I got new trailer bunks online from Amazon. Treated wood fully marine carpeted,high quality and not very expensive. Sawed to size, drilled holes and used stainless steel bolts. Looks better than the originals.

Re: Investing in paint for my ‘98X

Why are you using black tape rather than paint? Tape dulls after a short time and cannot return to original finish. I have experienced dull tape on my motor homes and had it replaced with paint.

Re: New 20 horsepower outboard

My new 60HP Honda cost about $10,000 including all necessary cables accessories and installation. Pre tariff motor. Outboard motors are ridiculously expensive. Good luck in your search for a good used motor. Try to avoid one that has been used primarily in Salt water.

Re: Tow boat, slip to ramp

This is what the Boat US internet shows. Looks like the Gold Plan would work for me. The person I spoke with before was quite abrupt and did not give me this option. If I break down at my dock, does my BoatUS Towing Service still work for me? BoatUS Towing Service is meant for tows resulting from br...

Re: Tow boat, slip to ramp

Boat towing insurance has a big caveat: it only covers towing if the boat is on open water. Since my boat is safely in a slip I have to pay out of pocket. I checked with the local boat towing that works with BoatsUS. they want $375 per hour with a 2 hour minimum.

Re: Repower and Repair or Sell?

I just put a deposit down on a new 60HP Honda. price with controls and necessary hardware and installation about $10,000. This was the last of their pre-tariff inventory. My Evenrude was overheating and would only run about 10 minutes and quit. Salt water corroded the water passages.
