I would not remove the pulpit as you will likely need some fiberglass work. Why remove it when others have found solutions to mount the trolling motors on the Grady's? Just asking as not sure why your mounting solution can't work like some of the one's I have seen on this site which were done...

Yeah, we could go back and forth all day....lol. :) I want a diesel also. Would love to have one, but they are not always practical for everyone. Diesels are made to run longer distance and pull loads to survive. Not mom and pop engine to run to store and not fully warm up. They cost about $11k...

More quarts of oil and frequent fuel filter changes as well as DEF fluid, etc. They cost more than gas.

I personally would hesitate to use a 1/2 ton truck to pull that boat. Even though they have those high tow ratings, most of them have turbo's and they will do the job, but it is very stressful on the engine and brakes to handle that much weight. Like others have said, what is your tow like? Flat...

Thanks for the pic.

I found some options on Amazon for a Li Time battery and charger combo that would be a 36v 100ah battery for a reasonable price. I found some other youtube videos where they did a full test on them and they use grade A batteries according to the testing. Probably would start off with 1 battery...

Thanks for the links, looks good. I assume those are 1" rails on the Grady's.

For the HPDI's the 200's are awesome in how they start/run and do very well on fuel. However, there is a lot of reading in how to keep them going without causing downstream issues. For me, what I have learned: 1. I run 2 micron fuel filters that are Racor S3220SUL. These must be changed every...

Hard to tell in the pics, but does the prop on the TM get in the way of an anchor or pulpit? Also, any info about source and parts used to fix the rail would be appreciated!

My experiences over time with the same issue: 1. Rub rail not sealed allowing spray to run into the liner and down to the bilge. Had to pull rub rail out and reseal and run another bead of clear silicone on the bottom edge once screwed back in. 2. Rain into the anchor locker in the hole where...

The older 200hp Yamaha Carbureted motors weigh about 400lbs. The OX66 250's about 525lbs according to Google. Can that hull handle the total HP? My 25 is only rated to 400hp max. Thus twin 200's is the configuration I have and it is very quick to plane and hits 49mph top end. To repower, the...

I think in my case with the 252G, it rides exceptionally well with normal hydraulic tabs. I start my trip heading for the inlet and set the tabs and might have to adjust once out the inlet depending on the direction of the seas, ect. They pretty much go untouched for the next 50 or so miles...

Seems that Pennzoil no longer makes the full synthetic as I could not find any reference to it anywhere. I used to use their semi synthetic as well.

Ok, I went back to Project Farm and also some other references. I feel like I have been reschooled. Pretty sure I have watched these videos before, but didn't catch on about the corrosion protection differences between different additives. The only one he tested that did absolutely no corrosion...

Hi Dennis, yeah, I had mentioned I was switching over to the Techron Marine, but it is still sitting on the shelf since I have not run out of the Startron and Ring Free+ yet. Maybe I will switch over during upcoming season just to see if it helps or not. The hesitation there would be the...
