    That Campion reminds me of the hardtop Bayliners. Are any of those available in your area to check out?

    Has Sea Ray gone stupid ???

    Thanks- We are definitely looking at the KW 219 and 239 along with the Sea Hunt 235 Ultra. Ideally, I would love to find a gently used Chris Craft 23 Catalina in the very affordable price range, as we will end up using the center console as a pleasure craft more than a fishing rig...

    Has Sea Ray gone stupid ???

    It's not just SeaRay. We have been looking at single engine center console bay boats in the 22-24ft range and have been pretty shocked with current pricing.

    Garmin 188C Blue Chart card for Tampa Bay/Sarasota Florida

    This may be a shot in the dark, but I will try anyway... By chance, does anyone have a Tampa Bay/Sarasota area Florida Blue Chart card that will work with a Garmin 188C that they are no longer using?

    Anchoring on/near sandbars and how close to anchor to the beach

    280SS/290SS Thread

    On a trailer, ours would not fit in a garage with a 9ft door. It did however fit into my brother in laws garage. He has one bay with a tall opening garage door installed by the previous owner. I think it was to accommodate a small RV.

    We are working out the logistics of moving our boat to Sarasota. I am checking to see if anyone would have interest in purchasing the trailer - aluminum tri-axle manufactured by TNT once we get the boat re-homed. I can send pics of the trailer and details via PM if you are interested.

    What would you do?

    Wow, I thought that is illegal in a freshwater. How about calling the DNR and reporting the owner? I absolutely hate inconsiderate assholes that discharge waste into lakes because they are too lazy to use a pump out. They deserve to be fined for doing it.

    mechanical failure

    You may as well do a compression check and look over the other engine as well. It may be that you can get away with either valve work, or just replacing with new heads. Your mechanic should be able to verify if the block, crank and pistons/rings need replacement. We wound up putting new heads on...
