That is a great story and the purpose of my trip this weekend, since my son is now 29 and has his own 2 year old son, it is hard to spend time together like the old says, so this weekend we get to spend a few days together on the boat chasing fish and having laughs. It won't be long and I will...

I just polished the 232. Getting ready for Salmon this weekend.

Why the acetone on the rub rail?

Thanks Ky Grady, I enjoyed the old pictures. I am glad I purchased my 232 new in 2004 and will most likely not have to purchase another one.....lets hope they keep the 232 and Marlin in the lineup.

Please post pictures once your boat is on the trailer, nice rig

My 2004 Bracket leaks as well, so I recently replaced the plug on the bottom shown in previous notes above with a more robust one and have recently resealed the top access port. Hopefully this solves the problem.

If I could easily trailer the Marlin I would have one but I will stick with my Gulfstream which I can trailer easily to Lake Michigan from my home port of Gibraltar, Mi.

My bracket of the same vintage on my 232 leaks, which I plan to remedy this month, so good idea to check to see if full of water.

Very nice 270...too bad they did not make that boat with a full transom.

I am interested in what you have in 9

I purchased my 232 new and have a 225 four stroke with a 8 high thrust yamaha kicker for trolling, it pushes the boat for speeds slow for eye and fast enough for salmon on lake michigan. As others have said, do your homework and if a salty just make sure you check it out, I am sure it will be...

I noticed you have the same boat as mine, a 2004 gulfstream with an original motor of 225. Mine was on a Gil bracket. Did you ever have any issues with the access cover leaking on your gil bracket and if so what did you do to remedy the issue?

Denko send me a private message and we can compare note on Erie and Lake Michigan....I am getting ready to plan my spring trip for Coho and Kings to Lake Michigan. I have a 225 four stroke with an 8 HP High Thrust kicker that I use for all my trolling. I can troll as slow as I need for EYES...

Ranger has a good net and a reasonable price and the handle extends.

I chase Walleye and perch on Lake Erie out of Grosse Ile, MI and then move over to Lake Michigan a few times in the summer for salmon in my Gulfstream.

My 2004 came with a Yamaha 225 four stroke and runs great, not a speed demon but is enough HP with a full crew with gear.

No, and when I replaced them I inserted life caulk before inserting the screws. I may have to find more robust anchors that the screws go into.

I have the 2004 Gulfstream and my Raymarine ES9 is in my upper box, works great in that area.

That is a good idea to fill it with water, I can easily do that in the spring when I get access to it. That will be my first thing I do to solve the riddle. Thanks for the suggestions.

I have a 2004 Gulfstream with a single engine attached to the Gill Bracket. The Gill bracket has a hatch on top and a drain valve on the bottom. Water gets in but does not drain, therefore the leak must come from the circle hatch. What would be the best sealant to use around the round metal...
