Well, I think I'm going to try to sell the boat "as is" disclosing the problem and see if I get any interest at a reduced price. If that doesn't work then I guess I'll fix it and put it on the market repaired. Thanks for your thoughts on this.

Great info. I am putting myself in the position of the buyer and I kind of agree with the majority opinions. I would want my own shop to do the repair to make sure it is right and there were no shortcuts taken just to sell the boat. On the other hand, a boat that is in good condition with...

I ordered a manual for my 2005 F250's from repairmanual.com several weeks ago. I have not received it yet because they said the manual is on back order from Yamaha. The cost is $79.95 with a shipping cost of $5.60. Fortunately I have time so I can wait on it. I'll try and remember to report back...

Hello everyone, I need your opinions on selling my boat. I have a 1993 230 Gulfstream w/twin 2003 175 Evinrude DFI motors. The 230 has the notched outboard transom not the bracket type transom. I am selling the boat as I bought a 2006 Sailfish. The Gulfstream has a wet transom and I have one...

Thanks anyway. I already ordered the cover that was supposed to fit from your website but it didn't. I had to bring it back. Fortunately I was driving near your location and could drop it off myself. It doesn't look like anyone has a pattern for this boat and I have made a reservation to have a...

I just wish ya'll made a cover for the Sailfish 282.

fellinger, If you want send me your email address and I will send you the photos of the rod holder. bodunn96@gmail.com This is probably the easiest way for me to get the photos to you right now. Bo

Thanks for the reply. I am kind of old tech also with a Garmin 5212. I think I'll get a better definition picture with the 24 vs. the 18.

By the way, the Gulfstream will be for sale shortly if ya'll know anyone interested. It is a 1993 230 Gulfstream not 232 with twin 2003 175 DFI Evinrudes and sits on a 2009 Loadmaster trailer. I'll post it on the forum when it's ready to go.

No picture but I can take one when I go back to the boat which is about a 38 mile drive so it may be a few days before I can take a picture. Next challenge is remembering how to post photos. I took a leave of absence from the forum for a few years so I'll have to figure out how to post photos again.

Harpoon, I love it so far. My wife and I took a trip to the Abacos last summer with the Gulfstream and it was a little rough in a few spots, not bad just a little uncomfortable. I think that same trip in the Sailfish will be much more enjoyable. I can't wait to do it again, it's awesome over...

Fellinger, By the way, I put that rod holder back on the boat that I removed. I have used it for rods and it does not get in the way like I thought it would. I am going to keep it. I also may use it to support a shade over the cockpit.

Thanks guys, I think I solved the problem. As I said I am a new owner of this boat and mistakenly assumed the windows were sliding windows like my old Gulfstream. If ya'll are familiar with this boat you know that the windows swing inward instead of sliding. I tightened the latches and made sure...

Both great ideas, I'll try them. Thanks for the input I'll report back once I've tried them.

Anyone have this issue? There is a shelf in the head on my 2006 Sailfish that collects water every time it rains. Anyone know where it is coming from? Window maybe? There may be some water coming in on the other side of the cabin by the microwave also but I can't be sure just yet as I am a...
