Very nice you and the member SeaVee did an awesome job they look great thanks for the help

thank you for the info maybe two 10 inch would be easier and I can put the extra money I save towards auto pilot. I will look into NewWire Marine and get price

I'm looking to replace my electronics this fall with two Garmin 8612xvs units. Does anyone make a pre fab piece of starboard or similar material to fit over the opening in my helm? I really don't want to fabricate this from scratch I'm not good with routers or designing things thanks in advance

that is the same ladder I have on my 2005 265 exp works good

I have the same dilemma I have to upgrades I am thinking of going with the 8612 xsv and using my old 4208 for the radar that is still working.I will most likely go with a 2k through hull transducer because most of my fishing is in the deep.I still have a lot of research to do before I commit

I purchsed a 2005 265 express a couple years ago did lots of work on the engines and took her fishing for the first time this year. I had the same problem boat sudenly listed hard to port and it felt like we were going over. She is very touchy when it comes to trimming her out and I can only...

Thank you and yes the reason I wanted to get the proper tools was to alleviate some of the learning curve I will be going through by making the job a little easier. I will look into SEI

I will be pulling both tanks to inspect and replace all the fuel lines and while I have the deck fuel lid up I need to recore it because it is definitely wet.I also have to fix a lot of gelcoat stress cracks a few below the waterline that the bottom paint conveniently covered up when I was...

This is a picture of the starboard side motor corrosion, mid section needed all new internal components.The engine started up and sounded great so I thought I might get lucky. oh well 5,300 dollars later and I will have a new Yamaha short block power head to put on top of the new mid section :bang

Thank you for the help I will give it a try

I think I overpaid considering its condition and as soon as I learn how to post pictures I will send updates.On a positive note I will know what I have when I am done with her.

I purchased her with the northeast canyons in mind I hope she serves me well.My first order of business is to put two new factory direct Yamaha short blocks on her,the ones she came with had a sever case of midsection corrosion that made its way to the power head.The replacement parts for...
