i'm having a problem with my port engine, 1995 mercury 225 carb, on a 272 sailfish. The port motor has no power but the starboard has enough to get the boat up on plane. After it's on plane I can balance out the rpms and it runs along fine but i'm sure the starboard is still doing the most...

Does anyone know why my 94 sailfish has 27' foot stickers on it? My understanding is they were not labeled 27 until 1995. The stickers sure do look original with wear and fading and my title also has the boat as 27' What do I have to go by for length with docking etc. I would like to consider...

Thanks!!! How about the 23 gulfstream?

oops.........dimentions...... :sorry

I'm curious if anyone knows or has a web site for the floor demensions for fishing of a few pre seav2 hulls. to be more specific, the 22 seafarer,23 gulfstream, and 25 sailfish. Also, does a 25 sailfish have less deck space than a 25 trophy pro? If I recall the deck was about 6' long and 7'...

New to me grady with twin 89 black max 200's first trip out i lose starboard motor and am able to make it home on port running at about 2000 rpms. running port motor harder it seemed to be losing power also. I made it back loaded it on the trailer hauled it home gave it its bath and flushed the...

Dan, thank you, thank you, thank you, I received the card you sent me. It is exactly what I needed and works great.

I had this same problem this winter while doing my maintenance I removed the rubber and dangled it in front of my bullet heater for a few seconds this made the whole piece pliable very easy to reinstall and hasn't moved at all. If you only heat a small portion I think it may be more prone to pop...

From all of my research i believe everything you are saying. if nothing is no longer available does it mean this device goes in the trash? My area is Delaware bay and Delaware offshore. I havent even been able to figure out what garmin bluechart map this would be to search for it directly. Thanks

Just bought a boat with a Garmin 188c. It also came with a plug for in my house, mapsource bluechart cd version 4.01 a usb data programmer and mapsource data card. I've figured out using the unit but my problem is the chart is for an area just north of my boating area. I spent a few hours...

Is transom rot as common on boats with closed transoms and bracket?

Thanks for the insights. My budget is pretty much invest what I would get for the seafarer into the larger boat knowing that I will have to go back in the year of the boat. My fishing has been out of Delaware for the past 40 years. It used to be 95% Del bay but the fishing just don't seem to be...

Thinking of selling my current 228 and buying a 25' sailfish. My seafarer is a seav2 hull with the grady bracket 200 carbed yamaha. I'm looking at older non seav2 25' sailfishes with twins mounted on the transom. My thoughts are i'm moving up to twin engines wider beam little more deck space for...
