prop works best. A high performance 24' hull that gets up on a pad would need a way different prop than a 24' pontoon boat for example. Let us know what boat this is and I'm sure you would get more help. As a general...

    1984 Bayliner Ski with 94 Merc Black Max 150HP 2.5 V6 Outboard

    Both options are better than the Bayliner. However both are inboard - outboards. That carries it's own potential headaches. Of the two I like the Sea Ray unless the 4 Winns is a much later model. I didn't see the model year on the 4 Winns. Also the 4 Winns looks longer than 18' which is...

    1984 Bayliner Ski with 94 Merc Black Max 150HP 2.5 V6 Outboard

    You're welcome and to clarify my last comment. Whatever you find get it checked out before you make any deal. The check out might not rule the boat - engine out but may give you some negotiating leverage. Good luck, hope you find that "treasure" that will be the perfect first boat for you:-)

    Just how many boats did Ebbtide produce? Anybody have any idea?

    With my recent purchase of an Ebbtide 2660 Ztrak and having previously owned a 176SS fish and ski I wonder just how many boats the company produced. I know they were not a mass production manufacturer. It would be great to know for example how many of the major models they produced total...

    1984 Bayliner Ski with 94 Merc Black Max 150HP 2.5 V6 Outboard

    Please accept my input for how it is intended. My only desire is to help you. I'm a very long time boat owner having continuously owning at least one boat, sometimes more than one at the same time since 1990. Like you as a young guy my first boat I wanted something to get out on the lake with...

    Tandem axle trailer weight?

    Yes Tennessee Trailers is a long term trailer manufacturing company that has their manufacturing facility right outside of Chattanooga, TN which is the area I live. Tennessee trailer was the OEM supplier for many trailers for many boat brands including Ebbtide. My Ebbtide 2660 Ztrak came with...

    Tandem axle trailer weight?

    For comparison I offer these verified (certified highway scale) weights. My boat is a little larger than yours so your trailer should be less weight than mine. Boat is Ebbtide 2660 Ztrak 26 1/2' bowrider. Spec lists the weight as 5,200 lbs for the boat. My trailer is a Tennessee tandem with...

    Need help with converting MSD toilet to just portable, carry off and dump.

    I hope this helps anyone wanting to convert their MSD version Dometic portable toilet from pump out to just carry off the boat and dump. The pump out fitting that you have to cap off takes a 1 1/2" schedule 40 PVC female threaded cap ( 1 1/2 Female pipe threads). The vent port fitting needs a...

    Need help with converting MSD toilet to just portable, carry off and dump.

    Well this has been an adventure so far. I purchased a 1 1/2" schedule 40 pvc female threaded cap and a 3/4" schedule 40 pvc female threaded cap on the way home yesterday from work. The 1 1/2" cap fit perfect so the actual pump out opening is now sealed. The 3/4 cap was too small. Looking at...

    Need help with converting MSD toilet to just portable, carry off and dump.

    Well I thought I had a parts kit on order but I got a call today from the supplier who took my order and was told that they had thrown all those parts away:-( Looks like I'm going to pick up a 1 1/2" schedule 40 pvc female threaded cap and a 1/2" schedule 40 and maybe a 3/4" schedule 40 pvc...

    Need help with converting MSD toilet to just portable, carry off and dump.

    Thanks Flashback. I went there and the site will be a great resource but "no joy" for what I need. Hopefully someone will post the part numbers or at least the thread size and thread pitch numbers so I can just purchase female threaded caps.

    Need help with converting MSD toilet to just portable, carry off and dump.

    Hey Dingbat, LOL at your post and I'm sure you are exactly correct. I plan to strongly encourage non-use of the boat toilet but I know that it will get used some in emergencies. I hope it will be used so infrequently that removing it a few times (it is not heavy at all) and dumping it at home...

    Need help with converting MSD toilet to just portable, carry off and dump.

    Thanks Horigan for the quick reply. All I know is my toilet is a Dometic 964MSD. I've looked at spare parts for that model and I don't find any "kit" to cap the ports off nor is Dometic free with telling what the threads are. I am glad to know that you did it so it can be done. Hopefully...

    Need help with converting MSD toilet to just portable, carry off and dump.

    Hi all new to this forum. A little background. I've owned fish and ski and bass boats for 40 years but this year my wife and I took the plunge and purchased a 26 1/2' bowrider (Ebbtide 2660 Ztrak) so we can enjoy the lake with our daughter's families. Total of 6 adults and 5 kids under the...
