Boat meter going down the steps into the cabin, right side. Not ever accurate but close enough

I looked at the 2000 272 sailfish yesterday and we passed. for $30,000 without a trailer and $35,000, did not entice me to buy. The boat was not taken care of and needed a lot of attention. The transom showed signs of swelling under the cap plate. Not good. I'll keep looking but will focus more...

What is the difference between these two different model boats? Someone said GW changed the windshield on the 282. What else. Is the 282 a better boat overall? I am looking at a 2000 272 sailfish today with the original ox225 motors, 700 hrs. I m not sure if I should just wait for a 282...

Can you tell us how much the motor cost you and how much did the dealer charge for the installations. I'd assume you had to change all rigging and gauges.. I have the 232 Gulfstream with the ox66 250hp on the back and would love to repower to a Suzuki. Just cant afford it..

Something wrong with the prop. Either the prop hub is slipping or the prop is totally wrong for that motor.. You should be doing 38 to 40 MPH at 5500 rpm, and cruise at 28 MPH at 4500 RPM. The motor should not be doing 6000 rpm neither. Sounds like shaft, prop hub issue going on with that lower...

I have the same boat as yours, 2001 Gulfstream with a single ox66250hp.I love the boat but wish I had the dual 150hp motors. The singles 250 will get you up and going to about 39MPH, and 28 cruising speed. I prefer the twins for a couple of reasons. 1) easier docking 2) piece of mind with...

Drain your tank as much as possible, Then winterize the motor. If you can get a hold of ethanol free gasoline, do so and run the fuel through your filters and VST, add star tron and you are set for the spring with no worries..

Re: RPM's dropping on starboard motor when trying to get on Definately sounds like fuel. Checking the VST filters is easy enough... Also put a fuel pressure gauge on your HP pump and check for pressure. I believe 37 pounds is where it should be at....I know you changed your LP pumps, check...

My boat has the pulpit.. What windless would work best for this boat and where is a good place to look to purchase one.

Re: 2000 232 Gulfstream live fishwell fills up with water wh Do you know where the seacock is located for that well..

I noticed my fishwell fills up with water when the boat is running. the water comes from the high pressure hose, not from the drain, just to clarify.. Is there a shutoff valve for that or a check valve to prevent this from happening or is this normal. I dont really have an issue with seawater...

Where can i find the correct plug for the fishwell and the other wells in the boat that have the same drain size opening. 7/8" inside dimension..

Thanks Parthery. I just recently installed a new garmin 7 series side view chirp Plotter. it it does have the feature for fuel burnt ratio built in. I'll have to look into this..

The prop that was on the boat when i got it was a Yamaha, 17-M..15x17?? It was beat up and had a one inch split on one blade.. The new size prop is a Quicksilver, SS,15.8x15.. I noticed a light improvement after i installed it. Not so much with an increase in RPM, like I was hoping for but...

I certainly will. Do you know what the gas burn rate per mile should be with this motor/boat combo? I feel like she is sipping a ton of fuel, But have nothing to compare it to. Can I install a gauge on this ox66 to see how much she burns per hour?????

I bought a brand new Quicksilver SS prop last week and installed it. size: 15.8x15.. I got a little more speed out of the prop but not much. The RPM stayed about the same or went up about 100 RPM. I feel this motor should be doing 5500 RPM at WOT. This is bugging the crap out of me. I feell...

Thanks seasick. I will definately try that. I know there is no water in the bilge to cause excess weight and i personally sanded the bottom down gell coat, primed, and gave the bottom one good coat of ablative paint. I'll keep you posted with the trim thing when I go back out on the boat this...

I am still figuring out what the proper trim should be for this boat/motor. So far I find the trim indicator at half way works best, #3 on the Yamaha indicator, but still only revving at 4900. The bottom of the boat was freshly sanded and painted so that is not the issue. I have NOT checked...

I have the 232 Gulfstream model with a single 250 HP ox66. What should the WOT be with this motor. I was told there is a normal range between 4600 and 5700 RPM. I installed a new SS prop, 15.8x15 .. I was told by 3 different prop shops this is the proper size prop to go with, so I took their...

Any suggestions to where I can find a used Hard top, for a 2000, 232? I dont want to spend the big bucks to have one made, and figured with so many 232 boats out there I should be able to find a used one to purchase.. But where to look?
