I don't know much about this but they seem decent. Is it easy to swap buckles? Any links for recs?

Thanks. I rarely trailer. So I'll keep an eye out for price drop.

Yeah those are the ones just make sure to get stainless version.

SS scupper good to go. Figured 3 seasons on the original plastic one was enough. ?

@adrianp89. We went with BoatBuckle, they are easy to use and work well. We have to trailer an hour to and from the lake each time we go out, no slip space and the wait list is like a year out yet. So we just deal with it, but the BoatBuckle's have been great for us. Slightly pricey wont lie, but work extremely well.

Is it easy to replace?

Not bad really all things considered. This thread and the other one linked in there (the "almost sunk my boat" thread) convinced me to get it done sooner rather than later! Lots of good info on the part and how-to.

Just finished cleaning and resealing the rear hatch with 3m 4200. Then Added the JBP access riser plate along with a new stainless drain and new hose that isn’t kinked. Hopefully this will keep water out from that area at least. I still need to do the anchor locker drain next week

 

[Mshu714]

Finally installed the SeaDek from the group buy. Turn out good. No time to hit the water!!!

 

[adrianp89]

Waited twenty minutes for a slip.

Line in the water to come in was insane by the time I got the truck. Complete shit show And people fighting at the ramp. fun times.


earlier in the day counted at least 8 Yamahas. One guy is on here. Chatted up with a 255XD owner for a little too.

UPDATE: Took the boat out today for a couple hours in rough seas and once we got out of the water and pulled the plug, and finally, no water came out. I highly recommend resealing,new drain and riser adapter! Works great!

looks like bay pines to me that place can get really bad

 

[RNYCLV]

finally got out.....

 

[adrianp89]

Yeah it was Bay Pines. I've never it seen it to that level before.

 

[adrianp89]

Washed the boat at my friends house. For some reason the FSH195 is longer than the AR190. The fronts were lined up spot on.

Man I'm disappointed in myself. Got the boat out and took 0 pics. Had to hustle as I was dodging storms. Cleaned the mooring cover and treated with 303, changed the oil, and got the batteries back in. Went to start it and one of the motors didn't even turn over. No noise or anything. After a couple clicks with the key it turned over and fired up and shut off a few times. Then ran fine. No check engine lights or anything. Other motor started fine. I didn't warm the motors up before I changed the oil. That's the way to do it as there was basically no oil in the filters after sitting for 7 months. No mess to be cleaned up.

Installed my new Reborn wakeboard/knee board mount. Figured while I was at it I could install the license plate on the new holder I ordered from Amazon… only to realize that the trailer has one built in on the other side! Oh well- it was only 5 minutes wasted ?

Cleaned up the interior today. Treated the vinyl and gave the interior surfaces a wipe down with hot sauce. Need to pull the mats out of the shed still and get those cleaned up and treated.

This was a couple weeks in the making as parts came in but full JL setup MM105 headunit, M700/5 & M400/4 amps, M6s 7.7 inch speaker and M6 10 inch sub. As well as Simrad GO9.

 

[JBehrens]

Changed oil and plugs today then cleaned the engine bay. #4 cylinder plug was burnt bad but not sure why.
