Welcome! We have a few rules here.

1. Post pics of your boat.
2. Post pics of your boat.
3. Post pics of your boat.
4. It helps a lot if you create a signature with details of your boat, power package, tow vehicle, etc., so when you post questions people will have something to start with.
5. Post pics of your boat!

:mrgreen:

Welcome Aboard!

I have a 1993 245 Vista that I am repowering and am excited to move into the cruiser so we can overnight on the water. My buddy has an 88 245 so I am fairly familiar with your boat.

As Mike has stated above... Please learn to post pictures. It sometimes can clarify alot if we can see your actual problem or question topic firsthand.

Welcome Tim and congrats on the boat purchase. There are a few of us on here that boat in the Door County area. If you have any questions or concerns with the "big water" just ask.

Welcome aboard! You'll get lots of replies this time of year because all most of us have to do is sit around and daydream about boating, boating related products, boat improvements, etc.

We met a couple on Pewaukee lake that had just bought a SL262 last June and were headed up to Winnebago the following weekend, could have been the same one...Nice looking ride, but also a lot of work watching them pull it out of the water.
