Hi. I picked up my cockpit Pads from Arts Auto Marine this morning. A quick look they seem great. Paid under 1K. I will post pics if I can. I am pretty happy. Thanks again for the recommendation.

Thanks for the input. Dennis- I had asked about going under or behind with the snap tab. They were against the idea. If there was no exposed side on the bottom, it wasn't worth it( in their opinion. Maybe I will just skip the tabs. What do people fill the holes with?

I am redoing the bolsters and cockpit pads on My Grady Marlin. I was asked if I wanted tabs added to the bolster and pads with snaps on the bottom. This way I could avoid trying to drill screws back in through the weep holes. you would instead drill snap screws below the pads to snap I don't...

He beat me to the punch on the information. At first I think I may have put in North Warren St in my GPS and couldn't find it. Then I googled it and used google Maps/directions on my phone. That took me right there. It is not out back and there is a sign in front of the building. Good Luck

A quick update. I tried to get a quote back from a recommended Bristol RI. No quote came back. I went to Art in Brockton and was much more reasonable. I liked them and the price so I gave them the work. I will post when the work is complete. Thanks again for the recommendation.

Nice Pictures! How far do you need to go out to catch them this time of year?

Also I removed them and will be putting them back on....

Thank you for the responses and information. I was told he was going to reuse the foam. I am pretty sure he would do a good job since two different GW dealers recommended him. Nice people to deal with. Yes a few small pieces have curves which makes it more challenging. I have contacted...

I am looking for any names for recovering the two bolster pads and the four related pads that go around the cockpit on my 2004 marlin. I received a quote of 3k from a recommended marine canvas guy on the south shore of MA. I am having a hard time believing that it was a fair price. I have...

I was wondering if you had Kelly's upholstery try to match the off white ribbed bolsters or did you do something different. I was thinking of bringing my cushions to them. Thanks in advance!

I have the similar issue with my 2004 Grady Marlin. I bought it used from a local grady dealer salesman acting as a broker around 2012. I noticed it right after I purchased it( shame on me). I spoke to the salesman and he indicated that they send around a contractor to fix it and expect to...

I was able to install a 12 inch and a nine inch Simrad MFDs on my 04 Marlin two years ago. There didn't seem to be enough room to go any bigger.

I fish in RI and sometimes Ma. We primarily target striped bass, blue fish, albies, some black sea bass and tuna. I have more tackle than I need. Having a Bass Pro shop a few miles from home doesn't help. I tend to troll 9er rigs and tube and worm for the Bass and blues. Sometimes we use...

Thanks Bob. I am pretty loyal person to my service guy but it is a lot of money. I had been leaning toward just keeping the f225s but your obvious enjoyment of the repower has me thinking about it more :hmm

I have been considering repowering my Marlin. The advice I received is consistent with yours-300s. They are cheaper to service and better track record. Good luck with the acquisition. I am a little jealous...

Thanks Scott. The repower guy mentioned that someone had repowered their Grady with the 250 to match his the mechanical controls and save some money. His feedback was the 250s were ok but wished he went with the 300s. I first thought I would look hard at the new Yamaha 300 that can be matched...

BTW I also had a 2008 Seafarer with hardtop and it had a 250. The boat was great. Never needed more power than that...

I am going to have more follow up conversations with repower guys but my understanding is that the dealers won't take ownership of the used engines but will help you sell your engines. So really, I won't know what they are worth until someone actually buys them. I started to google used...

Thanks for the replies. I had the exhaust kit done when I bought the boat in 2013. I was told that since this was done the motors had a market

My current thoughts are to keep my 2004 Marlin for a long time. I have already updated the electronics recently. I currently have 2004 f225s and are considering repowering to f300 now rather than later. My thought is that if I do it now, I would receive a better trade in for the f225, the...
