Thanks. The shorter the better lol. 4.5ft sounds like a good height

I’m new to a VHF radio What’s a good antenna height for Lake Erie ? Long point Bay Area

Oh no. She’s well past warranty lol 2003

I’ve never hit anything so I’m guessing it’s been like this since I bought it mid last year. No performance issues last year. Alpha 1 gen 2 outdrive propeller shaft must be bent , wobbles when I spin it by hand Anyone ever straighten one while on the boat ? I saw a video of a guy doing it...

Multi-Meter Also a good idea.

Might have to just grab a test light to see which wire is positive and find a ground

When you put the new impeller in did you possibly put it in with the blades going in the wrong direction?

Are sierra and quicksilver considered OEM ? I see so many options for parts like IAC valves, plug wires , and cap and rotor kits $25 for an Amazon special or $180 for Quicksilver/Sierra

We had to throw out our boats snap in carpet when we bought it. Was not worth saving. What are the differences in the new carpet, vinyl or the foam Seadek ?

I’ll just say this. Everything use to seem cheaper in the US. Last trip I made over to the states for the day. it was not. Groceries etc seemed to be priced the same as in Canada, and with the dollar difference made it not really worth buying anything So say someone had $1million CAN saved...

Whats the choice for a cooler for the day or overnight ? Yeti ?? Our boat came with a cheep igloo cooler but ice doesn’t last very long in it

How’s your top speed ? In the proper rpm range? Is your time to plane reasonable? Of all are good id say keep the same pitch and switch to stainless You will likely see an improvement

We’re not fans of the back to back seat setup. Not enough leg room to sit someone backwards and use the rear seat. And the seat isn’t tall enough to see over the dash very well Also we need new carpet so now is the time to swap the seat before the flooring is cut.

Hi I’m looking for a matching seat for my 2003 chaparral 215ss. I want to remove the passenger seat and replace with a matching captains chair

Ya I’m glad it’s inside. I have some things I can work at over winter. I’m going to make some kind of solid rubber tire for storage with these rims since the tires are shot. And get some nice aluminum wheels
