My new (used) Cobra 525 has 2 x 90 hp 4 stroke Suzuki motors on. Took the boat to Harties this weekend for a first test. Lots of revs and it ran into the rev limiter quite quickly. Checked and she’s running 15 pitch 3 blade props. Is there anyone out there that has a simmilar rig that can give...

I just bought a (used) Cobra Cat 525. The boat has two under deck hatches running nearly the length of either side of the deck as well as a box hatch on the deck. To my mind the fuel tanks should be in the box hatch and the below deck hatch should be fish hatches. However, the boat has been...

I am selling my 2011 Xpression 520. Boat has 2 x 50hp 4 stroke Suzuki's with about 200 hours on(also 2011 models)including water filters. T-Top with rod holders, Scotty's, new VHF, Lowrance 6 DSI fishfinder gps, Hydraulic steering, beach kits, 4x 25lt tanks, new Sony radio (Bluetooth) and...

I am looking for a "spinner knob" (preferably stainless steel) to mount on my ski-boat steering. The hydraulic steering requires a lot of spinning of the steering wheel and the spinner knob would alleviate this issue nicely. Could anyone point me in the right direction here? I am in Pretoria and...

I have a Lowrance DSI combo and on this weekend's trip to Moz it showed that I was in Swaziland (I was 10 k's offshore about 60k's up from Xai-Xai.) Any ideas on a "quickfix"?

I am looking at buying an Xpresion 5.2 and fitting 2x 50hp Suzuki's. Any valuable opinions here?

Hi! So the wife convinced me and we are of on the cruise to Madagascar spending a day in Tulear. Has anybody been and fished there? I want to take a small spinning rig with if it's worth it(boneys, etc), but flying from JHB and all the schlep getting the rod there if it's not worth it...

Hi All! I took out a Falcon 5. 1(?)m RIB this afternoon. It has a 90hp Yammie on it and looks to be the business. He just bought it and asked for an opinion. The boat looks nice but handles like a dog (sorry Dog). It cavitated like nothing I have ever experienced, the slightest turn to Port and...

Okay, so I found a nice clean ski-vee 500 but she has only one motor. I can get Suzuki 4 strokes at a really good price and would like to put two on the back. Only problem is, Suzuki's not making 40hp 4 strokes! Would she handle 2 x 50's?
