I'm shocked to hear this. I haven't talked to Stan since we left boating and Oklahoma in 2011, but I've followed all his fun lake times on Facebook. Stan, I always enjoyed talking to you one engineer...

I am sickened by this today. I have been out of boating for a bit, so I didn't hear about this until today. I got to know Brad about 6 years ago when he did an engine for my boat. One of the...

Just cause it's a repo doesn't mean it wasn't maintained. In this economy circumstances change fast and force people into dropping the things like boats that are not necessary to live on. The owner...

Happy Birthday old man!:coolcowboy:

I typically sit while driving my 24 Super as well. That footwell is a mixed blessing though! I've torn my big toenail off TWICE on that thing!

Darn contractors! Sounds like you need to get an engineer involved!:evilb:

Thanks again! It has been a fun couple of days, and I think we have lots more fun ahead of us!

You just had to say it didn't ya?! :eek:

See, he can sleep like this because he hasn't met masher yet!

I forgot to give his name. Lee Matthew! I tried to...

Thanks everybody!

My new first mate has arrived! Now I just have to get him up to speed on the throttles!

I believe Dave's did. Are you looking for one?

Haven't had a chance to test it out yet! I have a wife who is now past due for her delivery date, so it looks like it won't be wet! :angry-smiley-038:

Looks sharp, that's all I know!:drink:

Thanks Matt! I'm actually looking at doing a bluetooth in the Mazda.

Can you please send me an email?

Thanks!

I think my first upgrade would be to add electric/hydraulic disc brakes. I had them put on my new trailer for a boat a fair amount smaller than yours and it makde a HUGE difference in driveability. ...

I'm not necessarily bashing Profiles. We had a lot of fun in that boat! It was a good entry level boat that a 24 year old could afford. It just isn't the quality that you'll get from most other...

Good link! Thanks!

Anyone know what would be a reasonably priced equivalent alternator to the stock Mercruiser unit? Mine is the 862031 unit from a 2000 454 MAG MPI. The replacement is $300 for Merc and $200 for an...

There's something wrong with Profile in general. Their boats were never known to be quality pieces. Lots of construction issues. Non straight chines were typical. The worst part about them was...

That sounds like a good idea. I have 2 coolers on mine so after the second one would be the spot for that.

I'm using the factory filter mount so I'm assuming that is aluminum. I suppose I could...

I'm considering adding an Oil temp gauge as I just went to a mechanical drive indicator and need to fill a hole on the dash. I'm thinking it could be installed at the oil filter relocation point...

Yeah, tell me about it! It was driving me nuts. I didn't even realize there was a fuse specifically for the tail light output on the 7 pin. Had to do some google searching just to figure that out.

Nevermind! Turns out it was a blown fuse on the truck. I guess I must have imagined getting power from the plug!
