    232 transducer issue

    I have very good reception on mine. I have twin 150 4 stroke yamahas and the transducer is in the middle of them. It is also mounted a little below the hull. The transducer is a Garmin.

    whats it worth???

    Run! By the time you repair everything you will have built the boat. As someone once said, "Even a free boat can cost too much". Not too old Gradys are not that expensive. Check out some used ones. Just my two cents

    New Gulfstream 232

    Grats on the new boat! She is great. I agree with the trailer. I have a 10K all alum. trailer with 4 stainless steel brakes and it creaks when it takes the load of the boat. grant it I only use the trailer twice a year.

    repower gulfstream

    Wow, 39K?! I repowered my Gulfstream at the beginning of this year. I got controls, gauges, rigging, and Yamaha twin F150 outboards with props for 14K out the door. The engines were a year old and had 100 hours on them but were still 'like new'. These were not craigslist specials, they were from...

    1998 Gulfstream

    Great boat. I would check all the usual stuff, soft spots etc. I would focus my attention to the engines. Have them checked out my a Yamaha guy. As far as the F115s I think they will go slow and will need higher RPMs to keep you on plane even with the 4 blades. You will have to play with the...

    I use a bunk trailer for hurricane and maintenance haul outs so I do not know off the top of my head.

I often go out in 2-3 foot seas and the boat will cruise at 25 mphs and I dont spill my beer. :) Be safe. Carry...
