Hey guys, I'm looking at a 1991 Spirit 175. Looks to be in great shape. 140 Johnson 2-stroke, several upgrades, Garmin 93SV, etc. I had a 92 232 with twin 150 Johnsons and that boat ran great, should have kept it. Anyway, what can you tell me about the 175. Strangely, I can't seem to find...

Hey guys, The spec sheet of my 1992 232 says that she's 23'5" long, without the engines. So, my question is, does that mean that she's 23' 5" long to the outer edge of the stern, NOT including the Grady Drive and the twin Johnson'? I'm trying to get a sense of the TOTAL length from the tip of...

Hello, I'm looking to replace my old helm seats on my 92 Gulfstream with bolster seats. Anyone done this? What did you use? Thanks John

Hey guys, 92 232 with twin Johnson 150 2 strokes. Original engines, about 1,800 hours I'd guess. Last weekend, had 3 large guys and about 75 gallons of fuel on board and at 4,200 RPM's, those 2 strokes were running like a top. Pushed us along and a super smooth 34 to 36 MPH @ 4,200 RPM...

Hey guys, 1992 Gulfstream 232. As you know, there's one gauge on the dash and if you want to know how much fuel is in each, you flip a switch and it tells you. I think the main tank is reading correctly, but the front one is way off. Tank is full, but reading about 1/4. Found a loose...

Hello ladies and gents: I want to replace the light fixture and switches on the light attached to the bottom of the electronics box on my 92 Gulfstream. There are two push-button switches on it. One of them turns the dome light (white or red) on and off and the other operates my spreader...

Started my Johnson 150's yesterday in the back yard just to flush them out and let them run on the muffs a bit. Engine fired right up, and no water is coming from the top, only the bottom area. Waiting, waiting, then finally (on a fluke) pushed in a little plastic tip that is part of the...

Hey guys, Took my boat from my marina so I could store at home and now I have no bilge drain plug. They used to use one of theirs when they launched the boat. Anyone know what size I need for a 1992 Gulfstream 232? Not sure if they are a standard size, but I've seen several different sizes...

Hello all, 1992 Johnson twin 150's on a 1992 232 Gulfstream. About 1,400 hours on the motors. I noticed yesterday that one of the lower motor mounts has broken away from the two upper mounting bolts; I suspect just due to age and/or rust. I'm having a heck of a time finding these parts...

Hello all, hope you had a great weekend. Nearly done all the repairs (for now) on my 1992 232 Gulfstream. My boat mechanic says I need a new fuse panel and a new fresh water system pump. I've paid him way too much money already, so these seem easy enough for me to do. 1) Does anyone know...

Hey guys, since I'm replacing all the throttle/shifter cables on my rig, I am also going to get a new shifter. Boat has twin Johnson 150's with trim. Maybe dumb question, but I've never had to buy one of these before. Should I look for anything special? Any good/new technology or products I...

Hey guys, a few questions. I have a 1992 232. This model has 3 (I think) access hatches on the lower part of the inside stern area to access the batteries, etc. I need to replace some of those latches. Can anyone tell me if these can be bought, or if I need to come up with another solution...

Hey guys, My marine tech just took my 1992 Gulfstream 232 with 92 Johnson 150 2 strokes on a sea trial so he could adjust the throttle cables. The starboard throttle lever is about an inch forward of the port to keep similar RPM on both engines. He was unsuccessful because he said once he...

Hey guys, None of my boats have ever had radar. I've always assumed radar is only useful for seeing things at night. I suspect I'm wrong. I now have a 92 Gulfstream 232. I am having a 4000 series Garmin GPSMAP chart-plotter as well as the g2 chip for better detail, fish-eye view, mariner...

Well, as with everything surrounding "boating" we got a couple problems solved, only to find a couple others. 92 Gulfstream 232 with twin Johnson 150's. My last report mentioned losing the engines then switching fuel tanks and engines started again. Well, as it turns out, the guys using my...

Hello all, My first Grady. My 92 Gulfstream 232 has a decent livewell behind the passenger seat. I'm used to seeing some sort of stand-pipe, but this doesn't have one. Do I need one? If so, what size? I've never used a livewell before so I'd be interested in some tips. Do I just turn it...

Back-story: 1992 Gulfstream with twin 1992 Johnson 150's. About 1,400 hours on the motors. I got this boat right after Thanksgiving and have been having work done to it all this time. When I got the boat, the main fuel tank had about 1/2 tank of fuel. The age or origin of this fuel is...

Hello ladies and gents: A couple of buddies of mine borrowed my 1992 Gulfstream and they are fishing off Fort Lauderdale as I type this. On the dash is a switch that appears to control both the livewell and the washdown pump. They said that when the flip the switch to either the livewell or...

I've posted a few questions about my engine bracket restoration project. Many of you have given me some great advice, for which I thank you. I just got an estimate from my marina to do the job. $3,500 seems crazy. They are charging $2,650 to remove and re-install the twin 150's, remove the...

Hello, Not digging the "trim" that is all over my 1992 232 Gulfstream. The material is in fine shape, just the color is not so nice. Same with the white door to the cuddy. Anybody paint or stain these? Recommendations on what paint to use? I assume it's a simple as taping it off and...
