I tow my 2000 X with a 2005 Saturn Vie, equiped with factory tow package and 250 hp V6. The engine is actually made by Honda It's the Acura MDX engine. I understand GM needed a new engine and made a deal with Honda. Pulls the boat with no problem. And when your not pulling the boat this SUV is quick...

As a matter of fact, after I submitted the first estimate it was discovered that behind the aux 6 hp engine the fiberglass was cracked from the boat hitting my engine and sent them an addit...

Kenoten, your right. The Hudson River is a fast running river and you need slack and a spring line on your boat. I have two stern, two bow and one spring line. Not to tight, especially the Mac the tides either push it away or pull it into the fingerdock. What marina are you in? I'm at Cornetter's in...

I do have to say that Boat U/S insurance was at the marina Saturday morning to inspect the boat. They even had it hauled to check for structual damage and found none. They told me to get a written estimate for the repairs and get it to them within 30 days so they can settle the claim. What a great c...

My damaged Mac X
I dock my 2000X in Piermont NY on the Hudson river. Wednesday the tide was so high that it when over the walkout bridge and 45 mph winds. I went to the marina yesterday to check on the boat and everything looked ok till I went into the head. I noticed that the liner was cracked at the curve just abo...

I have to drill a hole in the cockpit floor!
I'm in the process of mounting my new dashboard that I built over the winter :) . It will sit on top of the steering consol. The problem is that the hole from the cockpit floor inside to the cabin below is filed with steering cables and other wires and not big enough for me to get the depthsounder,s...

I use liquid bleach 1 cup a month, I fill the tank let it stand overnight and flush. I replaced the vent plug with a pvc valve vented through the hull. So if I keep the valve open 1/4 of the way the tank can vent from any build up of fumes. I also flush the tank with 1 gallon of bleach at the end of...

I have a 2000 X and what I did so I did not have to constantly lift the cushion and wood cover to get to the vent plug in the bow was to install a plastic elbo in the hole and ran a piece of 1/2 or 5/8 clear tubing to a pvc valve, then flex hose from the pvc valve to a through the hull. Now when I n...
