    Tritoon vs Deck boat

    I went from a 19 foot starcraft tritoon to a 19 foot nauticstar deck boat. If I had to choose a winner I would pick the tritoon. Had to trade my tritoon for the deck boat so that it would fit into my garage(stupid HOA). The tritoon had more room, more comfortable ride, easier to work...

    Making extra step for ladder

    I also thought about using starboard too. I know starboard has some buoyancy just not sure if it would have more buoyancy than wood. I do plan on adding some metal plate backing to the bottom of the step

    Making extra step for ladder

    My current boat has your normal 3 step telescoping metal ladder, and I really need a 4 step ladder. Originally I bought a 4 step ladder, but the issue I have is to remove the current ladder I would need to get access to the nuts in the bilge. Unfortunately it is pretty much impossible to get a...

    Sandusky Bay recreational Boating?

    I have boated a lot on Sandusky bay, I have used a rowboat with 9hp Johnson, 13 foot whaler and a 19 foot wellcraft. Depending on the weather 2 foot waves are about norm you would experience on the bay. It is also double the size of St Mary. Dempsey public boat ramp is probably my favorite to...

    Anyone run Hartland tires from discount tire?

    I looked at those tires too as my trailer tires are coming up for replacement. Not that it helps but on my camper I replaced the tires with carlise HD tires and they seem to be holding up good

    St Mary's Ohio Lake

    Actually picking up a blue nauticstar deck boat tomorrow as we sold our pontoon last year. We do like indian lake going through the canals off of the main lake, but it can get pretty shallow back there( 2-4 feet)

    St Mary's Ohio Lake

    Yep seaweed was horrible last year. Few times I had to raise the motor to untangled the seaweed. It was pretty much unusable for jet drive boats/jet ski

    Nmea 2k to yamaha 115

    I will start off by saying I know very little when it come to nmea 2k. Picking up a boat with a 2017 yamaha 115 motor. What I am looking for is to display rpm, fuel burned, and gph. Since I don't have room to install a nmea 2k chartplotter. I am looking at small multi function displays. The two...

    Tahoe boat

    I was in the market for similar boats and looked at that same model. The 2 negatives that made me pass was the smaller beam width and only 1100 people weight capacity. Might not be an issue for you

    Factory holes in stringers?

    Just seems weird that they would leave the holes open. Almost feel like I should close them up with caulk

    Factory holes in stringers?

    from what I read nauticstar is 100% wood free so I am guessing the stringers are foam filled

    Factory holes in stringers?

    looking at a 2017 nauticstar and when I looked underneath I saw some holes on the top of the stingers. The holes are filled with foam. I assume this was done at the factory. Does that seem right?

    Going to look at the sea doo switch

    Measured the demo model they had at the dealer and it should be to fit in the garage. With the Bimini down I show 7.8 feet. In all I really liked the concept. The one slight negative was that instead a normal metal fencing, it was some kind of plastic sheeting (kind of like a camper cover). You...

    Going to look at the sea doo switch

    My dealer will have a demo of the sea doo switch at their store on Thursday and plan to take a look. Originally when I first read about them I thought they where a joke, especially with handle bars instead of a steering wheel, but the more I thought about it I think it might be a good fit for...

    Which deckboat 17-19 foot

    Sold my pontoon(which I loved) and am looking for a new or used deck boat. Wanted to get some ideas on boats to look for. A few requirements, I need to be able to fit the boat in my garage(or the HOA police will yell at me) and only looking at outboards(no I/O's). So when searching a few came...

    New Tahoe boats quality

    Been thinking of selling my 20 foot pontoon and going back to a fiberglass boat. Was looking at a new 21 foot Tahoe 210s with a 115hp Yamaha. I mainly boat inland lakes but would to go play out in the bay at lake erie. I remember back in the day tahoe boats had a bad reputation, but wondering if...
