Has anyone gone to Poly tanks when replacing? Thinking about going 2x 100 gallon poly tanks on my 265. Don’t need 250 gallon capacity it came with. Might be easier to install.

I understand where you’re coming from. Spent all my life running 20-28 ish CC’s, with the last 15 running an old school 25 SeaVee. I got your little sister, 265 Express. Took some time to figure it out. Actually thought I made a mistake. The first couple times I ran it. I thought it rode like...

I had my auxiliary tank polished when I bought my Grady White as the prior owner never used it. It’s pretty impressive how they can clean it up.

You can always call Linda down there and ask. Mine were in the boxes for 2-3 weeks before I could install them. Had no issues. They did a great job on my 265.

My scuppers are fine with 200 Zuki’s on a 2001. Put SKR while you’re at it!

Do you still have your old ones? I hit mine with a heat gun, sanded them, and painted them. Looks great.

Wow. Crazy prices out there. 200 Zuki’s were 38k out the door here. That tank estimate sounds high, but I agree you don’t need 250 gallons with the modern 4 strokes. Go ahead and put SeaKeeper Ride on her while you are at it.

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?
