    Any experience with tri-hulls?

    Hey everyone....haven't been here in a while since I sold my boat this spring(I know, I know....dumb move) at the time, I was supposed to be moving west to the prairies where I'd have to drive 4-5 hrs to find water deep enough to launch any kind of boat. Now, I'm staying put and have started...

    Lower skeg repair/replacement

    Does anyone have any feedback on replacement bolt on skegs? I nailed a rock over the weekend with my 40hp yamaha and took a 2" chunk out of the lower skeg. The missing chunk doesn't affect the performance of the engine at all. The prop survived(not even a knick) Any opinions on replacement...

    Anyone ever have an issue like this on a new boat?

    Has anyone ever had an issue like this with a brand new boat? When I first got my new princecraft starfish DLX last summer, I couldn't figure out where all the water was coming from. I thought at first it may be coming in from around the fittings for the live-well, then I thought it may be the...
