He feels mine has a ton of slip going on...

    2002 xl 2520 f225 prop upgrade ?

    Talked to Ken from prop gods today and he recommends the a mirage prop with 15 pitch. placed the order and will have it by next weekend to test out before I pull it for the season. Seems like a good guy and knows his stuff pretty well. Thanks for the referral.

    Albin 31 tournament express or 28 t.e.

    I also think I am going to stay with the outboard set up. I checked out the rabalo 305 and it is a nice set up , also the pursuit 335 is a nice boat. I wish there where more pilot house options as I love having cabin and doors. I guess we will have to wait till the 3420 gets a little older and...

    No I didn't run the 28 te as well. Ken has a new 28 newport edition for sale there as well as a brokage 31 te he is storing and servicing for winter. I thinking about the 28 te but was able to spend some time on one this summer @ block island and I was not real impressed with the over all...

    Albin 31 tournament express or 28 t.e.

    The Sabre is a beautiful boat and we looked at it today but is way out of my price range. Speaking of out of the price range but I think one of the nicest boats was the Wilbur Yachts made in maine. We talked with the builder and what a nice lay out for living, entertaining, and fishing pretty...

    Thanks for the reply but let me be a little more clear , I am not looking to entertain or live aboard just looking so have room to sleep another couple after a day out on the water and drinks at the dock. We spend our whole day in the back of the boat fishing and having fun so I love the size of...

    Albin 31 tournament express or 28 t.e.

    Still thinking about making the jump over but I was able to spend some time on a 28 flush deck and not overly impressed. I definitly would not give up my parker for the 28te, and we are still going to take a look at a 31te but i hope it shows better than its little brother. Now we are talking...

    Albin 31 tournament express or 28 t.e.

    That is pretty slow , but there is a twin motor option in the 31 so I would hope it would have a better top speed than that. I would not be happy going that slow either. Talked with a 28 owner today and he was real happy with it but they are no speed demands.

    Albin 31 tournament express or 28 t.e.

    We are very happy with are 2520 and it is a great boat and having a great summer with it but we have to stay aboard it on the weekends and although not a huge problem it gets small quick and always moving stuff from night @ the dock to running around during the day. It would be nice to be able...

    2120 tackle storage cabinet

    nice cabinet looks great. I would love a storage cabinet like that but my 2nd station is on that wall. Love my boat but a little more oganized storage from the factory for fishing gear would be nice, my helm seat storage has turned into a mess over time.
