Took a nice ride up Black River in Port Huron on Labor Day. Saw this sweet ride...
Pershing 108. Surprised they got it that far up the river.

Re: Labor day!
Our weather in fl was abd still is- normal for this time of the year. Rare not to have a hurricane to talk about just about now. We are 45 miles inland so tornados more our concern.
Great pictures, thanks for sharing!

Re: rinker 370 2017, on/off switches, generator, alternators,
My 2008 350 does not have a separate battery for the generator. The generator shares the port start battery. Perhaps you could post some photos of your setup (batteries plus charger)? I think the factory configuration for the 2007/2008 350 and 2009+ 360/370s (same hull) was 2 start batteries and the house bank, where the AC charger and isolator had 3 outputs.
Charging while on shore power or generator only happens when the battery charger is on (breaker at AC panel). Switch position at stern DC panel doesn’t matter.

Question about differece between 2014 and 2017 290 Express Cruiser
I just bought a 2014 290 EC. We're really excited to drop it in Lake Tahoe this month. The one drawback my boat has is the lack of a cockpit cover and the enclosure while functional is a bit too far on the "used" side. I realize that I can have a cockpit cover made and am looking into that. I have also been talking with a guy who has a 2017 cockpit cover and enclosure for sale which would cost me significantly less than having one made. Would anyone care to comment if this is a dead end, or could I (with some professional help possibly) make this work?
thanks and really am digging this forum,

Re: Full enclosure fit year to year question
Here’s an idea. Pick up a hardtop for your boat!
https://www.greatlakesskipper.com/rinker-boat-hard-top-tower-2210776-97-1-2-x-51-inch-white-scuffs
They dropped the prices by about $2000 recently. I paid about $6000.

Re: Full enclosure fit year to year question
Nevermind, I see now that HT means hardtop which is totally different than my radar arch config. Glad to have found this forum though.

Re: Pic Of The Day
Impeller and propellers….definitely need both on a boat for them to work. Chris, I sure hope you’re getting good waxing in while it’s pulled. Heck, save money to pay for those props by making your own shoulders sore 😀.
