Thanks

Very helpful

This Thursday I am leaving Detroit and Trailering my 46’ Black Thunder to Michigan City. I am planning on launching at Trail Creek Marina and cruising across the lake to Chicago. Later we will head...

It was in the thread "filler between couches"

After I posted this, I did see an earlier post in another thread that showed the storage in the engine room. Pretty cool set up. I am going to try it

I also looked at a 43 BT before I bought mine...

Has anyone added storage in any creative way? How are you using existing storage? I have a full Bimini with enclosure so am trying to figure out a more convenient way to store it

A very sad time for me, but "it is what it is". I am confronting some serious health challenges and have decided to consider selling my 2002 46EC Black Thunder. I love the boat more than any I have...

I don't know. I looked at it for sale 3 years ago prior to me buying the one I have. At that time, the owner wanted market price. Since then it was wrecked, now being repaired. I know the repair cost...

The boat next to west marine is being repaired. I'm allowing the fiberglass guy (a friend of mine) to use my boat to make a mold that will be used for the repair.,my boat is inside his shop now. He...

I've been in Key West all week for the races. I've been here 5 other times but, by far this year has been the best. Those of us from the LSC area can be proud. "Broadco" won wednesday, Friday and...

Thanks for all of the responses to my questions in the other threads. Now, the question for the day; when should the 500 EFI have an overhaul -- and what should be done (complete? Valves/springs?)

Hi Jim, thanks for the explanation. I need to trace the cables, just for peace of mind knowing which battery operates what. The previous owner kept both switches on "all". I will be home most of the...

There are 4 positions on each battery switch: off,1,2, and all. Nothing happens if I'm on the #2 position on either switch. What is the way I should position each switch? Everything works fine if I'm...

Prior to buying the BT I had a 33' Bertram. I bought a "magic bed" sofa that is made for RVs. Very similar in style.

Not sure how to get the backs off. I'm thinking the foam filler might be the easiest. The big downside is there is no place for storage (as has been mentioned). For the few times I'll use it, I'll...

The few times I will have the need for the filler , I'll just store it on the vberth for traveling and when at the dock . Bedtime: slip it in place

Probably not the best set- up, but I want to try...

Went to the foam shop today.they will make 2--31" long sections, total of 21" high. They use 4" foam (firm) with 2" section glued to it. Repeat process twice (total 18") and then top it off with 3"...

There is a foam factory near me, who makes custom foam. The couches are about 21" high. I'm thinking I could have 2 rolls made that would lie on the floor, squeeze between the couches. The foam would...

Has anyone used a filler between the 2 couches to make a more comfortable sleeping space? If so, what did you do?

I've looked at some blow up twin mattresses, but they're too wide. I've thought...

Mystery solved. There is an electric charged valve in the fresh water line. When you press the flush button the valve gets a charge and opens to allow water to flow through. Without pressing the...

Sonny: thx for the reply. I know it's something very simple. I didn't want to be a pest a d call you, just figured I would get some advice here. I messed with cock valve and ball valve under the sink...

My last weekend on the boat for 2013. Because of various commitments I only put around 50 hours on it this year. A great 50 hours though. For this weekend I took it around 40 miles from home to spend...

A luxury cruiser. Much higher than the normal 46. I didn't go on board but the deck comes up at a sharp angle just before the cabin way. I suspect that's a kit hen below

In the cockpit there are 3...

Yeah, I would really like hear an update also. The shootout is broadcast over local radio. Throughout the broadcast there were black thunder commercials announcing black is back and encouraging...

Another great day! Speed record shattered by 50' Cat running 6000 HP. Topped out at 224 !

During the day I heard that BT had a cruiser on display at Captain Ron's. I went by hoping to meet one of...

Good show today, excited for tomorrow. LOTO is a great area, captain Ron's, frank and Louie, big dick, larrywood, and more. Fun people --- nice boats

I saw the monopoly boat around 28 after the...
