My 02 sailfish has the same vents in the door, just house screen sandwiched in there. I remembered to check this before my first overnight so we didn't get destroyed in our sleep. I don't recall any plastic film.

I looked to move up to one a few years ago, same age range for budgetary reasons. All of the ones in my area were owned by guys that bought them new or newer as their 'forever boat'. Then after years the kids grew up and a lot of them had sat, and sat, and sat then the realization came that...

ooooh nice, i'll have to check mine out as well. good for now but that day is coming.

I have the same boat, mine appear sandwiched in the frame as others have mentioned. Please do let us know what you find out, i always assumed if i had to deal with the screens I'd be doing the window removal/reseal job. The escape hatch is on my list for sometime this year.

It's probably one of these ones from Integrity Marine, that's why my 282 had, I bought black as I've change mine over from all things blue. If my rail weren't put through a wood chipper I'd not have bothered, but there's no amount acetone and 303 to fix what I'm dealing with. I'm not gonna do it...

I pounded hard coming out of OC inlet a couple years ago, broke a latch on my radio box. My back was sore, boat is an absolute tank, no problems. Replaced the rest of those overhead latches, the plastic was brittle from age anyway so it was their time. I agree with others, you own a Grady for a...

sounds fine to me, mine are way louder out of the water. I thought the same thing as you did at first but then dropped it in and went fishing.

They are the ones they came with, 19 pitch. 15 1/4 diameter I believe, stamped with 19-M. 3 blade stainless. My only issue with them is that to avoid bow steer in a big following sea with any kind of angle i have to trim up to get the bow higher, but this causes cavitation. If anyone knows how...

Similar, my bottom paint is not the greatest, but it's lift kept so more of a cosmetic thing for me at this point. 2002 282 with F225's. 3700 RPM nets me around 29mph and 15gph. If I'm heavily laden I'll turn 38/3900 to keep to that cruise speed. If I'm really light i can trim it way out and...

Mine are the larger slam latches so I can't help there, but if this were me I'd just measure the hole and go to soutcho and see what they have for that size opening. Can always call your local dealer too, I've had them figure stuff out for me when i just couldn't make it work. Sometimes the...

I just went through this, did the brass ones, bought the flaring tool, which is collecting dust in my garage. Yes they are 1 1/4 inch. The hardest part is finding ones greater than 3 inches in length, but they are out there. I put epoxy in the holes, they were a little damp when i got the old...

It's about an inch or so lower than my 97 would sit, which looks huge of course because of where it is. I always thought the same thing as you after gassing it up, I didn't really like it but that's just what it was. As I burned fuel the scuppers would come out of the water. I never used the...

I bought a loaded 97 228G in 2016 for 15k, I replaced all the thru-hulls, if yours are original they are shot. I also did the scuppers and the Fwd bilge pump, aside from that she was turn key. I sold it to the first guy that looked at it for the same price I paid in March of '18, at that time...

I used Z cleaner, a toothbrush, and then some Oxy Clean to get rid of the stains on the monkey fur. You'll probably have a bit of a rust ring around it like I did. Worked like a champ. My 4 year old daughter helped with the scrubbing and was actually very into the project. Start em young.

Same issue, I have 5 up there, it's a huge PITA and IMO they put the hard top too high. I'm only 5'9" so I have tons of room, but even my tall friends have no issues with clearance under the top. Like you I've had that same idea on my back burner. 5 inches would make all the difference in the...

That's the one I just installed, nearly identical to what I had, but much louder probably due to it being new.

Interested to see what others say, I use a damp microfiber cloth most of the time. Not sopping wet, just enough moisture to get the salt crystals off.

I just went through this, splashing today. I wanted the updated look and ordered both the emblems and striping direct through the dealer. In person it’s eye catching. I also changed over to Ivory Stamoid as well. AJ made it for me, my navy enclosure was shot. Also, to me the glue was the...

My go-to marina around here does fantastic work for reasonable rates, and based on this feedback, I may punt this task and sit on a porch with a beer in my hand instead
