The 35s are solid boats. A close friend had one before he went to a 41. Here are a few observations. Solid ride but a dog with gassers. Look...
I have a 38 with 6-71TI and my friend has a 41 with 6-71TIB. I can only say that they are durable and reliable with economy that is not that...
Manny, As I posted in the Viking thread, I recently replaced my old Ideal with a new one. Give them a call. You would be surprised at what...
IMO you can't go further without knowing what is on the boat now. My setup has a single 50 and a single 30. I can use the 30 in a pinch but...
Just a bump. Still have the boat. Hours are approx 1350 and current ask is $189,000. Boat needs nothing and now has a new Charles battery...
Dave, My understanding is that for example, you could use the drum to haul up 2,000 ft of line stored in a separate bin on deck when anchoring...
IMO I would get a survey on a new boat. Relative to the cost it is worth it and any issues that are picked up can be taken care of ny the dealer...
NYCAP No question. My point is though that if I am trying to sell my own product and you called me saying that you have a cradle already...
One thing about raft manufacturers that amazed me. I replaced mine a year ago as stated earlier in this thread. There are only a handful of...
IMO the manufacturer's ability to provide satisfaction may be related to the actual component failure as well as the economy. Different from...
I agree. IMO you need a surveyor and if he does not have one, a mechanic to survey and evaluate the engines. That is alot of boat to push...
After replacing 6 batteries that were getting cooked by the original ProMariner, I replaced it with a Charles and no issues since.
Bob, Good luck with the purchase. We go to Watch Hill several times a season. Fire Island is a great place.
I agree 100% with wearing a PFD but listening to and heeding the marine forecast is the first step. Sometimes they are wrong but it was blowing...
VntViking, My wife and I cruise to Atlantic City at least once a season and are always looking for other ports to stop for a few days on our way....
To the new members, While not a senior member, I have been around this forum for a few years and I usually look in every day or so. You will...
Not a senior member but have been around here awhile. My .02 is that you should lock it at this point or you will have to moderate it closely.
Good luck with the boat. My wife and I love our 38. These are great boats.
I seem to recall that some of the speed signs have different rules for weekends and weekdays. Do the manatees read these signs and stay away on...
My friend has a 40 sold under the Wellcraft nameplate. Other than being a little faster than my Viking it (IMO) is not as well designed or built....
