    Voyager 248 Speed Question / 300hp

    I have the same setup with a 250 Honda. WOT is 43mph depending on seas. You would probably hit 46 if I had to guess.

    Fuel issue

    Could be your fuel lines degrading from the inside out. Were they replaced with the tanks? Was there a switch from non ethanol to ethanol fuel? The ethanol will scour the tanks and lines and clog your filters.

    Cabins of the 226/228 vs. 232 vs. 248/258 vs. 268

    Any of those boats are “tight” for overnights. It can be done, but living space is cramped and the water lapping up against the hull will keep you awake at night. Just my opinion.

    305 Grady White Express, 2007 for sale

    Thanks. Not convinced it’s the same boat but I’ll see what I can find out. OP was pretty elusive about the details and the lingo used doesn’t match the age of the poster. Just an observation.

    rub rail

    Try wiping down with acetone. Will clean it up nicely. Be careful not to get the residue on the hull. Works well. Good luck.

    Scupper drain thru-hull replacement

    I did the hoses few years ago. I know they are 1-1/2” but not sure on the length.

    Scupper drain thru-hull replacement

    Looking to replace my floor drain thru hulls on my 96 248 Voyager. Looks like the seals have given up and are leaking into the bilge. Does anyone know the proper length as I see a couple different sizes listed. Boat is still in the water but would like to have the parts on hand before I haul...

    Sailfish repower with Honda 250’s? Experience and opinions wanted

    I run a single Honda 250 on my 96 Voyager- Quiet, sips fuel, plenty of power and easy to maintain. Look into Tohatsu as well, same motor with a different badge.
