    Fuel burn on 95 263 Chase w/single Yamaha 250 Carb. Saltwate

    I had one...Unfortunately I don't remember the fuel burn but I do remember I didn't like the way the boat rode/handled with the single screw. I traded it after 11/2 seasons for the same boat with twins....Night and day difference...I loved the boat with twins...

    360 Express Maintenance - need input from 360 Owners

    If you really want to knock it out run a small fan and a small dehumidifier and empty the dehumidifier weekly. You have far more problems wit hit in Florida than we fo up here but I think that might take care of it for you.

    360 Express Maintenance - need input from 360 Owners

    I've always used Roll-Off or Spray Nine on the white rubber moulding. If you have mold that has gotten into the rubber itself the only way to get it out may be to use an abrasive sandpaper, then treat with bleach, then a finer sandpaper to wet sand it smooth. Put a moth ball in your mesh or...

    Do you own it just because you paid for it??

    Help! 282 Sailfish or 265 Express

    If you are going to spend any real time sleeping on the boat go for the Sailfish....If 90+% of the time you are going day fishing go for the 265. They are both great hulls and capable platforms but if you have a family and will "Camp" often on the boat I don't think you'll be happy with the...

    Yamaha 4 stroke fuel additives??

    Just like NEM says......Lot's of folks will tell you that it's a waste but with that much $$ hanging off the back of the boat do you really want to chance it? Startron works great with the E-10 and Ringfree will keep the motor whistle clean......Cheap insurance relaytive to everything else we...

    360 full hard glass enclosure?

    I'm with you SEL......It just doesn't look like a GW......On top of that...I LIKE opening up some of the canvas when on the hook on a hot day/night or trying to control my drift in a stiff breeze. I've never liked the hard enclosures on any express but this one looks like they forced it on...

    Do you own it just because you paid for it??

    Craig, Thank you for clearing up for us your attempts to satisfy your responsibility to your customer. A good friend of mine always says "Never mistake effort for results". Of course mistakes happen...But 7 months is unacceptable. Your customer cannot use his boat without...

    Do you own it just because you paid for it??

    Most likely the paperwork would never show the dealer.....In fact, I'm inferring that you know that to be true as the DMV told you the name of the registered owner and it was not the dealer. IF it was taken on trade (You don't know that for a fact) the prior owner should have signed the title...

    Do you own it just because you paid for it??

    Somethings fishy (No pun intended)....I'd contact GW Customer service and explain the entire story...Then call the GM of the dealer and let him know you are giving him 1 week to legally transfer the boat to your name or you are going to proceed legally to recover your entire investment in the...

    Do you own it just because you paid for it??

    There could be a lot of reasons for this problem - none of them good. Even if it is new...many banks are now requiring floorplan loans on a boat by boat basis. They could have sold you the boat but failed to pay the floorplan on that boat and used the $$ to pay for the floorplan of another...

    Generator advice to power accessories while at sea

    I believe your fridge will run off the batteries.....But in your case I would go portable. installing a new Genset in a 272 will be big$, add weight, and, if you are going that far you ought too go diesel so you'll need a tank for that as well. If you are just day tripping around I'd try to...

    If money did not matter??

    You really can't go wrong with any of the top brands anymore....But, if $$ were no issue and you had a good dealer/instaler locally that was familiar with these brands I'd go Furuno or Northstar for the main screens (Plotter/Radar/Fishfinder). Use a 1K flush thru-hull transducer (Airmar)...

    battery cableing

    There are several different ways to set this up and hopefully someone with you exact same set-up can chime in. However, the short answer is yes. Unless your accessory battery is connected to it's own charger that runs off of a generator or dockside power it needs to be re-charged through one...

    Newbie question

    I'm hoping my memory serves me correctly....But the answer is primarily size. download the brochures but I believe the following without looking it up: The Voyager was 24'7 (Same hull as the advance) The Islander was 26'8 ( Same hull as the Chase) The Sailfish came in many different...
