Thanks guys for the ideas to check.I will get right on it and see what happens. :D

I have a new 2008 232 Gulfstream.Just got it home,dealer is a long way from home.The horn does not work.I can't seem to find a fuse for it.I took the horn off today and sent it back for warranty,to get a new one.Just wondering what else I should check to make sure it is the horn and not the...

Good job...nice boat!! I just did the same thing.Bought a brand new 2008 Gulfstream 232.Never been in the water and has full warranty..etc.2 years old,and got a great deal on it.

Hello, Well I changed boats.Last year I had my 06 226Seafarer and felt I needed something alittle bigger.So I bought a new 08 232 with twins.Love the boat,even knowing I have not put it in the water yet.But been on a 232 in the past. Sorry to say,but I took advantage of the poor economy and...

Hi Guys, Just got home a few days ago with my new 08 232.The boat came from the south and is now in northern BC Canada.We are having a bit of a cold spell. Freezing at night and warming up alittle during the day(but not much) This is to last about a week in total.Then we will be above freezing...

I just bought a 232.Had it serveyed.The twin motors trim out of the water when you turn the power off.Never seen this before.Is this something new?My boat is a 2008.

DOC, Thanks for your thought on the kicker.You are so right about the wear & tare on the main power.I will go with the kicker,as it will save my main engines and reduce the hrs big time.You are so right about the speeds for trolling for salmon. I was not sure if I could get the 150's to go...

Well thanks guys for all your inputs on trolling.I am on the northwest coast in BC Canada.I can troll for hours each day(about 70-80 days) having a kicker would be good to cut the hours down on my motors. So if I troll for,lets say 8 hrs a day.For 80 days,thats 640 hrs.Divide it by 2 and...

Oh...I am not using both to troll.The boat is an 08 brand new.Not even in the water yet.Just wondering if I should troll with 1 engine or install a kicker for all my trolling. Most likely the way to go is have a kicker on the boat :D

Hi Guys, I have twin 150's on my 232.I fish about 70 days during the summer.I am thinking about putting a kicker on my boat for trolling to cut down the hours on my main power.But I was wondering how the 150's would do to troll? I heard that they troll so low that they run only on 2 cylinders...

Hello, I just sold my 226.It was a 2006 and a great boat.I fish on the north west coast in BC Canada.We have some of the nasties waters to fish in when the weather is bad. My 226 was great,never had any issues and the boat performed awesome in the sloppy water.The 226 or the 228 will be a...

Hey Guys, I am with Pete1313 on this one.I love Raymarine stuff.VERY user friendly.I am putting 2 C90W units on my 232 I just bought.It's nice to split screens,but I sometimes always wished I had full screen views of radar/plotter...etc. So I am going with 2 units this time.I just hope they...

Wahoo I sure will once I get the boat.I hope to have it by mid march or a little later in march....can't wait!! :D :D :D

Man,it was hard to decide.The 258 is a great boat.But the 232 just had a few more things I liked better. My 232 is an 08 with twin 150's and it's brand new.You guy are all right!! This boat will be awesome,and I am SSSOOOO excited to get on the water with it. You know,if the 258 had...

Well BOYS, At the last minute I changed my mined and I did go with the 232 Gulfstream.I did kinda post on here a bit to soon that I went with the 258.But this morning I just got that feeling that the 232 was the boat for me. Ever get that itch where you have a feeling about something?? So...
