Another thing to think about is boat maintenance. Make sure your fuel filters, spark plugs, engine oil etc are good. When I changed my engine oil to AMSOIL synthetic I found an extra 200 rpm that I had been missing. That's as good as a prop change but less expensive. I also did notice an...

I get about 4 hours on my little A/C unit w/ 4 golf cart batteries. Check out my thread about it here: http://clubsearay.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8701

Here is the link to some pictures: http://picasaweb.google.com/rick.large/InverterInstallApr_2008 I bought a Xantrex XM1800 because it had all the options I wanted like remote on/off and decent no load current draw. I know they say don't mount the inverter in the engine compartment but I...

Very small world. The boat is in great shape but hadn't had any maintenance in a long time. I suspect the boat sat for many months or more as the freshwater tank had slime in it and the water in the hot water tank really smelled bad, the raw water pump went out after running for only a few...

Wow, is that my boat? haha, yes that's the one. The A/C works well. I haven't tried it on a really hot day but my hope is that it cools the cabin enough during the summer to sleep. When I first got the boat I didn't have a generator (portable) big enough, or in good enough condition to run the...

I did a lot of research on batteries and decided to go with golf cart batteries for the house bank. I ended up with 4 of them that I purchased at Sam's Club for a total of 450 AH capacity (they are 225 AH each at 6 volts). The original batteries were on the port side but at anchor my boat used...

Thank you DCarl - I go to the lakes on the east side of town usually. So far I've been to Bartlett a few times, Saguaro several times, canyon once and Roosevelt once. Roosevelt has been my latest trip and my favorite. I am going to Apache in July for the aquapalooza thing.

I have a mermaid brand A/C I can get the details fi you are interested in knowing more. Thanks, Rick

Sounds like it could be an awesome deal but spend a few extra hundred bucks and get a marine surveyor to check it out. Especially if you are buying it from a dealer as a brokered deal. What are the 240's going for new $80k+? Best wishes wth it.

Thanks Shining; That was just what I was looking for! I found the 270 thread but haven't spent much time on the site yet

Hi everyone! I'm Rick from Arizona. I purchased my first boat August 2007 ~ It took me for ever to talk the wife into it but it was worth the wait. I ended up purchasing a used 2000 240DA and here in AZ A/C is a must; since the previous owner had air installed I thought it was a good choice...
