Is the seahawk II a different boat than the Mariner 3? Seahawk weighs 46lbs and Mariner weighs 73lbs. Why the difference if it's a direct replacemen

I have a Seahawks, last year's model, and they certainly look like they have the same design and equipment. I would check the sizes, if you haven't done that already,because the Mariner looks slightly larger,or slightly heavier material. I don't know why they are replacing the Seahawks with the Mariner, but although I have enjoyed mine and would buy it again, but it's likely a change for the better.

I use this radio regularly in a marine environment. GMRS range I have gotten about 2-2.5 mile range on average (this is over water distance for me). Marine is a much more difficult range to give, but I have had ranges over 20 miles on Marine VHF while talking to the Coast Guard (though they have really big towers on their end).Not what you asked, but I must say submersible is a loaded term. I am on my third replacement because the other two failed after submersion. (Though COBRA made the replacement process very easy, but reliability would be nicer.)

It appears to me that the Gex is lighter. Maybe due to the fact that the main shaft appears to be Carbon Fiber. I don't know if that's it being approx 3lbs lighter would be a good thing or not.

It is heavier than my previous smaller one. (Not counting the added water weight.)

I have a 21 foot sailboat that weighs approximately 1,200 lbs, and I have this motor on it. It works just fine getting us up and down the local river. Although it un-primes itself rather quickly once you turn it off, and it takes a minute to get primed enough and to pull it enough to start it. But once you get it started it runs quite well.

I believe it was 650. lbs. but the real issue is if you get sea sick... LOL... I loved the boat, but my ex got seasick on our grand adventure with our lunches out to sea.... There was plenty of room for two big people and places for fishing rods... This was a great little boat to get started and I was living on the water so I needed something I could carry by myself out to the dock, where I inflated and went down the river.

Bajamar: What product did you finally decide to use that has worked for your dog? I just bought a 37' sailboat and need to find something for my dog that weights about 65-70 pounds.

Beverly, I don't if ALL kayaks fit; I don't know ALL kayaks. I use the SeaWing to carry my Ocean Kayak Torque kayaks on top of a Dodge Caravan. I use the factory rack and the SeaWings fit nicely. The Torques are ~14ft long, almost 30" wide and weigh ~75 lbs. each; they are larger than average. I have driven at 70 mph and the kayaks are stable up there. The biggest reason I have these SeaWings is that I can drive into the garage with them during kayaking season, and don't have to take them off all the time. &lt;&lt;http://g-lu.smugmug.com/Family/2012-Christmas/i-nsrHfXs/A&gt;&gt;

As for maximum weight of motor no clue but this video shows that the mount will hold a 3hp which are all about the same weight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bs9aq-Twg1s. Be advised that these motor mounts aren't ANYTHING like a real wood transom or the mounts for hard body boats and can break with excessive use or abuse. The main thing is the metal tubes can come away from the mounting clips.

I have the Catalina. It's a bit heavy out of the water requiring up to four people to transport it when fully inflated. However, once in the water it's a great performer. The Baja is just a foot shorter and is made from the same quality material as the Catalina. I chose the slightly larger boat because I use it as a tender to my sailboat to get from off shore to the beach. The Baja is going to be just as stable as the Catalina.

I dont have the mariner model, but i saw several reviews mentioning problems with torn straps. Ive had no trouble with this bag at all, taking it hiking, camping, rafting and kayaking. Very durable and keeps supplies dry!

I don't know what the 3 lb figure in one answer refers to. This flute weighs 15 ounces on a postal scale, exactly the same as my 60-year-old King student flute which it replaces.

The original had handles and was rated to 300 lbs. (You can still find the original ones on eBay sometimes.) The newer one does not have handles and is only rated to 220 lbs.

I don't know the answer to your question but I am guessing different materials were used which explains the difference in size and weight.

I want to know the difference as well. Only thing i could find was that 3b net weight (28 lbs)is 3 lbs lighter than 2b. Not sure if that means less bolts in the packaging or slightly thinner steel. The reviews for 2b look better overall but the look is from the pics show them being identical..edit:Did some more digging. They are indeed the same thing and actually same price. According to another review site. Amazon ships the 3b even though it says 2b but listing has not been updated. Price + shipping of almost 20 brings price back in line with Amazons super saver shipping price. Hope this helps. I want to know the difference as well.
