I have a 2002 Gulfstream. Twin Honda 130s with 600 hours. Boat is a tank. I keep up with her with regular maintenance and am constantly updating, but no major issues. I hope to keep her for many more years.
I can highly recommend the Gulfstream. I started with the 228 Seafarer, then went to the 268 Islander, and now have a 2002 Gulstream with twin Honda 130s. I think it is the best riding boat of the 3. I can go 40 miles offshore or fish in the bay. I love the versatility and the size of the...
Maybe a stupid question, but if I would like my fuel tank inspected and the fuel lines replaced this winter storage season, do I need to run the tank close to empty or doesn't it matter?...John
Thanks very much for all of your responses. Is replacing the fuel lines a big project? I don't do any of the work myself and would rely on my marina to do the work. Just looking for what it may involve.
I have a 2002 Gulfstream. Does anyone have any idea how long gas tanks last on these models? Just trying to be proactive with any potential problems...John
I am looking to add an autopilot for my 2002 Gulfstream with twin Honda 130s. Never had one and I think it would make my offshore trips a little easier as I get older. Any suggestions on what make/model that would fit my boat? Also how much would an approximate cost be installed by an...
I have a 2002 Gulfstream that I take great pride in her appearance. The blue area on the side of the boat where the 232 logo is located has faded. I'm not sure what material it is (paint?) Does anyone know how this can be restored to look like new?
Bugs, just curious, how old is your engine? Mike, am I reading your response correctly that if I'm offshore fishing and the pee stream stops, I'm ok until I get back to the dock to clear it again?
John
I have twin Honda 130s on my 2002 Gulfstream with about 500 hours on them. I have the same problem. I use mono outrigger line. Problem for me is that as I am getting older, the access to the holes is getting harder for me to reach. It really is annoying. I change water pumps every other year and...
Thanks for all the imput. My boat is in impeccable condition except for the piping under the hardtop near the cockpit. It was that way when I bought it 6 years ago. I always tell my kids to rinse rinse and rinse with fresh water under the hardtop. Obviously the previous owner did not do this. It...
Re: Would anyone be interested in having starboard work done
Jason,
Not sure which way is easier to reach you. I also just sent you an email. I have a 2002 Gulfstream and one of the toe rails is broken at one of the screws in the cockpit. I would like a new one made.
I have a 2002 Gulfstream. There is some pitting in the piping in the usual places under the hardtop. (was like that when I bought it 6 years ago). Can the aluminum be powder coated white to make it look better and to update the look of the boat? I know nothing about the powder coating process...
Fred, could you tell me who did the repair in Croydon? I have a 2002 gulfstream that needs the same repair. I keep my boat in Ocean Pines MD, but I live in Richboro PA. Thanks!
