Im interested in buying a boat that was used in Florida. Unfortunately, the Marine selling the boat cannot tell me if it was used in Salt Water or not. The boat is an 07, and it only has 6 hours on it. Is there any easy way of telling if it has been in salt water, and if so, what are any...

Ok, I need some of your assistance. I realize that this is a SR forum, but I need an honest unbiased opinion. We're looking at finally upgrading. Currently we have a 220 Select w/ 350 MAG. Unfortunately, weve decided its just too small to boat with on Lake Michigan (we get beat up in...

Ok, we've had a 220 SEL for the past 4 years... Usually were in 1-3 ft. chop... and were getting slammed and beaten all over. The wife has finally said enough, and wants to upgrade to something that will handle 1-3 fters w/o an issue (and without going < 5 mph) We've been looking at...

Ok, so were planning on taking a trip to Chicago, possibly down the river a bit. Last year, we stopped at "Dicks Last Resort" - right by the locks... but since then they have relocated. So here's my question... anyone familiar with any 'interesting/good eating establishment' thats...

Am I the only one on the Great Lakes wondering when the Heat is going to arrive? I've heard that this has been the coldest July in over 100 years! Normally, Lake Michigan water (within 5 miles of shore) is normally around 76 degrees at this time... we checked yesterday and its only 67...

Anyone know the pricing / availability of transient slippage for a marina in chicago? (Im planning on heading up there the middle of next week for the Taste of Chicago - and just wondering if there's anywhere to park for the day) Thanks

Went out on Lake Michigan for the first time this year. Funny how the first time out is. Got everything ready. Launched the boat. Started her up. Threw her in reverse. SHE DIDNT MOVE. Started to panic (because had work done over the winter) as she started to float from the dock...

Has anyone ever 'dry stacked' their boat during boating season? If so, is there any information you have on your experience w/ it? (IE: amount to tip; damage to your boat; etc) Thanks

I dont know what forum to post this in, so this was the closest. Im looking to wet slip my 220 Select this year... but I really dont want to paint the bottom... and I REALLY dont want all the crap to form on it. So my question is, what are my alternatives? I've looked at...

Well, remnants of Hurricane Ike came through our area this past weekend. The ditch that we have our boat on got flooded - over 12 ft and pretty much took everything in its path along with it. Right now, I dont know the complete status of my boat... It was tied up, and on a hydro lift that...

Ok, Im probably gonna get ripped for this... cause im sure its somewhere else... i just must be searching incorrectly... I didnt realize it, but the side of my boat bumped up against a few dock bumpers (unfortunately, not the throwover ones) and basically eliminated the gel coat 'gloss'...

I noticed late last year, that i have a small crack (very thin / under 1 inch long) portruding from a snap in front of my windshield. I've been told that the proper way to fix this, is to drill a small hole at the end of the crack (to keep it from 'stress' extending) and then fill it with an...

At the end of last year, my local marine shop did my 100 hour drive alignment check. For this I know they pulled off the outdrive. Fast forward to this year... I noticed when lowering / raising the outdrive, I initially get this large thump (sounds like a 'bass' thump from a stereo speaker)...

Does anyone know of a good Marine / Boat performance / repair shop located near Southern Lake Michigan area? Im looking to purchase Bennett tabs finally, and cant for the life of me drill into the bottom of my boat... so Im looking for an expert shop to install them for me. (Unfortunately...

I have an 06 220 Select 350 Mag Alpha one... Its got 70 hours on it. Is it really necessary to get the "recommended service XX hour service" (I realize that sounds stupid... but) I have heard differences that you should take it in after 20 hours, 50 hours, 100 hours (I have yet to...

Well, finally got it installed into my 220 select. its located in the bench seat. Here's the only pic I have so far...

Has anyone had any luck installing an amplifier / powered sub to this head unit? Im trying to connect it to an Infinity Basslink powered subwoofer, but am having problems with the wiring. From the wiring diagram, the Blue/White wire (out of the back of the head unit) is supposed to be the...

Does anyone know where the stock subwoofer location on a 220 Select (BR) is? Thx.

Im looking to mount a subwoofer underneath the passenger helm (Basically underneath the glove box / ice chest) in my 06 220 Select. There is a 45 degree angle 'footrest' - so to speak. At the highest point possible on that 'footrest', I was going to mount the enclosed subwoofer there...

Curiousity Question, I have 2 batteries (1K Crank, 500K Crank) that I used all last summer. This winter, pulled them and put them both on separate float chargers (This model: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=42292) I put them in the other day for the...
