    Sorry for the dumb question but what are these on my 2016 Suncoast 250?

    Guess it's not a dumb question since nobody knows, including me. But I wanted to welcome you to net boat talk. Hoping someone will come around that does know the answer. Many of us were boating all weekend so there is hope since many have not seen the question yet.

    Gel coat discussion-I don’t get it.

    That is truly strange. I've never seen anything like that.

    Wingnut

    I just checked. Last he was here was Dec 2022. My how time flies. I only know him from here. Sorry no help.

    questions

    Twin engines and you topped out at 13 mph? Couldn't even plain off. What was the rpm when that happened? Did you leave the throttle open and then it straightend up or did you stop and go over and over till it ran right? Sounds like something got in your gas. Maybe add some seafoam to...

    New Boat Owner

    Safety course is an excellent idea. So is a 4 blade prop. But no rush on that if your 3 blade is working fine. I prefer stainless props but they can sure get expensive.

    Looking to buy a 1998 signature 270

    My daughter and son in law are looking to upgrade from their 95 four winns 200 horizen. So we've all been looking at used boats. New boats are out of the question. As are nearly new ones. But you can find a 15 or 20 year old boat with low hours that has been taken care of. Many owned by...

    Looking to buy a 1998 signature 270

    From my experience, book value on boats has to be taken with a grain of salt. Boats hold their value so much better than cars. To me, it seems NADA and others depreciate them like cars. I paid more than book value for my current boat, and for two of the boats I bought in the past. One of...

    Oil change

    I've had success pumping out via the dipstick tube. Did you take note of how much you pumped out? My pump has lines so you can see how much came out, which gives you a good idea if you got it all or not. Sometimes you have to wiggle the line around or force it down further ...or you forced...

    Stereo Upgrade

    I have stopped using my boat stereo when just floating. I use a bluetooth speaker. Saves the boat battery and it's portable so I can move it to any part of the boat where I want the tunes. Bought this speaker on amazon and it truly kicks butt. And last all weekend without a charge.

    Whale vs Boat

    I believe this was taken of a boat somewhere on Lake Erie.

    Boat Juice Cleaner/Protectant

    Never heard of Boat Juice. But I will share what has worked great for me. Mothers CMX Ceramic Spray Coating. Very easy to apply to boat. Makes cleaning the bottom a breeze. We boat in the Ohio river. We have a ring showing after being in the water a few hours. We usually stay in the...

    From happy to miserable in just 15 minutes

    Congrats. Back in business. I recently had lug nut problems. A slow leak on my Kubota RTV side by side so I needed to take the tire to a repair shop. I could not loosen the lugs. None of them. Got the breaker bar. Still no go. Put a pipe over the breaker bar to extend it by 8 or 10...

    Whale vs Boat

    While boating on our pool of the Ohio River (Marietta pool) we were floating minding our own. Friends are pulling up to us for a tie up and they stop and one shouts out; "You have a snake crawling up the side of your boat". Sure nuff, one had been there. The shouting or waves from them...

    From happy to miserable in just 15 minutes

    Man, so sorry. That is horrible. Hindsight is 20/20 but I will suggest Triple A, or having roadside assistance added to your vehicle insurance. I believe either could have helped you get on your way the same day.
