What Did You Do To Your Boat This Week?

[Squire]

Did you put a slope on the PVC to help it drain? I may have to do the same thing.

Yes I did. I made a bit of a jig to cut straight lines and offset the one end by about 3/16” to create the slope.

Well it is has been a long time in coming...! I finally replaced the original motor on my 2004 Silver Streak. The old motor was a 1999 Honda 130hp. It performed very well for most of the last 20 years, but finally succumbed to a rusted out cooling system.



My new motor is a 2024 Mercury SeaPro 150 with a 4 blade Spitfire prop. Bought it from Bridgeview Marine for a good price with 918 hrs. as a lease return. It still has full warranty until June 2026. Got with the new VesselView blue tooth unit where I can get all sorts of performance and diagnostic info sent to my iPhone. Can't wait to sea trial it!!!

The water drains inside my Yamy 150 cowling were totally plugged up with nasty crud. Check yours people !

The storage mezzanine is huge, which is great

Nice, would love to know the performance numbers vs the old honda! I've been drooling over the torque specs for the merc. Looks like a great buy.

Finally got the bbq set up. I'll say it again, Burnwin officially changed the mount game.

I’m interested…like it actually sits there without looking like it’s gonna fly off at any minute?

Not a chance. Rock solid but adjustable and removable in seconds.

Do you cruise at speed ok with it on the gunnel? Do you pull it when you fish? Have you got a good place to stow it? I always had challenges on my 23 footer with my bbq. I’m currently looking for a bigger boat. Just curious.

I'd be confident in running it on. The table is much heavier and it doesn't move at all in the burnwin. I offset it so I can still access the rods, and the burnwin mount shoots it out 6" so the clearance at the door is maintained. I had the a lot of trouble with the bbq on the 24 bayliner as well. Couldn't stand moving it around. Once I experienced the full-time mounted q on the commander, I was dreading going back to it.

The kuuma rail mounts for bbqs work good for seabcues too. Run a regular bolt/washer/lockwasher/nut through so it’s permanently mounted. Weird that seabcue doesn’t have anything more permanent

On top of the seakeeper

On top of the seakeeper

That should keep the seakeeper lubed up

I wonder if Scotty will come up with a competitor premium line to Burnwin? It can be their Lexus line like Toyota. Maybe buy the company doing the machined aluminum. Let’s go, time for Canadian business to crush this American upstart.

I really doubt anything coming out of Canada could compete. Not that Burnwin stuff is cheap, but they can't be making much off this stuff. The machining has to be crazy expensive

All depends on what tools you are using to do the job, Peetz for example had or has a machine that can work on about a dozen reels at once. CNC machine centres that work lights out can produce a lot between 4pm-8am while everyone has gone home.
