    Stacking batteries

    This seems like a stupid question out of the gate. Is there anything wrong with the idea of "stacking" 12v deep cycles vertically in my bilge? I have a Sea Ray 370 and I am killing my batteries while out on the water. I'm running fridge, lights, head and an 800W amp with a few speakers. I...

    '88 Wellcraft Nova 23 XL

    I got tired of my tired old dash so I built/bought a new one. Here's the before: Monday night, I'll have the other panels installed with some newer gauges. If anyone is interested, one of my customers cut these and I can put you in touch with them. They still have the pattern.

    Experience towing heavy

    I have a 2011 2500 Suburban 4x4. I'm thinking about buying a 2001-2005 Sea Ray 280 Sundancer. These boats list a dry weight of 8000# but I think that is a single engine and mine will more than likely have twin 4.3 or twin 5.0 engines. I'm curious if anyone has real world experience towing...

    I'm stuck

    Okay, I've been lurking and reading plus I'm a forum head for my other passion, FJ Cruisers. I'm leading up to the fact that I'm going to ask the ultra noob question. Which boat should I buy? I know, I know...it depends on what you're going to use it for. I was in the market for a cruiser...

    Newbie Jitters

    I grew up on boats but I'm finally looking at a VERY nice Rinker 266 of my own. This boat seems to be well cared for and is just the size I need. I'm really quite resigned to buying her but this worries me. What do you guys think of this crack near the seat/floor in cockpit. Is this...

    Potential new boat

    I'm looking at a VERY nice Rinker 266. This boat seems to be well cared for and is just the size I need. I'm really quite resigned to buying her but this worries me. What do you guys think of this crack near the seat/floor in cockpit. Is this cosmetic or a potential problem? What are...
