    Looking for a Fisherman 230

    Still looking. I did find one and a family member went and looked at it for me. Unfortunately the boat needed a lot of work and for what they were asking for the boat, It wasn't worth it. So I'm still in the hunt.

    WTB Grady 232 Gulfstream w/ twins

    In one way I agree... However, if a person spent their life saving for their "wants" and accomplished their overall goals, I feel they deserve their "wants". Otherwise what that person has accomplished for themselves is not going to mean anything if they can't enjoy their life. Also, I don't...

    Cruising speed

    Sorry, maybe I didn't write my question correctly... Fuel burn is my big concern.( Espsecialy with fuel prices now.) If I can have a 25 footer burn the same as a 23 footer running at 4500 RPM and having a speed at 35 that would be real nice. As mentioned in my original post, my 23 footer ran at...

    Cruising speed

    I'm interested in your thoughts... I'm thinking about looking at a 2012 CC Advanced model. It has a 300hp Yamaha. The seller is saying it cruises at 35 mph @4500 rpm. I'd like to trust him however, I had a '93 Gulfstream with 2006 Yamaha twin 150's and it's cruising speed was 27mph running at...

    I just want to Thank all you guys!

    I will be trying to get back into the family too. I had a few GW's so far (a Sailfish, Gulfstream and a Canyon 271), but I wound up selling the latest one I had because of medical issues that came up and didn't know what is still happening to me. Once my life is back to so called normal, I'm...

    Hardtop storage bag replacement

    Just another suggestion... I had several boats with canvas storage space for under the T Tops for storing life jackets, but unfortunately I had issues with mold inside the canvas storage space and on the life jackets. So I came up with the idea of using a net type storage concept that always...

    232 Gulfstream

    I had a '93 Gulfstream w/twin 2006 4 stroke 150 HP Yammies for over 6 years and made a desision to go bigger thinking I would enjoy a larger boat. The only issue I had with my Gulfsteam was that I had to have the transom repaced b/c of how those boats were manufactured in that age bracket. But...

    FREE Gulfstream Cockpit Trim

    Hi, I replaced the brown cockpit/helm trim when I refurbished my 1993 Gulfstream several years ago. So instead of throwing it out, I'm willing to give it to anyone who needs it. I probably have over 90% of all the trim. I'm located at the Jersey Shore. So just text me at 908 910 4899. Thanks, Mark

    Wanted grady white center console in need of repower

    Unfortunately I've been having a lot of trouble tring to get people to respond back to me too. I find it very odd that people advertise something and not respond back. As others have commented in the past, probably a lot of scams going on.

    Looking for a Fisherman 230

    Hi everyone, It's been a while since I've been on this great website due to some personal issues. I had three Grady's so far and unfortunatley I had to sell the latest one I had (my Canyon) that I purchased just a year ago. Prior to the Canyon I had a Gulfstream for several years and before that...

    Electronics Installer

    I agree with earlier in the year. I usually have my boat splashed by the end of March, but as mentioned I just purchased it the end of February and after of talking to friends in the marine business and researching the correct way of painting the boat, that's when I started looking for...

    Electronics Installer

    I agree with price being crazy. However this whole venture started back in February when I purchased the boat. And yes, I agree with the other member, I'm thinking about waiting, but still need a painter. I would do it myself, but I have a personal issue too and can't perform that type of work...

    Electronics Installer

    Thank you for your response. That was a thought I had too about waiting until after the season was over. The only other issue I have is that the boat was lift kept until I purchased it and never bottom painted. So I searched for painters for the last few months and finally found one...
