    Fuel usage numbers, 282.

    2006 282 with 2016 F250's clean bottom 1.9mpg at 3400 24-26 mph. Dirty bottom it drops to 1.4mpg. Original engines were 3.3 F250's and did slightly less.

    WTB Grady White 282 Sailfish

    At least he was honest about the issues...that explains both the price drops and time on market.

    A & J Canvas in Vanceboro, NC is the place to go for your curtains. For the cabin door, I would call GW customer service. Bolsters could be gotten from local to you canvas shop.

    I believe it provides a flat surface for a fairing block mounted transducer to be mounted.

    282 Sailfish Thru-Hull Transducer Help

    It is outboard of the pickups, location favors the outer stringer. In clean water, I have no issues; however, following in the wake of another boat I occasionally lose bottom.

    282 Sailfish Thru-Hull Transducer Help

    I have a B164 mounted in my 282. It is a 20 degree and located between the stringers on the port side. If I remember correctly, it is about in line with the aft portion of the battery tray if you were to draw a line from port to starboard.
