    I'm looking at a 1995 Trophy 2002. The boat is a repo and sold hull only. As I'm not too sure how this boat has been stored I'm wondering if anyone knows what year Trophy went to all composite construction as opposed to wood core?<br />Thanks<br />Brian

    Shoreline trailer?

    I have a 1988 Renken 19' bowrider. The trailer it's sitting on is listed on the title and registration as a shorlandr, but the trailer has Shoreline lettered on it.

When I anchor to fish and cut off the engine it's difficult to restart the engine. Once...
