Unfortunately I don’t think sanding will make this better. It was like this when I got the boat.

And the youtube videos Taco put out there make it look so easy, you think I need to have at least 2 extra guys to help?

I need about 65 feet, Taco doesn't have this in the supro flex small size, closest match to OEM for this boat, OEM size in the Barbour product, 1.5 top to bottom and sticking out from the boat 1 3/8. Not sure what to do, wife wants the new style with the stainless insert, Barbour apparently has...

Anyone done this project and know how many feet I'll need? Plan b is take a string and measure, but was hoping to get a first hand account of someone who has the done the rub rail itself.

On my 282 I removed my window box and made a shelf out of Azek and painted to match. Opened up the cabin tremendously, reattached that curtain rail to the underside of my Azek shelf, used the old window box L brackets to hold the new shelf. That box on my boat was nasty from water getting in...

Wasn't sure what year that started, my 97 had it.

I had a clog in my old 200 SWSII, just hooked up a garden hose to the flush connection cranked it and a hunk of dried up grass or some other junk shot out. good as gold afterwards.

15.25x19p. stainless. They were on the boat when I bought it and felt the setup worked for me so I never messed with them.

Difficult means by which to acquire a boat, but it's yours now so do it proud. I am on the South River, you have any bay specific questions give me a shout.

I have a 2002 282 with said power, 1800 hours and spinning. Best cruise range depending on conditions and loading is 3700-3800 rpm, 14-16 gph doin 28-30 mph. Trimming out is a factor. Plenty of torque to get out of the hole in sloppy seas. I see no reason for the 250's, though if I repowered...

I did or had done: -Head, replaced the Jabsco hand pump and hose to loop, the stink is already lessened -Enclosure, AJ made it, I did the install -Painted engines custom color to match GW hull, great guy out of Middle River, Md did this for me. I'll do the decals when they show up -Serviced...

Those are some very low hours for a 17 year old boat, it likely sat for long periods with little to no use. My F225's will get a little congested once a year usually, I run injector cleaner and push it to the pins a few times and it will go away. I put the cleaner in my aux tank on a day that i...

Seem easy enough to replace the arm? I doubt you'd find only the knob, might be able to find a strut by searching online. A handful of websites have a lot of this stuff, doesn't have to be exactly original, as long as it works in your application...

I finally got a decent weather window and completed the repair of my transom drain tubes. Here are the crucial details: -Tubes are 1 1/4 in diameter, they were sold in 3 7/8 length only, i used a saw to cut to 3 3/16, which made a perfect flare - Once I removed the old tubes, popped them out...

i had a porta pot on my old 97 228G. It came in handy as an EMERGENCY option for my kids a couple of times. I hosed it out when we got back after discarding the 'contents'. It wouldn't mess with any plumbing, just get that if you want to have that option, as others have mentioned if it...

I use PartVu, SIM Yamaha, Boat Outfitters and Jamestown Distributors the most. Availability and price drive the decision, but I do like Sim if even a little more $$$ sometimes. If they have a backordered part they will communicate that upfront or if you accidentally click on the wrong part for...

Thank you, great to have people on here that know this stuff better than I do. The panel itself is very neat, the pile below is a bunch of stuff that was added after the boat was built, some of it dead in place, which i really should remove. Every time I cross something off of my project list...

It arrived from AJ today and man is it sweet. It’s better than what was on the boat when I got her. For instance the back of the roll straps are padded and the zippers on the windshield portions are reinforced with stamoid.

I pulled the access panel from inside the head to get a look at the back of the switch panel. Looks like only the the two top and left are used. The rest must be for expansion purposes. I don’t see me adding any additional equipment so I may ditch them, or hang onto just one extra. Anything I...
