Thanks. Here's the only one i've got so far. We've already put about 20 hours on her. Spun a hub too and had to replace a leaking trim tab cylinder and a thermostat. The kids love the boat and all the space. We've spent one night on it so far and it worked out well.

[Pipe_Dream]

Congrats! ;D She looks real nice.

Someday I hope to be in a boat capable of an overnighter.

[C YENSEN]

nice boat, i wish i could spend a couple all nighters too

[Stinky_Hooker]

oh comon!!!! Ive done a couple all nighters on the 18!!!















but it sucked butt big time!!! :D

[CT_V-20]

thanks guys.

skool, is your sportsman's head plumbed? if it is, where is the holding tank. mine has a basic porta potty and i want to plumb it so i don't have to empty it manually :P.

[Skools Out]

Yeah i'll get some pics of the holding tank. I have a 24 gal fresh water tank too that it uses for the sink and the head. I'm going to change that to a raw water flush so it will save on water. What yr is yours?

[CT_V-20]

it's an '84 with a '00 5.7L Mercruiser EFI and an Alpha 1. i've got the freshwater tank too. the fridge is gone and that space is used as storage now. i'll put more pictures up after i take some

[Skools Out]

Mine is an 84' as well

gr8 lookin rig CT! yeah stinky, ur right. it is just a question of dedication! i done many an overnighter on my skiff. rode the ship island ferry out and spent the night on the island 100's of times, back when you could. but CT got it going on now, a place where he and the little lady can get busy, without the skeeters chewing on his balls, priceless!

How do you spin a hub ??
Replaced my prop a few weeks ago and noticed what I believe to be the hub is now plastic.

[Skools Out]

get air around the prop and the rpm's jump and spin the hub inside the prop

[msbhammer]

SCHOOL, IS the a CURE for Hubbing ;D

[reelapeelin]

Hey guys...those 248s look GREAT!!! Over nighters for SURE!! 8) 8) 8)...

[Skools Out]

Here's mine

Hey look I added a new Album for my 248 / 250

[CT_V-20]

msb, the rubber thing inside the prop that seats against the prop shaft wears out and the prop shaft spins inside the prop without biting. as a result, rpms go up freely but forward momentum drops. i had my prop sent out to get "re-hubbed."

skool - i'm waiting to get my password and username for the gallery so i can change my pics and add more of the 248. nice boat

[phester]

[reelapeelin]

That last shot brings a whole new meaning to "Handle With Care!"... ;) ;D...

[msbhammer]

I heard that boats that have head drains need to be inspected by the C.G. or some are illegal now ??
I do know, at least from the big dive boats, that you cant discharge until you are 3-miles out.

[Skools Out]

;D Hammer that's correct but after dark all goes lol run out of the marina and dump you load run back to the marina lol. ;D

[macojoe]

I did alot of cod fishing on that boat!! My friend had one that we would go 40 miles out in.

Nice boat!! Good Luck!
