I know it's a big 23 footer but isn't that a lot of hp? twin 200 is max for a sailfish... I'll be the first to say/admit that I know nothing but I would think that twin 150's would be fine. In my marina there's a guy that has a single 250 on his GS and he has no complaints. that's just my...

I was going to but I don't want to smear anyone's name or business on the net. I'll just chalk that one up to everyone is entitled to their own stupidity, ah I mean opinion.

I thought it was nonsense, but I had to ask.

I don't think Grady really has anything to worry about. Boating and/or boats in general are luxury items. Anyone who can walk into a Grady dealer and take a 305 is not really worried about the cost to run. IMHO.

I had spoken with a guy yesterday regarding boat hauling. He starts to ask me questions about the type of boat I need hauled and I tell him either a 93 sailfish or or 95 islander. He says They are sh!t. Don't buy em'! I said you realize I'm talking about Grady whites here, right? He says...

Funny that you replied ocnslr. I was just looking through the gallery for islander pics and I noticed you have one with a single 250 and I was just going to send you a pm. I don't know what model the engines are on the sailfish. After speaking with the owner he says that they have been...

Im not really concerned with what it takes to tow the boat beacuse I would keep it at the marina. I am however, concerned with the cost to run it. Having 400hp is nice but I gotta believe they are pretty thirsty. Then again one 250 is going to work pretty hard to push the islander. Right?

In my continued search I found a 93 sailfish with twin 200 yamahas that is really nice. I think I'll nix the gulfstream all though I like it the best b/c you get ALOT of boat for 23ft, however it doesn't have a seperate head and I'm usually with mixed company and that becomes an issue. So; Now...

I would LOVE to get the 265 express. The center helm design is awesome, but thats about 25-30k more then what I'm willing to spend. Ideally I don't want to spend more then 25-30k. And I'm looking to get the most boat for my money. Which boat is going to give the better ride, (I would imaging...

OK, how about this then, Powerplants aside, Which hull would you guys prefer?

I thought 250 might be a little small for the islander, but too small for the gulfstream?

Hi everyone. I'm new to the site and from staten island ny. I picked up my first boat about 2 years ago which is an 88 seafarer. I love the boat and would not want anything other than a grady going forward. That being said I'm looking to upgrade to something bigger and I'm looking for your...
