I second what tailman says don’t leave any valuable stuff in your rig. Also be careful when it’s low tide really shallow near the ramp I hit the mud bottom with my prop had to trim the drive up to get in...

I was shopping for lights for my new shop and found these 140 watt lights that supposedly replace 500 watt metal halide. Look perfect for a squid light One on each side mounted in a rod holder and 40,000 lumens of squid attracting light! Around $140 each I paid a lot more for my bulky 400 watt...

I have a couple of 15 inch green fluorescent that are 12v that I use sometimes at work OK but nothing compared to the metal halide light 400 Watt metal halide light will probably take about 35 A to run on your inverter so I hope you have some big batteries if you plan on using them for a few...

Just remember you have to multiply the AC amperage by 10 when using a 12v inverter so a 1kw 120 volt light will use 8.3 amps but will take 83 + out of your battery to do it But you don’t need a 1kw light. I have a 400 watt metal halide and it raises squid good if they are around. Honda eu1000...

That’s definitely an interesting engine choice! I for one will be totally interested in how it works out for you. I own several diesel engines and tractors and trucks and I really like how reliable, efficient and the minimum maintenance intervals that are generally required. If you’re taking...

I’m no expert but it sounds like the shift linkage needs to be adjusted. Could be a simple fix...good luck with the sale!

Got it thanks for the info!

Sent a PM today..

Just a curious person here but that mileage of 1 mpg seems kinda low for a 26’ boat. What engine(s) did it have? I consistently get 2.3-2.8 on a multi day trip to the islands in my 24’ with a single gas v8. My range is around 200-230 with 94 gallon tank and I have put over 4,000 miles on the...

Sweet, thanks for the update! Nice to see it went to a good home and is going to be used.

I see this says sold now. Anyone know the lucky new owner?

Congratulations on your new ride!!! It’s awesome for sure especially with the new 300’s. Do you know how long the 250’s ran or why they were replaced? Just curious. Thanks!

Thanks. That’s actually a great idea for a one trip solution

Does it have fuel tanks or anything else that’s usable in the hull? Could be “the mother of all pangas” build lol
