    SOLD 242 Bow Cover (smoke)

    That is what I originally purchased this cover for, after reading about it on a thread while preparing for Bimini. I still think it is a great idea, especially for people who spend more time in big deep water than I do.

    Great Deal on 2-Person Towable Tube (Overtons $29.99)

    SOLD 242 Bow Cover (smoke)

    Yes, you have to drill the snap bases. It is great for creating dry storage but I never got around to drilling all of those holes.

    SOLD 242 Bow Cover (smoke)

    I have a brand new bow cover (with snaps and hardware) that I purchased last year and never installed. The cover is still in plastic wrap sitting inside of the box it was shipped in. They go for up to $200 but the best price I've seen is from Yamaha Sports Plaza (where I purchased it) at $155...

    Boat Wax?

    Starbrite Premium Cleaner Wax and Premium Marine Polish. Their PTEF ingredient is incredible, I use it on all of my vehicles.

    Detailing/Paint Protection

    Don't get me wrong, I would absolutely try it out if given the opportunity. I will even accept that it is a better protection than wax or polish. I just can't stomach the price tag :greedy:

    Detailing/Paint Protection

    I will wash and double coat your boat with polish for $100 per foot. Heck, I will throw in tools for you to keep and I will travel to you.

    Detailing/Paint Protection

    I stick to Starbrite Premium Cleaner Wax and Premium Marine Polish. Buy a decent 7" polisher/sander (I got mine from Harbor Freight for under $40), decent buffer pads, and use two coats of the Polish each year. You wont have any UV issues or oxidation. No, I don't own stock in Starbrite, but...

    VHF/GPS Combo

    I have the simrad GO 7 as well, but did not mount it to my dash, just used the RAM mount. As for VHF, I recommend getting a handheld for while you are on the island, as this is about the only means of communication. If you are looking for fixed mount, I like standard horizon. You will want the...

    New Bern, NC to Beaufort, NC day trip September 8, 2018 (Cancelled)

    @bronze_10 Cape Lookout is the only lighthouse in NC that we haven't been to, so we are looking to make a trip this year. What is the consensus on this trip? How many are in and what do they prefer? We could always choose a destination address (hotel address or town) and say be here these...

    5k tow limit

    @Jimxo if you're looking in the 1/4 ton market, take a look at the GMC/Chevrolet Canyon/Colorado with the 2.8L diesel. I tow a 242 approximately 10k miles a year and it handles the load well. I estimate my tow weight at 6,000 lbs fully load for the lake / beach with coolers and all, but the...

    New Bern, NC to Beaufort, NC day trip September 8, 2018 (Cancelled)

    Sorry, I know that changes the original post, I just saw previous comments about going to Cape Lookout and ran with it. If anyone has an idea of where to launch and stay in New Bern or Beaufort, let me know.

    New Bern, NC to Beaufort, NC day trip September 8, 2018 (Cancelled)

    Well, I just looked at the place we stayed last year that had trailer parking, Double Tree by Hilton in Atlantic Beach, evidently it is still closed following Hurricane Florence and does not have a projected date to reopen. The good news is that Windjammer inn reopens on 8 May, I have attached a...

    On a separate note, we are going to be down at Lake Murray for Memorial Day weekend this year, in the Batesburg-Leesville area. If anyone plans to be out that way, message me and I can start a thread on it for an unofficial gathering.
