Call Fenwick tackle and ask for Larry I have been there when the wife of a commerical fisherman has unloded them by the barrel. I know Fenwick is not on rt13, its on rt1 just over the del. state line. Maybe this might help

Neihbors Yamaha 93- 150hp V6 precision blend motor has a oil resivour (under the motor hood) over flowing problem when running. It will fill completely and push excess oil to the pump thus on into the cylinders. LOTS of smoke and mess under the cowling :( :?:

Did Grady make the SV2 hull in 1992 for the 255 Sailfish? :?:

I am going to look at a 92 GW 255 Sailfish What should I be looking for as far as structural/ fibreglass? Does this hull/model have any bad traits or hidden problems that I should look for? Not really concerned about the equipment as most will be replaced. Yes I know it should be surveyed...
