    Advice on a 282 Sailfish

    It certainly sounds like you are doing a lot of due diligence here. Get the survey done and scope the engines and and close the deal!

    Go with the ones from the post showing the grid background. I actually found pictures online, printed them out and laid it out on my own grid. A bit of free hand work but it did the trick. Good luck

    Cabin rod holders

    You can purchase them from Grady White but they were about $400 when i checked. I made my own out of starboard and they came out pretty good. I think I still have the templates if you want me to send them to you.

    Hello, I have a 2003 GW Sailfish 282. Bough it used 2 years ago and love it. I don't use the Windlass much but when I do, someone always has to go forward when I drop it to give it a push to get it to fall. It seems like there is too much weight aft that won't let it fall by itself. Any...
