Re: Who Really Wants A T-Top

Re: 130 SUPER SPORT with 30-HP

I think the best fuel economy would be at the boat speed that just puts the boat on plane.

Having fallen out of a boat when I was a teenager I always wear an [Engine Safety Shut Off] switch when I'm alone in the boat or with non-boater passengers. In 2021 I installed the Fell Marine wireless system. The Fell Marine wireless system works great. Note: the wireless transmitter or "fob&q...

Re: Montauk 210

I own a 2018 210 Montauk. Q1: Is a 210 MONTAUK okay for four and five adults for angling I'm sure you can fish with five aboard. I've done angling with four aboard, and it wasn't bad. Q2: is a 210 MONTAUK okay for six adults to cruise to a sandbar? Absolutely yes. I've had seven adults on my 2018 21...
