Thanks, that's a great idea. Sei in Sardegna adesso?

GW customer service was helpful and sent me a link to all their prior website photos, which they had archived.

Thanks, but I think the swivel chairs with footrests and flip-up bolsters are standard for the captain and mate.

Let's suppose an oldster no longer has the best back and will want to lean against the bolster most of the time underway, relying on knees for shock absorbers. But the knees, while better than the back, aren't what they used to be either. This is more of a sports support type question rather...

Still waiting for delivery in mid-July. I previously saved the spec sheet and options from the GW website, but I waited too long to download images. Went on line this evening to save some images, but the Gulfstream already has been removed from the list of walkaround cabin models. Suppose...

The Seafarer is a great boat. I like it much better than the Adventure. I would be very happy in or near Langley. My wife tends to prefer less rural living. (Not quite "Green Acres," but leaning that way.) Our Venn diagram sets intersected on Bainbridge Island, and that's where we're going...

The results are in, and directly from Grady-White, the Gulfstream 232 does indeed meet the "five net tons" condition for Coast Guard title documentation. From the manufacturer, the specific dimensions of that model used by the Coast Guard are 23.29' L x 9.06' B x 4.47' D. Per 46 Code of...

Yes, Jacobsen's. Been a pleasure working with them.

You expressed the very reasons I wanted the Gulfstream for my retirement move to the PNW. Couldn't afford the larger Marlin or Express, so the Gulfstream hit the sweet spot for me.

It was his best seller at his dealership. In Seattle. Pacific Northwest. Not balmy southern weather, but they don't have to pull their boats for the winter either.

Thanks, I'll get clarification, likely from the dealer first, who recommended this bank as having experience with boat financing generally and Grady-Whites in particular. Hopefully I'm not the first having to deal with this issue for the Gulfstream, which the dealer says has been his...

Here's the Coast Guard form for simplified measurement. I'm doubtful that a 9'3" beam is enough width to be able to qualify using this form. Still wondering if a Gulfstream or other similar boat on the smaller side has managed to qualify. I sent an e-mail to Grady-White to inquire.

Thanks. I could get to Victoria, BC in a few hours of cruising.

The lender offers a better interest rate for federal documentation. Extra security in identifying title for their lien over state registration. Yes, all recreational.
