    Does your generator stay running while on plane with a stepped hull in a Super Sport?

    Wow how things have changed here. I see all the specific boat categories are not here now and the site is condensed a lot. Since I can't target the FASTech and Super Sport 370/400 boaters I guess it just goes "general" now. So here's the deal. My 419 FASTech generator will not stay running...

    Gen cam not draw water while cruising

    This Kohler 4K gem is fine if we are in the slip or anchored out. If I get on plane it can not draw water then shuts down. I'm sure the shut down is exhaust over temp but why would it starve for water on plane?

    WTB 1997 and up 419 Fastech with Gen and AC

    I am looking at 419's Fastech hull only so keep me posted on anything you see. Some 1997 are stepped but not all so I can qualify a 97 if it is a Fastech. I have found some with no gen and that is no interest at this point. We want to overnight so the gen is needed. I am not wanting to butcher a...

    Formula is at the Atlanta Boat Show

    Well I have become kind of disenchanted with the Atl boat show because the offshore group had no showing and Formula especially was not there. Today I got an email from Formula stating they will be at the Atlanta boat show and the local dealer is CareFree Boat Sales. I had not really planned to...

    Happy New Year from Moscow Russia ****

    I tried this when we were 8 hours ahead of everyone but the site would not let my domain in. Now we are using a different domain so it is working at least for now. Since then we have gone south to Penza for another week and doing so many Yolka's that i wont forget them soon. Some shots from Red...

    Control cables for indicators: what legnth goes where??????????

    I posted this up on another site too but I hope to find the info and fill it in in both places or more. This is good to know for easier installation. On this TRS equipped 357 the control cables for the indicators are 19', 23', 24' and 25'. That said I want to fish them through by connecting the...

    *TRADE* 38' stepped hull trailer for a 38' mono hull trailer *****

    GSENT said the 357 for sale in Pittsburgh was nice and the trailer was nice too. Well I bought the boat and the trailer is nice....... but built for a 382 Fastech with a stepped hull. I could modify the trailer but it would be easier to trade someone for a mono hull bunked trailer for my 357...

    Need your help for my boat shopping!!!!!!

    I figured out that there are some super deals in Fastech 382's and 400SS's that are not on Boattrader, Powerboat listings, Yachtworld, craigslist and marine source. These sites have a lot of boats but there are so many deals that are only in marina listings or sites that do not pull up by the...

    I need a prop for a 330HP B1 1.5 ratio, maybe a 15-1/4 x 19 mirage. Anyone???

    Correct me if I'm wrong but I think I need a 15-1/4 x 19P Mirage for my 242SS. The power is a 330HP 7.4L with a Bravo1 at 1.5 ratio and I think this Mirage was the stock prop for this setup. I was going to mod up the engine for bigger power so I sold off all the stock stuff. Now I am going back...

    Who has "Autopilot" in a 400SS ??????????

    So, if you have autopilot where do you use it? Can it be used in rivers? Can it be used in inland lakes? I thought this was primarily for open offshore water. I know very little about this system and I'm wondering how much of a tight, confined water way it can be used in. Your input can help...

    Anyone tow a 400SS with a 3500 chassis truck???????

    How far do you tow with this set up if you do? I know that the engine load limit by the mfgr is around 18,000 lbs with 3:73 gears for most diesel 3500 trucks and with 4:10's up to 20,000 lbs. In either case a rolling 400SS is going to be over but how much can the diesel handle over its engine...

    Birmingham Boat Show

    Well here is the link to the show site. http://www.birminghamboatshow.com/ It is Jan 19 - 22. A little earlier than I thought. Usually it is in Feb. I just mark it by the Atl show because the Bham show is right after it. Anyone going?

    What issues are in the Volvo D6 370HP and 350HP engines??????

    I am on the fence between an 07 and an 09. The 07 is the 350HP and I don't like the ugly green color. I really like the white color of the 370HP engine. ;D Aside from my color objection are there any things to look for or issues known to either one of these engines? Is the joystick drive...
