    Seakeeper “trim tabs”???

    @HangOutdoors Yes these do operate like our trim tabs but interactively adjusts to dynamic roll and pitch conditions smoothing out the ride automatically faster than you can manually. It would be interesting if someone could use an audrino or other microcontroller to interface with our...

    2007 ar230 ho fogging?!

    16 years (fresh water) of Buffalo winters and never fogged my engines but now I am beginning to wonder. Last time I changed my spark plugs, the notorious plug #3 on the port side only looked a bit rusty. Suspect that by chance the #3 piston intake valve was open leaving the cylinder open to...

    OK, who was this?

    I saw a similar situation last weekend. The trailer is submerged too much to power on to the trailer and he missed the prow roller. The Chap I saw with his trailer in the water used his winch strap to haul in his boat (boat still floating) but secured on the roller and when he pulled out the...

    How old is too old??

    In my opinion, $28k for a 2006 or earlier is way too much when there are 2007 (model design change) and later that may not be pristine but will clean up well for that price and way less! I am sitting on Lake Keuka in western New York on a 2007 AR230 I would not sell for any price because it...

    2007 SX230

    Personally I would go with a 2007 2007 Boat of the year! 17 seasons of boating without any problems 200 hours on a 2007 is not unusual and means it probably was not idle for a season or two which is not a good thing for the MR1 engines...

    Engine bay soundproofing disintegrating and falling on top of engines

    I am surprised a 2018 sound insulation is going bad. My 2007 just started to “powder” this year. I would get it off while you still can rip off large chunks-wear a mask and cover your engines with a tarp. The black stuff gets everywhere.

    Evaluate this spark plug

    I just changed mine (every two to three seasons) It is a good validation on the health and performance of the engine especially if you are having problems. For example. I pulled my plugs and they all look good except the port side 3rd cylinder plug. It looked like the picture from Oakley24...
