    Fuel Sender

    Just looking at a new fuel sender. As i am looking at this i wondered. How does this safely work with 12 volt power going to the sender by the fuel? So i figured i would look dumb and ask. To me it seems like the power by the fuel is a bad thing. Can someone educate me on this. Thanks

    Boat Weight

    Hey all, I have been trying to figure out if the scale weight i have is close to the weight my boat should be. I guess in my mind if the weight is close to what the scale says it should mean i am not hauling around a boat full of saturated foam. So my boat has an approx weight of 1350 lbs. The...

    2002 Glastron SX 170

    I bought a 2002 Sx 170. I can't see anywhere on the outside of the hull with a VEC badge. From what I have seen I believe it should be a VEC hull. Any help or ideas of where to look. I don't get to see it till I travel back on Saturday to pick up. It's got a 135 Johnson outboard with 54 hours...

    Tri Hull Tower

    Yes i know it is not the best boat for wake boarding and it will not increase the value. I want to either build or put on a cheap tower on my tri hull. The main reason is getting the ski pole out of the way to open up more room on my boat plus have a rack to store stuff on. I never have more...
