    Has anyone weighed a 265?

    I have 400 lbs just in ice when we go out for albacore. :D :D I will say though, it honestly is a pretty easy boat to trailer. I don't moor my boat, and typically tow it about 200 miles round trip when i go out. Towing with a 2500 Duramax

    Lee Jr outrigger pole guides

    I assume mine are Lee's as well, as the eyelet guides pictured above are for a Lee's. My poles insert into one another. I havent tried to see if they come apart, but I may give that a try. If i was going to drill, it would be in the same location as yours, where the poles overlap.

    Lee Jr outrigger pole guides

    My poles are different than yours. The only threaded eye is towards the top of the pole, but mine is also missing the spike. The rest of the pole doesnt have any holes. The guides are like this. I thought about just drilling holes and using a threaded eye like how you have yours, but I...

    Lee Jr outrigger pole guides

    Thanks. Anyone with a 265 run double lines on their outriggers? Debating if I want to run a single or double, just wasn't sure if running a double is a pain to deal with. First boat with outriggers

    Lee Jr outrigger pole guides

    My outrigger poles were not rigged when I bought the boat, so I'm looking to put new rigging on them. I noticed it's missing a couple of the guides. Anyone have a source for a replacement or recommendation for new ones? Thanks

    265X fuel tank replacement

    Did they put any coating on the new tanks, or just put in as bare aluminum?

    Garibaldi, OR tuna

    Left the dock at 5:30, ran out to the 125.10 x 45.50 line, dropped our trolling gear and got our first one after about 20 minutes. Trolled SW, singles, doubles, and a couple of triples on the troll. Would pick up a couple on the jig, but could never get a full jig stop going. Most of the troll...

    Buying a 2002 228 without trailer- Need trailer advise

    I've been looking at changing the bunk material on my trailer, it has the carpet now, looking for something a little more "slick" so it goes on the trailer a bit easier.

    NJ fishing reports

    Yeah, I don't think Ive ever seen worms in sea bass. See them in the larger ling cods and halibut though. Agree, sea bass is great. I prefer that and lings over halibut.

    265 first ocean run

    I think he was referring to my total adjustment, since the motors were set up at 27.5 on the tie bar.

    265 first ocean run

    Was a pretty flat ocean yesterday, so hard to give 100% feedback on the change. But it seems to be quite a bit better, only noticed a slight slip when coming in a couple of times, where before it was almost a constant. Here is the after pic, this was heading out, doing approx 34mph.

    265 first ocean run

    I adjusted the motors to "toe-out" 28.5 on the tiller bar, 27.5 on prop shafts. Taking it out tomorrow for some rock fish and Coho, so I'll see if it changes.

    vent window repair

    Mine was missing the T handle on one side when I bought the boat. Just a piece of plastic in there now. Would like to add the handle again to be able to open it. Have you sourced one of those before?

    265 first ocean run

    Yeah, I had mentioned earlier that I dont see any real convergence of the prop wash. Looks like they run parallel all the way out when on plane

    265 first ocean run

    So I got around to measuring, at the tiller bar it's 27.5" and at the prop shaft it's 28.5". I think he set it up backwards being "toe-in".

    265 first ocean run

    I actually had seen that thread. I'm thinking one of the previous owners must have replaced them at some point with the "off the shelf" short ones. I honestly think the only difference is the that pipe/stop. Looking at the ones you posted, the bodies look identical. Mine seem to be working OK...

    265 first ocean run

    Its mounted one hole down from the top hole, unfortunately cant go to the top hole or it hits the bang cap. Unless I put some sort of spacer between the motors and transom, or a jack plate.

    265 first ocean run

    Not really sharp turns, probably a 45 or less off the top of my head. But I even noticed it when running straight and the boat was rocking over chop/swells. My first boat with twins, so I know there is a bit of an adjustment for that as well, since the motors dont sit dead center like a single...
