    steering question xb2002

    they are done, rusted, cracked and I can barely turn the steering wheel. Up here in New England, there are not may speed freaks and yes I know its a 1500 investment but if I can't test drive it, then no one will want to buy it. and who knows, if I like the steering, I may keep it!. but most...

    steering question xb2002

    ok so I have been on and off about doing this for 15 years! well now everyone has hydraullic steering and it is a selling point. I have a 94 xb2002 with a merc 225 promax, it has only been in the water once or twice a year for the last 4 years when the motor was completely rebuilt. probably not...

    what should I do before I sell

    Well I have not used my 94 xb2002 more than once or twice a year for the last 5 years so it's time to go. I have owned it since 95 and have nothing but great memories but life changes. It hasn't been over 80 mph in 4 years. it has a 97 225 rebuilt promax. runs strong, but needs a few things. So...

    How do others describe your boat?

    oh and now I get " how old is that?" I say its a 94, 19 years old and they reply " it looks like new!" Now alot of guys are running high 79's to low 80's so it takes a little more to catch them but I still do. Then at the end of day when my groupies are hanging out after we win a tourney, they...

    How do others describe your boat?

    well the comments have gotten fewer since I bought my 02 in 1995. when I first got it, I heard 'wow, that looks sexy" "wow that looks fast!" after fishing the old Bassin America trail, my non memebers would always tell their Ranger buddies that my boat rides MUCH better than theirs"-- "fast...

    So afte18 years and 2 sets of cables, I'm gonna do it!

    The decision has been made! I am going to get hydraullic for my 1994 xb2002 which I bought in 95. So where is the best place to buy it from? as I remember, there are different pumps? do I need the 6345 or was it 5345? Do I need a new helm? what length hoses do I need and I also remember people...

    am I stuck with hydraullic?

    ok, so I have decided to sell her, should I invest the money in hydraullic and get it steering like a ferrari or adjust the price down? Problem is that it is so tight now, it takes 2 hands just to turn it and it is an arm killer above 70. I know the yahoos around here, will think there is...

    The Allison ice breaker!

    sometimes the ice is so thick that I can't drive through it so I drive up on top of it with the Ally then get on the front deck and jump up and down until it breaks then throttle up onto it again and repeat! been doing this for 15 years and there is not a mark on the hull! The boat is truly...
