    Older trophy 2002 - opinions anyone?

    I've heard good and bad about Bayliner/Trophy but I've always had the opinion to rate each boat separately. This is a 1993 Trophy 2002 with an evin 2001 - 150hp. The boat is structuraly sound, no cracks except for a few areas of map cracking on the gunnals. The boat has been left uncovered...

    LUCKY it didn't happen sooner!

    During the New London Sail Fest/Tall Ship Parade day, I was motoring down the Thames River to go fishing in the Sound. Manuvering amongst the hundreds of anchored parade watchers, I had a few photo opportunites that I took advantage of without anchoring, becuse I'd be soon on my way beyond all...

The boat was open at the transum, so the pump was...

    Rim/wheel Question

    The rim's hub hole is a little larger than the axel hub. Not much, but enough to know it is the wrong size. All of the stud bolts line up prefectly and the nuts are on as tight as they should be, so they (5) hold all the weight on this single axel trailer, no brakes. The entire rig weighs...

    Channel Maintenance

    A marina I know of (name excluded) told me how much it costs them to have their channel dredged from the river channel to their marina opening. The opening to the marina is a narrow railroad underpass with height and width restrictions. I was not surprised at the amount it costs them (alot)...
