Hey thanks Nathan for digging that up for me. So it says that while not required, it is strongly recommended. This sounds like typical bureaucratic double talk. Seems to me that if it is strongly recommended then it should be required, but hey, that's just me... David L

I have also looked through all of the regulation websites and have found nothing stating that it is a requirement. I threw the topic out here for some extra ears and eyes because more than one person has told me that a radio is required, also to be noted that the people that make this claim are...

Thanks Nathan and Keith, but I'm Really wanting to know if it is required by Louisiana law for my 20' boat to be equipted with a radio capable of contacting the Coast Guard. Thanks, David L

I live in Louisiana and my next door neighbor (also a boat owner) says that I need a radio capable of contacting the Coast Guard (should the need arise) in my 20' Reno sfiff. I am not able to find this requirement in any rules and regulations that I've read. Does anybody know anything about...

Thanks Sean, That sounds like a logical suggestion and I should probably use stabilizer even if I use non-ethanol fuel. There are two gas stations in town here that tout that the fuel they sell is ethanol free but I'm a skeptic and I have no way of knowing if they are on the up and up! Thanks...

Thanks Will and Nathan, my grandfather used to run the gas out of the motor years and years ago when I was a kid and that's before the introduction of ethanol. I had forgot about that until y'all mentioned it. David L

Hi guys David L here again with another question. I have a 2012 Yamaha 90 horse four stroke. Since it is a newer motor should I be concerned with running ethanol gas in it or should I try to stick with non-ethanol gas. Thanks again, David

Hey Guys, I have a 90 horse Yamaha four stroke on a 20' Reno. I just purchased an adjustable transom saver. My question is when I set up the transom saver what is the optimal angle (in relation to the transom) that I should have the motor tilted when locked into the transom saver while in...

hahaha, me likey! Thanks Keith By the way isn't it supposed to be "i" before "e" except in Budweiser? Just Saying... David L

My Reno has a little bit of bow damage. It is located where the bow abuts the front roller, It appears that it is limited to just the gel coat. I bought a fiberglass repair kit to fix it and even if just a coat of gel coat would suffice I'm going to go ahead and put a layer of fiberglass just...

It is in fact a center console however attached to and directly in front of the console is the live well and attached to that is a dry storage bin of the exact same dimensions as the live well and directly in front of that is a passenger swivel seat, so attaching it to any of that is not an...

Thanks for the welcome Sean and Nathan!!! DavidL

I just purchased a 20' Reno Fiberglass Lake Skiff with a 90 horse Yamaha 4 stroke. I want to secure my ice chest(s) to the side of the boat so that they don't go flying all over places that I don't want them to. I was thinking "D" rings with bungie cords, problem is I'm not too crazy about the...

Hello everyone, my name is David and I registered last night and the moderators have given me the green light to post. I recently purchased a boat and have a few issues that I'd like to get some feedback on. I see that there are over 4000 members so maybe a few of you will respond to my...
