Thanks everyone for all the nice comments. I have a lot of great memories associated with "Seas the Moment". Mostly the people I have met. For now I will have to sail vicariously through you guys with what you write on this board.
Thanks

Hi Everyone; I have been on this board for more than 5 years and decided to buy "Seas the Moment", our 2002X because of what I read here. But, Friday I watched her go down the road behind someone else's vehicle. Had to sell because of health problems. Just couldn't stand to see her sit bes...

I would be interested in that. Shasta, the Bay, Delta, their all good. lake Don Pedro is a huge lake that would also be good.
Would a Mastless Mac be welcome?

19.8 mph! That's WOT and 6200 rpm for my 50hp Johnson.
3700 rpm sounds good for cruising.
Problem is I promised my wife that this Johnson would "last forever".

I too have noticd very little difference in performance mast up or left at home. Mine is off for the rest of the summer also. Biggest difference is visibility. Much better for fishing too. No matter how hard I try, at least a couple of times a day I wrap the fishing line around something then whatev...

I have my X berthed on the Delta. I prefer to have the ballast in because of the extra stability. Much more comfortable when you meet a big cruiser throwing a 2 or 3 ft wake. I usually have no more than 3 or 4 people on board so I don't consider it a safety issue.

No Ballast, Mast up just under 20mph at 6200rpm on Johnson 50 4 stroke.

Thanks for the responses. I should have been more specific. These two batteries will be #'s 3 and 4 on my boat. They will be used to power a 24V trolling motor. When being used, they will be in series. I would prefer to use the 12V charger that I already have rather than spend another $100 to $200 o...

I have a question about charging batteries. I need to charge two 12V batteries. If they are connected in parallel, can they be charged with a single 12V charger and have the automatic function of the charger perform properly?
Thanks for the help.

We bought ours from Arena about 2 1/2 years ago. Got one of the last X's. Like Kevin said, "Real World Advice" They have always taken the time to answer questions and when I run into them at boat shows they have always rememberd me. Have had absolutely no problem with the boat that I didn'...

The wife and I were thinking this sounds good. How are the water levels.
How about the fishing?

Hi Everyone;
"Seas the Moment" is still berthed at Don Pedro Res so we will not be able to make it this year. Hope everyone has a great time. Ben & Helen

Our prayers are with you Jared.
Thank you for your service.

That's less than an hour away for us. We'll be there.
