Worked like a charm. Thanks.

Thanks to all for this helpful information. Comments: - cutting the tank instead may have been a viable option before I ordered the replacement per OEM drawings. Maybe a quick call Monday to the fabricator will reveal this option as being available. - neoprene stuck directly to the tank makes...

Re-coring deck over main gas tank and decided to change out the 27 year old tank despite the absence of a leak. Pulled the deck and notice right away that the cross-bracing 2x4's had about 1/2 - 3/4" clearance from the top of the tank. Thought that to be unusual since a tank I did on a...

Change pump to dual outlet pump and add a second pump for the wash down. Make your connections accordingly. No need to make a second hole in bottom of boat. Good luck.

I mounted mine all the way up (200HO Etec). Tops out at 41mph using 17pitch prop. Don't think you are going to gain much if anything.

What year is the hull?

You should be able to buy 2 7" HDS units within you budget is you search. I Just sold for $300 a 'minty' 7" HDS unit with all wires but no ducer. So if you look around you can have bigger and be within budget.

Going used all the time helps the pocketbook..! Don't ever see myself buying new for that exact reason.

Bigger is bigger.. displacement is displacement.. I find that more and more I am picking my days when to go out. But if it is a borderline day, I will make every effort to be on the water but will take it slower and hopefully in a bigger rig.. Back 10yr or so, I jumped from a 228 to a 232 and...

Yep I agree 100%. So if may reframe my question to read ' which Grady walk-around SV2 hull between 24' to 29' has the best rough water ride??' Been boating on the 228 and 232 Gradys for 20yrs. My bones are asking me for additional relief these days.

Looking to upgrade existing 232 SV2 hull to one that may ride smoother and handle different sea states better. Would like to stay below 29'. Which Grady says you..?? Thank for your input.

Glad you are going the repower route. New is new and having the engines come alive every time after turning the keys both going and especially coming back from offshore has no price tag. You are investing in both your enjoyment and your safety. Congratulations..!

Repower-----only option..! Why did you get out of the World Cat to go into the Grady Cat??

On/Off is made of 3 different types of acid all three may have reactive effects with metal yielding caustic vapors or compounds that are not rubber friendly. Those lines owe you nothing. Change is a good thing.. :) Also most tank failures develop in the bottom of the tank and given that the...

Looks pretty to me..! New core is a new core and that is what counts.
