    Places To Stay - Martha's Vineyard

    Hey all, We're planning a trip to Edgartown in about two weeks and are currently trying to find a decent hotel with dockage available. The Harbor View Inn has no vacancy when we're planning on going so I think the next best bet is the Harborside Inn. Wondering if anyone knows of any other...

    232 with single?

    We upgraded this year from a 2000 w/250 OX66 2 stroke to an '05 w/twin 150s. BIG difference, mainly at the dock like others have said. I definitely think having twins is worth it in every situation - getting on plane, docking, top end, etc. That boat with a single just does not want to back...

    Underwater Light Placement

    Anyone who's wondering....we put them just above the trim tabs, under the scuppers - couldn't be happier. Anyone looking for the right underwater light, look no further than OceanLED (no affiliation). Absolutely worth the extra money in my opinion. Two A6s are brighter than I imagined - light...

    Underwater Light Placement

    Just ordered a pair of OceanLED A6s for our '05 Gulfstream. Now the question is, where to put them? The bracket makes it a little tricky. Anyone have them on a gulfstream or a bracketed model? Anyone else have any ideas on the best spots? Thanks in advance. Any comments on the A6s in...

    Decorah Eagle Live Webcam

    I apologize this isn't boating related and if some of you have seen it before but I came across it on thehulltruth.com and thought most guys/gals who like fishing/boating would appreciate it, so I figured I'd post the link. I've become semi-addicted to it - apparently two chicks just hatched...

    Repower 2007 Gulfstream Yamaha 300 vs 350

    Last year we test drove a new '09 with an F350 on it and didn't notice any problem w/the scuppers or the weight of the engine. Maybe the newer models have a bracket/transom designed to carry the 800+ lbs. Engine performed great, really got her up on plane effortlessly and top speed was over 50...

    Express 265 Trim Issues

    I wish Grady still made this model! Would love to see the improvements they would have made over the last 5 years (if any)

    300 Marlin Dash & seat covers.

    Beautiful boat and the covers look great. If you don't mind my asking, where did you get that Grady White mat?? They don't seem to have them on the GW website.....Thanks in advance

    Moving from Gulfstream to Marlin - any advice?

    Crazy is right.....I can't wait for a full test on a pair of these on a 30' Grady. Sure hope they're as good as they're supposed to be.

    Moving from Gulfstream to Marlin - any advice?

    We were wondering this exact thing.....Any input would be appreciated here too.

    Lobstering

    We use a rubber mat hanging over the side attached to the cleat. Sure it's messy but these boats are made to be cleaned easy. Keeping the baby crabs out of the drains is the most difficult part :lol: If the fish aren't biting or it's too windy to go offshore, it gives you an excuse to still...

    twin bracket for 2003 gulfstream

    We were thinking of doing this to our 2000. Keep in mind the labor costs are a bit high because they have to cut the deck of the boat and cut the gas tank to make a second pick-up for the 2nd engine. The cost difference between buying newer and repowering led us to buying a newer grady.

    Yamaha OX66 150 maximum RPM - HELP!

    Trimming up could increase RPM but not by so much that it would eliminate concern.....I'll bet the compressions are low. Be very cautious...
