I have a 2003 Sailfish 282. My buddy has a 2005 Gulfstream 23. We build out own frames with strapping and buy large tarps at Ocean State Job Lot for $99. We get 2-3 seasons out of them, and then toss them away and buy another one. I own all the equipment and materials to do my own shrink...

I purchased a 2003 GW 282 with twin F225 and 800 hours. I had Catalano in CT do a compression test, computer download, and leak down test even though I had recent original records from the seller showing that the exhaust was done in the last few years. They installed new thermostats too while...

I was able to fit 2 10” Garnin displays in my 2003 282. I tried to fit 12s but you will have to cut fiberglass to get them in. The 10s look and work great.

I have factory air conditioning on my '03 282 and also factory inverter. My inverter and battery are in the box you are describing. Water should not be getting into that box I don't think. There is a drain area that runs from the forward bilge the the aft bilge.

I did the same thing with my fusion stereo. Great Company that sells scraps from larger jobs at a low cost. ProTech Composites https://shop.protechcomposites.com/carbon-fiber-scrap-package-1-lb/

I’m curious why you had to repower? How many hours did you have on the 225s?

It wasn't difficult... typo

It was difficult. Was I was unsure of is how they measured it. They come in 1/2" increments so i got the 17.5" and the 18". I only wanted to pull the sensor out once so i just got both sizes in case the measurements weren't exact.

I have a 2003 282 with 150 gallon main and 70 gallon aux tanks. I replaced the sending unit on my main with this i got on amazon. Very simple fix. This one is a 17.5" unit. I bought both this and the 18" units because it was tough to determine exactly what size the OEM part was. So when i...

I have a 282 with twin 225s and love it. My 2 buddies have the Gulfstream 23 and i have spent a bit of time on those boats as well. One of the Gulfstreams has twin 150s and the other has one 300. You will love the Gulfstream but make sure you get twin engines

Same numbers here - 2003 282 with twin 225s. But as soon as you want to increase speed the gas goes fast. But as you say it cruises comfortably at 28-30 mph

I have twin 2003 Yamaha 225s. I have had to replace both trim tilt motors and one relay switch. Reading through all the posts your problem is most likely the relay. If you can swap the blue and green wires (blue is up like the sky and green is down like the ground) and the problem now is...

Thanks. I appreciate the info!

Thank you. Great information here.
