    Best Scuppers?

    Southco sold me 2 all stainless deck drains. The people went out of their way to help me. The ones that matched best were not in the catalog. They sent me the drawings to confirm that they would work. The grates are removeable and domed slightly to help prevent debris from lying on top and...

    Adventure 208 + Yamaha F225A - performance and PROP choice!

    Re: Adventure 208 + Yamaha F225A - performance and PROP choi This question is impossible to answer without a wide open rpm figure. You should definitely email your question to Grady. I'm sure they would love to hear from you. They may have a performance bulletin for your exact boat motor...

    Potential 1988 232 Gulfstream owner

    At that price it's definitely buyer beware. I would think a marine survey is a must. People pay that much for just a trailer. If it works out I'm sure you will enjoy it. I can understand money being tight but have you considered what it's going to cost in fuel and upkeep? Good luck and let us...

    Repower 25' dolphin with 175 e-tech

    I repowered my 92 dolphin with 200 Suzukis this year. I Have seen 50mph so far and there's plenty of hole shot. I'm sure the 175 Suzukis would have been adequate. If the etecs weigh the same I would still get the 200s. It's a great time to change out the steering and all those little things that...

    Dolphin Diesel

    Here's the 1993 sales brochure . The dolphin is on page 19. The good thing about Grady is you can call the factory and ask about that boat and motor combo. They treat you like you are buying a new one. Good luck. http://www.gradywhite.com/customer/cata ... s/1993.pdf

    Repowering question

    This time last year I got several quotes for Etecs. I did not get quotes for a complete job that came anywhere near 13k each. That is a steal. Get that one in writing! I have a 92 dolphin with a bracket and I chose suzuki 200's. I think the 175's would be the ideal for that boat. I'm not sure I...

    repower from johnson to yamaha

    Re: re power from johnson to yamaha That sounds a little better. $1500 to get your boat sellable and maybe get some use while you're shopping for another model seems reasonable. It adds up fast though, probably $500 just for the steering cylinder. Maybe just sell your rig to a bargain hunter...

    repower from johnson to yamaha

    You would need to check the steering cylinder. If it's sea star hydraulic they list 2 different steering cylinders for those motors. The mounting holes in the transom should be the same. Seems like a lot of effort to install another motor that's old enough that you are going to be reluctant to...

    Gulfstream Fuel Primer Pumps..needed????

    My carbed engines absolutely wouldn't start without them. During my re power they were bypassed and the new fuel injected engines prime themselves just fine.

    Gulfstream upper berth problem

    I took the snaps to my local canvas shop and they were able to sew new straps to them. I just poked a hole for the original bolt to go through the other end and I'm good as new for very little cost. good luck!

    Milky oil in lower unit.. 1997 Johnson 175

    I'm not familiar with your exact lower unit. Basically assuming the case isn't damaged there is a seal under the water pump, a seal where the shift shaft enters the top of the case, and the prop shaft seal behind the prop. Oh and the washers behind the drain and vent plugs. You should be able to...

    Cost To Repower

    Re: Cost To Re power Ask for specific quotes from several local dealers. You will be surprised how many people can't follow directions and provide a complete quote for everything you are interested in. Once you eliminate the people that don't know exactly what they would like to charge you, the...

    Big heavy motors on a 94 228 G Tourney and max hp ??

    An important part of what brand to choose is how convenient getting it serviced will be. You may be seeing mercs because they have a price or service advantage where you are at. From what I've heard Grady's answer will always be Yamaha. Good luck keep us posted.

    Market hit bottom? 1997, 33 Tiara on ebay sold for 65K

    This boat was donated to a seller that usually sells near worthless boats for a few hundred dollars. The winning bid was from a buyer with a 7 feedback. "Balance to be paid in full within 2 days of auction end. This deposit is non refundable should the buyer fail to pay the remaining balance...

    Cost of factory installed hardtop

    To me it sounds like since your boat is already on order the dealer is trying to stick it to you. I can't imagine a dealer telling you the top is 12k when pricing a new boat initially. Personally I prefer a factory top to an aftermarket one. And those aftermarket top prices generally don't...

    adding a pulpit 95 226

    I don't know about adding one but once it's there you will love it. That little switch is one of my favorite parts of my boat. Good luck!

    Is my motor toast?

    Assuming your starter is functioning properly my guess is that the motor jumped time. Meaning your timing set is damaged. Good luck!

    Hard steering question

    Sounds like the zinc steering tab on the lower unit needs adjusted. It's an easy fix. Loosen the bolt and turn the rear edge to port. You should be able to get it balanced to turn equally from left to right. Good luck!
