Bottom pain will cost you about 8-10% in top speed. A boat that runs 45 with a clean gel-coat hull will drop down to about 41 with most ablative bottom paints. Painted hulls also ride lower at the...

First of all, I erred. The max capacity persons, motor and gear is 1375 lbs., not 1325.

The USCG assumed per-person weight from 1962 - 2012 was 160 lb per person. Prior to 1962, the assumed...

I own a 1987 18', which according the state of Florida was first titled in September of 1986. That would make it one of the hulls actually built by CSY but then sold to Tracker Marine, and...

Back in the early 80's when I managed Waterway Marina, I took in trade and resold a '76 20' SF that had been converted from sterndrive to inboard. It was powered with a 350ci/260 hp Mercruiser motor...

Just a note about oils: The 2003-2013 5.3 LS motors used oil pumps rated for either SAE 5w-30 or 5W-20. Later motors ALL had pumps rated for 0w-20 oil. In my 2014 Silverado the dealer said I could...
