Looking to add speakers to a 2007 40 PC with IPS and hydraulic platform. I want to be able to have sound in the water and the volume not so loud in the cockpit! Has anyone done this or have input on a good way to do this?

I'm shopping for a 88'-90' 292 as I prefer it over the 303 for the enclosed head. I also like the 311. I'm just baffled as even though I'm a formula owner (1997 280 SS) as to why 292's are still listing in the high 20k and 30k range. I can buy a 1993 303 SR1 for around 20k or less from a dealer...

I have a buddy with a 07 40 pc he wants help adding speakers to his transom. The one request or idea he has it to be able to control the volume to those speakers seperate from the cockpit speakers so if people are in the water they can be turned up while leaving the cockpit off or down. While I...

Has anyone been keeping an eye on Gas Prices on the water! I know its the off season for most of us but I just did some checking while killing time. A Marina at Lake of the Ozarks just recieved a fresh tank of fuel. $2.24 per gal is what their website shows as of Jan 19, 09.

Love the lay out of this boat! Would actually be a great layout for what my parents want to get into since they are looking at the Regal 2700 right now. I know there are some dealers on here as well as great opinions from others but who does anyone have some insite about maybe getting ride of...

I had also planned to add a drive shower when I pull the boat for the year! What is everyone using! I had been shopping a shower from Justwickedmarine.com that I really liked but was walking the sales dock at glencove a few weeks ago and saw one on a new 35 ss with a shower that didn't require...

I have a 97 7.4 MPI with a Bravo III in a 280 SS. Last two times I've used it I have noticed Drive lube blowing out the top of the reservoir in the bilge! Anythoughts?
