    Fiberglass Issues

    Wouldn't this area be all fiberglass? I wouldn't think they would take the time to form the ski locker out of wood and cover with fiberglass.

    what can it handle

    I have a 185 SPORT and it's not fun out in anything over 2ft chop. The boat will handle 2' chop but you have to remember the speed you can travel in chop is reduced considerably and forget about any water sports.

    14 1/4 x 21 on a 05 185 v6

    I have a 2006 185 sport and I'm seeing 4600/4700 at WOT with my 14 3/8 x 18 pitch prop on smooth water with the 1.81 gear ratio outdrive. I would think you would be fine running a 21 pitch and maybe even a 19 pitch high five prop.

    Subwoofer Stereo System in a 195 Sport

    Here are a couple of pics of the bazooka tube I installed under the bow seat on my 185. It's not the 8" tube as I posted earlier but a 6" tube, I got confused. lol... It's not going to win any sound comps but it does sound much better than no sub at all. I used the stap to hold it down to the...

    Smart Tabs SX first impressions.

    I really like the way it improved the ride when the lake is choppy and could tell it improved the maneuverability of the boat. The boat planes out quicker and seemed to hold plane at lower speeds although I never had a problem with planing out due to the 4 blade 18 pitch prop. It seems I picked...

    I looked thru all the post on here and called the Nauticus and they recommended the 60lb set.

    The hard part about repairing the one on the bottom holes is the holes them self. I could have easily patch the hold area but it would have filled in the hole. Since it is covered by the hinge I just used some Fiberglass sealant that was for below the water line and then used the marine sealant...

    Smart Tabs SX first impressions.

    WOW!!! What a difference these things make. I could not believe how much smoother the boat rode in chop today. I have the 60lb actuators set on the softest setting and the boat was great in the chop and seemed to be much more stable and nimble. I also noticed that the boat tracked straighter on...

    Smart Tab SX install went WRONG!!!

    Thats a good idea as well, I just wish someone would have mentioned the counter sink issue when I asked for install tips on Monday!!! Oh well you live and learn and atleast they are on, now I just need the weather to clear so we can head to the lake! I'm going to email Nauticus and suggest they...

    Sfergson - Thanks for the tip on the counter sink, I pulled the hinge off and the celgoat was cracked on all the screws and two of them were bad. I patched up the two bad ones and counter sunk all the holes. Then I used a healty dose of marine sealant and reinserted the screws. I then moved on...

    The counter sink would prevent the screw from contacting the gelcoat when screwing it in. I just did not think it would do this kind of damage. All the other holes are fine and look good.
