Repowered a 2001 with 200 Zuki’s. Did transom cap, removed oil tanks, left fill’s in place, didn’t want to spend on fiberglass. Zuki’s were almost 10k cheaper than Yamahas in my neck of the woods. Got mechanicals, but kinda wish I would have gone FBW. Still playing with props, trying LF3’s next...

Call Lee at AJ Canvas in NC. They are the OEM canvas supplier for GW. She has most model’s dimensions, and if she doesn’t you can send her your old set. All you have to do is put the snaps on yourself, which is not a big deal

I had a Bob’s hydraulic jack plate on an old 25 SeaVee. 14 years without any issues. I would call them for their recommendations. And yes, game changer, for sure.

I’m seriously thinking about adding Sea Keeper Ride to my 265 this Winter. Price is getting more reasonable and everyone that has them loves them. They now have a low cost option to fill in the recessed tab issue. Might be worth a look.

I have one new one, 2 big Yamaha remote thanks with 2 year old pumps and new filters if you’re interested. I am in VA

Another vote for A&J Canvas. Sent my old enclosure to them and they used it for a template. Had one panel that was a little off and they took it back, fixed it , and sent it back at no charge. Way cheaper than any of my local shops. 2 week turnaround. They do all the OEM canvas work for GW.

How do you like your new helm chair? Thinking about replacing my original one as well.

What model windlass?

Where in ENC are you?

Had some beers and Bluefin with my mechanic the other day and I asked him about this technology. They are a dealer and have installed a few with great feedback. Anyone on here have real world experience running one of these systems. Not the gyro system, the interceptor blade types. Thinking they...

Seems like too much weight back there. Probably designed for 2x 200 2 stokes at less than 500lb each vs 2x225 Hondas at 630 each. Check the thermostat in the block for corrosion and the mid shaft bearings.

So, I was at a tournament party a few days ago. My neighbor is looking for a tank fabricator for 2 saddle tanks for his 25 SeaVee inboard. I asked a well known Carolina custom builder who he might suggest. He said he’s switched to Mueller plastic tanks on all his builds and refits. He builds...

Where are you in NC?

I just sent my old ones to Lynn at A&J Canvas in NC. She’s making me new ones at a good price and supposedly a 2 week turnaround. I will report back once I get them/install them. Wanted white but wife wanted blue.

Skunk- as usual Thanks for the spot on 265 info. I would love a solid front that I could pin the center back. Where did you mount the pins to pin it to? Actually, I’d like to be able to pin my sides and back as well, wouldn’t they interfere with the life jacket storage? Any pics of them pinned...
