Looking for guidance on replacement sources of rub rail and spcific dimensions of the original rubrail on the 300 Marlin, year 2000. I have contacted Grady and they only have the new specs and part #'s not for 2000. If you have any information or can point me in the right direction I'd...

Thank you, I finally found some great info here just had to play with the search terms a bit more. Appreciate the responses.

Can you send me link to it? Found several threads on 300 Marlin vs 330 Express only so far.

Hey there. Currently have a 265 Express and looking at a 300 Marlin or 305 Express. Have a 2 year old now and married so looking for the aft cab and cabin space. Fish quite often 12 months a year and then day trips and destination trips in the summers. What's your take on the two models for...

Hey there. Currently have a 265 Express and looking at a 300 Marlin or 305 Express. Have a 2 year old now and married so looking for the aft cab and cabin space. Fish regularely and then day trips and destination trips. What's your take on the 305?

Thank you for the offer and response, I am in Canada so probably not the easiest to send around. The images are helpful though to understand the system better.

Original Raymarine L760 plus, photo attached. Wondering if I put in a new sonar and transducer if the radar would still work or if they are interconnected and I need redo both systems.

My original 2003 fish finder is acting funky and I have an Airmar P79 transducer. I was hoping to find a compatible display unit to verify if the problem is the display or the transducer and am having trouble finding compatible options (a direct replacement display unit is $700:oops:). The...

Thank you all, yes she's a new boat to me and trying to avoid new electronics for a bit anyways. Thought if I could get the screen to work with the same or similar display model then I could get by for a bit. Still trying to figure out what transducer I have, it is a thru-hull. Cheers.

I have the original Raymarine L760 installed and it has gone buggy on me. While trolling at 2-3 knots it goes in and out sometimes works other times just flashes an incorrect depth for five minutes then sometimes resets itself. Only works on manual range setting. Does anyone know if that sounds...

Thank you all, I ended up purchasing a 265 Express with twin Yamaha 225HP, cruising at 26 knots (30MPH) and 4000 rpm and gauge shows consumption at 16.5 gallons per hour with both fuel tanks full. Quite pleased with the performance.

I mistyped, I meant to say 25knts/30 miles. My concern is running the 200hp's at higher than optimal rpm for standard cruising speed thus maybe a shorter life span. Cheers.

Great info here, can you clarify what RPM you are running at when cruising at 25mph?

The 200hp are $8k more than the 225hp. Thank you for your reply.

Hi all. Looking to purchase a 265 Express and see most have 200HP Yamaha with either I-4 or V6 and some 225HP. Does anyone have experience with the 200HP I-4 (inline 4)? Wondering if it would be quite underpowered? What’s normal cruising speed and rpm with the 200’s? Would you recommend holding...
