    Guys, help with a weird fishbox on my new (to me) Robalo

    Guys, I have a Robalo 1920 cc that has a front floor locker. Some call it a fishbox, but as it has no water inlet valve and only a drain, I just call it a fishbox. Now the problem... I am pretty sure the drain comes in from the water line port on the port side of the boat. The boat is new to me...

    I am updating my live well.....

    I've been told that fish pond paint could be used, but I wouldnt trust that on plastic so, I think I'm liking white just fine. Just a new acrylic lid and blue light added. Thanks for trying guys.

    I am updating my live well.....

    I wanted to get a custom see through acrylic lid for the livewell on my Robalo 1920. Paint the white plastic a soft blue, and add a blue light into it. I am just not sure what paint to get? All the things I have read say to clean the inside thoroughly with denatured alcohol, then paint at least...

    Water not draining!!

    Kahuna, I just bought a preowned Robalo 1920cc and it holds water in the front compartment right in front of the padded seat. I didn't get a good look at it but the previous owner said that it was from rain water and he has to pump it out by hand? Crazy, I hope its like your saying and just a...

    supposed to pick up my new (to me) Robalo 1920 CC tomorrow.

    how concerned should I be? There is a floor hatch right in front of the padded cooler seat near the bow of the boat that is holding water? The owner said rainwater collects there and he pumps it out by hand after every storm. Shouldn't there be a drain or shouldn't it be controlled by the...

    supposed to pick up my new (to me) Robalo 1920 CC tomorrow.

    I know little about the manufacturing process of Robalos. This one is a 98' with a 09' Yamaha 150 4s. New electronics and meticulously taken care of. Cant wait. I guess I'll have to change my nick from my old boat to this one...lol

    1998 Grady White 180 Fisherman

    I'm all set to look at a 98' GW Fisherman on Saturday. Coems with electronics, a Yamaha 150 4s and looks pretty clean from the pics. problem...Its come to my attention that they used wood in their decks and gunnels up until 1998? And even then they didn't switch right away to composite...

    06' Merc Optimax ?

    Looking at a nice Angler with a 150XL Optimax. I have always had Yamahas and had really good luck with them. I understand there were problems with these Opti's when they first came out. Anyone have any info on the 06's ?
