F for front and G for 4 rear...I have aired them from 75 to 90 to 110 and the tracking is much better at 110. The ride empty is harsh, if you don't air down, I go to 80 all arond then if i am off loaded for a long while...otherwisw I just deal with it...not worth the fiddling around to air all six. ...

How's this for ALLOY? Bumper from Australia. Wheels are MKW 19.5's all six.With the 19.5 and the tire to go with them the wheels actually are heavier than the stock 17 and tires, but the stability and ride are soooo much better! Not to mention the increased milage befroe needing new tires, run them ...

[quote="Lucky Louie"]I . The exhaust system I have is neat as it breathes, but does not have that "6 cyl. DRONE" you hear from most of the trucks with the 5" exhaust systems. [quote] After changing to 4" and the Donaldson muffler i have the drone as well...I just turn u...

Don't want to hijack this thread but here's one that I have been thinking about..anyone doing this? Or if it should be a thread on its own tell me and I'll get it started. Has anyone installed a throttle cable to maintain throttle setting and not speed? Another forum I am on has a big discussion goi...

Now that is funny!!! I'll be off to run the fireworks dinner cruise...from Kirkland on lake WA into Lake Union where the show will be and back..with a 1 hour transit from our docks both ways. Gasworks park will have about 40K folks jammed in and just about that many boats on the lake...in fact the a...

21..thx! What a neat trip to do and the weather is good too, good winds for sailing!

OK did I miss something? Moving about Puget Sound was verified when I opened the Google stuff as the lat long was familiar...DAH!!! Is there going to be a trip/fishing report later? Capt PJ

Come to think of it the old trailer had BP tires in 510x13...it was only a 16' boat...I wore them out and had no issues otherwise...I am going to go to my GY guy and ask some pointed questions...thx for making me think back...also Trailer tires are made to sit for long stretches of time and not get ...

My new trailer has the GY Marathon seem to track nice and good looking tread design like it will handle rain well and not get too slippery when the surge comes on. MY old trailer used what ever brand Discount (America's) Tire sold...gt lots of miles and they seemed stable. As you probably know don't...

Here's a couple of boats i saw while out on a rainy Seattle Capt PJ

This is simple and good for this smaller boat. I got the front mounting bracket from MAGNA the Marine BBQ folks to make the custom board to fit my aft transom area. It is Starboard 3/8" all fastened with SS screws as it cannot be glued. It tilts off the back for easy cleaning, but the droppings...

Clist listing is GONE!! what happened? Capt PJ :-?

2.83 HI TEST at Costco this morning! Tacoma WA Capt PJ

That looks like MINE!!! I bought it back in 1965, I truck (1949 Chevy split window 216ci 6 and 3 speed) topped it on a stake system...had a 1959 10HP Johnny...that brown color aluminum cased motor and old metal tanks with glass level needle windows...sold her in 1975. I think you paid what I paid ne...

Hmmmmmm DRIVE? Isn't that like calling the "deck", the "floor" of a boat, Captain?? Looks like Gravy and Biscuits. I believe I may have been the one. Yep, that's one heck of a cruiser It ain't alloy is it? If not "Welder, get ready with that ticket book!" We have one t...

Somewhere someone asked for pics of what I drive as a Captain. So here we are! Emerald Star is 105' 249 PAX twin 6-71turbo and weak bow. Olympic Star 95' 149PAX twin 6-71turbo no bow. OS and ES Puget Sound and lakes. Destiny 75' 49 PAX lakes only twin CAT 3116 http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc34...

I see from the specs that the free-board is the same as my Raider...this is a good depth! Even so my Raider is a 185 it has the bracket which makes her 20 and a little faster and much safer with a full transom. I was out in the sound with some good winds and steep stuff plus current running the Narr...

Welcome to the world of Aluminum...I am new to it as well...in the welded world. Had an old VALCO 12' car-topper in the mid 60's. Had a vintage (meaning really beat up) 16' Arkansas Traveler (about 1959 or so) this summer which I moved as I wanted the trailer for another boat and an Aqua Pro aluminu...

Thank You Welder, Actually I was working today from 0900 to 2200hrs on cruises all day aboard steel boats in Lake WA and Lake Union in SEA. It was a pleasant day and good crew. Had a surprise party after the cruise last night, which was a wedding that I was officiate for and Captain...the crew twist...

I am thinking of installing an anchor windlass on my Raider. There is plenty of room on the foredeck and the rode storage area would be a straight drop from the windlass chain port thru the foredeck. The wires and installation with some reinforcement of the deck before bolting down the windlass woul...

Great BUY!!! Keep the pics coming...this is going to be fun to watch! Someday I'll get back to FL and hopefully go for a ride! Sweet! Capt PJ

Wow! My window just rattled...the wind and temp change predicted just happened to was 88 about 10 minutes ago it is now 72 and the SW is 15 to 20...sure glad I am not out on one of the cruise tonight with those SKipperliners...the cool air feels good! Capt PJ

Razor, That is impressive, I have seen a 1998 Dodge at the Dyno days in Enaclaw crank out 700HP, black smoke everywhere the fans couldn't keep up. If I was going to do anything else, I do injectors next only mild ones about 60HP...as the weak link is the auto tranny. But the way she runs now, I got ...

Lester, Sometimes I wish I had a 6 speed. Yep being a dually and auto with a 2004 5.9 it sure is sweet! No issues yet with 105K. I added a BD Torque Converter and Valve Body...4" exhaust with a see thru Donaldson muffler,Cold air intake using the OEM box with 4" intake in front of front wh...
