Re: Why would I want an underwater light ?

Only $2395? Each? For a :idea: Wow, what a bargain! :P :|

Using a light at night to attract fish, to catch them, is cheating, imho.

Re: Decisions, decisions... Which motor and why?

What am I doing with it? I'll be learning to sail, while in the Pacific northwest, so I know that tides and currents are always an issue. Short trips to local islands and Desolation Sound, and overnighters, but no week-long excursions until I'm more comfortable with the boat. There are a few stretch...

Re: Decisions, decisions... Which motor and why?

Thanks for the the replies! I hadn't considered prop size before. Doh!
I do think I will be using the motor a lot.
My last boat had a smoky engine, ... it was horrible, even without a cabin.
Thanks for the iBoats heads up!

Re: Roller Furling for My 26X

Oh nice!

Keep us updated on how it goes, as I may have to do the same, and was wondering how difficult it is.

Decisions, decisions... Which motor and why?

Here's my choice....

1999 50hp Nissan, 2002 Johnson 50 HP, 1999 Honda BF50A 50 HP, or a 2006 Etec 60 hp

Can I ask you all-knowing-and-powerful boat gods to share your insight into these motors? Reliability is my main concern. (It would be for a :macx: )

Thanks in advance!

Re: WHITE OR BLUE?

This question is particularly relative, as in Relativity. For an observer, the light seen coming from an :macm: heading directly toward them is proportionally shifted to appear more blue. So in a way, you can have the best of both worlds by buying a white hull and speeding towards people. (Note: onc...

Re: Easy trailer maneuvering

Nice! Question... How easy or hard is a Mac X or M on a trailer to maneuver by hand? (as in swinging it around, or pulling it a few feet, both on grass and on pavement) I used to be able to manhandle my 17' boat around the yard, is that possible with a 26' Mac? Or is a tow vehicle always required to...
