    Autopilot for 305 Express?

    Thanks guys- Sounds like a Simrad it is! Looks like the AP 28 with the course correction knob is a better bet since I have plenty of space to mount it?

    Autopilot for 305 Express?

    Hi Guys- This is the first of probably many questions since this 305 is my first GW. The only thing missing (for now) is an autopilot.

    Opinion on 305 vs 330 Purchase?

    Opinion on 305 vs 330 Purchase?

    Hiya Grady Guys- I am finally going to get a GW boat. I have wanted one my whole life and the time has come. I am a little torn between a late model but used 305 Express or a 330 Express, they will likely both have twin Yamaha F250's. Price tag aside, I am trying to weigh the pros and cons...
