I believe one of the 25s is being sold through SportCraft. I just got off of the phone with them today about a trailer.

It isn't ideal, but isn't bad either. The tanks have easy access with the cowl on. Reference page 32 of the owners manual here. http://www.tohatsu.com/tech_info/own_man_pdfs/Toh_40B_50B_70B_90B_115A_TLDI.pdf It has a nice little image. If it was me, I would probably go with twin Suzukis if...

Are you buying a new boat Bob?

Those Tohatsu TLDI 90s have a great reputation. The issue always becomes dealer proximity. I too searched high and low for complaints about them and couldn't find anything online except positive comments. Being 2 stroke they are definitely lighter on the transom than a 4 stroke, although...

I actually already engaged them and ended up with a higher quote with the same stuff as I received from Sportcraft. The model everybody keeps pushing is a TEZB 102B 7500. The reason being the one that you quoted up above is way too narrow.

Doug, Can you post or PM me the model number and options of your Float-On? It would be very appreciated!

The King that was recommended was for 7000 lbs. This whole process has been a real mess. It seems utterly asinine that I can buy a nearly new compact car for the price of a few pieces of galvanized steel or aluminum, some cheap tube axles, etc.

I never thought this process would be so time consuming and expensive. Nearly $10k for an EZ Loader out with the higher 8500lb weight rating and that is without electric over hydraulic.

Do we know who bought this? What was the outcome?

The attitude of a number of our customs agents really stinks. I travel a fair bit in and out of the country and it is amazing how poorly represented we are at times. These guys try and treat their districts as little fiefdoms and they forget they work for the American Taxpayer. I won't ever...

Those of you running EZ Loaders. What model are you running for a 25 classic or 26 venture? I've been recommended the TEZ102B 7500 which is a trailer designed for 26-30' boat with a 7500 pound weight rating. Comes with 4 bunks, torsion axles, 225\75R 15D tires and comes in at 1913. I've...

Just wanted to let folks know that Gary Estes does NOT sell trailers, only services them. That being said, what a fantastic guy and a great resource. I called up this evening and left a voicemail and had a call within 15 minutes. He freely offered his advice on what brands he preferred and...

Do any of you folks know if Gary Estes sells trailers directly? Seems like I might as well get one from the expert if I can.

I'm in Oregon so will be buying one in Oregon or Washington. I appreciate all of the input so far. It sounds like King perhaps has become more customer friendly than they once were? Reading some of the horror stories was terrible.

I'm very close to finalizing a deal for a Venture 26 without trailer. I've talked to EQ and Kitsap Marine in order to get an idea of pricing and both recommended a King Trailer and prices came in around 6500-8000. I read on the forum that a lot of you folks don't care for King trailers. What...

Don't think you can... isn't the hull only rated for 200hp on the 25?

I was hoping you salty bastards hadn't discovered this boat, lol. I should have known better. It ended up going for just over 38k. I found it a few days ago and have been following it and bid it up to 38k at the very end which was my limit. Congrats if a fellow C-brat won her. Let us all...

I don't want this to become a thread about how today's modern outboard is bulletproof reliable and that a kicker and twins is a smarter choice. I don't want to hear that twins are not necessary, etc. This has been debated up and down and I think that both sides have their point. I ask because...
