It looks like after owning a Volvo Penta for 5 years, I'll be back in a Mercruiser powered boat.

What's a good source for factory service manuals? For my VP I had found them online and saved the PDF, being able to print what you need is VERY nice.

Best place for parts?

DTS / other service info?

I use this site for all my Mercruiser research, part #'s and the few parts I have needed . Your new boat being a 2008 should
have the engine and drive manuals with the boat.

And of course you can get your BlushGard Black VAL 07-12 gelcoat for the "Lady" Here



Good Luck.

Thanks Capn. I was wondering when you would figure the boat out since she's been marked "deal pending" since mid week.

Survey Wednesday. In the 90s this week down there. Should be a fun week for me.

I kinda figured this boat was "Plan B" if Jill's Thrill did not work out, since it was the 2nd lowest priced one on the market, and newer.
I was in Ft. Myers 2 weeks ago for 8 days of vacation, and took a quick glance at the boat on our way to dinner. SW Florida Dave must have gave you the after his picture taking and once over ?
Hope "The Winns' Boy's" dropped the price somewhat for you.

Are you having them do the bottom and gel coat, or having it done by your yard?

So I guess you could not work out a deal with Jill's Thrill to include the daughter???

As it turned out, the daughter was thankfully not included.
