Looks great. Here in England I now always fill my boat up on the road, usually in Costco as the fuel is so much cheaper than it is afloat. It looks as cold there as it is here 😂
@@nicksahoy6240 No, the propeller places are best. The skeg protects the propeller. Well, yours doesn't, but it protects the prop and is also the rudder. You are also losing some steering capability. It's best to suck it up and keep both in top condition.
You should fuel your boat up fully at the end of the season instead of now. Doing so will leave little room for air inside the tank. If there's air, moisture in it will condense as it cools down and drop into the tank. I always refill my tanks at the marina right before I yank it out of the water. Before they built the marina, I'd stop and refuel it at a gas station on the way back home. I only have time to boat on the big 3: Memorial, 4th, and Labor Day so I just trailer my boat 2 hours to get to the lake, then spend 7-10 days on the boat. If the marina wasn't insane I'd get a slip, but I'm not paying close to $5000 a year for a slip for my 30' Doral on a lake that has nothing on it (bars, restaurants, clubs, etc.), and a marina that just has docks, fuel, and a store, no other amenities.
Damn that is expensive. This is on Narragansett bay in Rhode island for half that price. Normally I would atleast put stabilizer in or fill it up but I didn't want to dump another 40 gallons in the tank till I was sure I was going to use the boat a bunch this year. First time I've ever had a slip in the 12 plus years I've been boating.
@@nicksahoy6240 Nick how many boats they launch seen and did you see my boat any where down at the marina and how do you fit a table in your boat if it small
In hopes that we will use the boat much more. It's a lot more convenient to drive a car to the marina hop on the boat and go then to have to launch it every time. I've been trailering my boats for a long time so this will be a new experience!
@@nicksahoy6240 I guess so. Keep an eye on the crud that grows on boats left in the water. It will slow the boat, increase fuel consumption, and clog water intakes making the engine run hotter. And it's ugly.
Hope you’re using some kind of marine treatment. Ethanol fuels (pump gas) is so hard on marine engines. I only run ethanol free due to my years of working in the marine industry
You're lucky to live somewhere that still sells pure gas. Most states require 10% ethanol gas, pure is banned. Biden was pushing hard to force the few remaining states that sell pure gas to ban it, and only sell crap gas. They've been pushing the same BS in the marine and aviation industries as well for years. So far I can still get pure gas but it's around $1.25 / gallon more expensive than meatloaf gas. Don't know if it's taxes or supply that's been driving the cost way up - it used to only be about a $0.30-0.40 premium for it.

hey jimmy do you know anyone that is intrested in a 32 ft sea ray boat and the boat is free but the outside looks great but the inside need work
A prop place can fix that ratty skeg. But it's even better to not drag it on the ground.
It was busted before I bought the boat, but good to know. I've also debated getting one of them bolt on replacements.

Why would you pay for a slip if you have a trailer?

First tank is land fuel, the rest of the year will be the expensive marine fuel on the water lol
