New or to be repowered Islanders and the others on same hull will now get the twin treatment of the new F200 4 cylinder Yamahas, seems to me. Not likely to see the 6 cylinder V6s, but perhaps as a single - the F300 V6. Same goes for the 20 foot models and Gulfstream, never see an F150 again on...

Pool noodles work good too, they come in two diameters and festive colors ! Cut in pieces and wedge in there.

Marty, what is the condition of your Sailfish ?

I was going to write the same thing, cut pieces of scrap plywood and wedge them in there between pads with some nylon wire tys wrapped around the whole thing to keep wood in place.

Grind out the rest of the wood, be careful with grinder not to go right through what's left in glass. You can add glass as well as silica thickened resin with a notched trowel. 1/8 inch, after wetting glass with unthickened resin. The gaps around the edges and corners will be filled with the...

Brian, nice work !

By the way, what is the new Yamaha F200s? Isn't the new larger block V6s begin at 225 hp? I may have to get back to the NY boat shows, loosing track of these things. Another member posted the old F200s are still offered, not what factory reps said two years ago. Looks like if I go to show...

Find out what towing restrictions apply in your area, once width exceed 8ft 6 inches, as it does. So at least you will know. The reason Grady offered the largest 8ft 6 in beam walkaround made at one time, IMHO, is to trailer it, even showed it on a trailer in old litertaure. Yet side by...

What, no one has LED flood lights? What's Grady doing and what do you guys use, still using the 55 watt Hobbs? I' m not happy with my LED floods as both had to be replaced, very little use and sections of the array panel had died.

Question, what do you mean by clearing the bow? If memory serves me well this morning, I recall the aperature is 24 deg, 12 deg down and 12 deg up off the horizontal plane, in all diections. And does your model Grady have the flat hardtop, or hump in it?

The sunbrella (sp?) last forever I can say it seems indestrucbale but can be melted so watch cigarettes. As far as windows do, if you never open the ones on the side don't bother, as to the front it's up to you same. Time we spend at the dock hanging on hot days I open up the front window, but...

I would have to agree with the last post. First things first. From what I'm reading on the dock length and sticking out two feet more I don't know what it means specific to model of boats. The max beam width tell me you can go longer but depending the pass by in front of the boats that's what...

You are going to wear the rode out at the gypsy holding the boat with it - but many do. If you want to tie off, just kick the boat up to slaken line a bit and grab it to tie off on cleat, then boat will fal back snugging up. In wind and seas better to stay low up on bow and crawl on all 4s. I...

RobertH, no I have the original galvanized fluke design and leave it in it's holder, not much use for an anchor most time spent drifting. Actually removed the powerwinch freefall and replicated the existing pupit in fiberglass, made it a bit deeper. It was checking on the surface and didn't...

I was wondering, my 200 HPDIs and every motor since worked on muffs. If the water is spraying out around the muff seal under pressure, need to get a tighter squeeze. I bent the U bracket on my muffs closer together. If muff is not big enough thats opportunity for a vendor to make such a...

Why do muffs not work on the Fs?

What was the idea of the two openings to the cabin, at least it looks that way.

Bryan, let me know when your are selling! I had an '88 Overnighter for 5 yrs, even overnighted on it out of the elements. Best 20 ft walkaround ever designed by anyone - back in the 70s. That's why everyone else copied it. When I get older and start going down in size, the center consoles are...

Ray, I'd suggest you have a Yamaha tech check out the motor fully, takes nothing to wreck a motor with a $7K or more repair bill, they don't put out a whimper either beforehand letting you know. As far as filters go, particlualry the VST filter, if you can handle tools you can do it yourself...

I've heard a price bottom line soup to nuts quoted of $50K to repower to the big block 250s full controls, props, tax, pulling boat, etc. Once your existing F250s are straightended out correctly, you will be back in business with no notice like it ever occured the first time. Take the savings...
