wilmington nc Glad to see another 240 offshore owner Norm. I would be interested in any gathering in the Wilmington, NC area. I generally run out of Wrightsville or Ocean Isle. Safe Boating!

last chance store hours The store in Wilmington, NC on Green Meadows Dr. will be open today Thursday 10-29-09, closed Friday, and open a few hours Saturday am. I just loaded up on some stuff yesterday. Found some new cabin cushions, and batteries 50% off, tons of other gear. Seats, rod...

locker I have the same problem, however the opening has come in handy when the rode somehow gets tangled (Rough Seas). I was thinking about making a door with a hinge of some sort with a gasket and wing nut fastener. Kinda interested in what you come up with.

dive boat It sounds like you are on the right track. I dive out of a old 1980 240 offshore walk around single 200hp. I was out two days ago and ran into some 7ft seas and she handled great. I did get one decent dive in before it just got too rough. The best thing was while heading back 1.5...

documented Thanks for the info, I will check those places. Safe Boating

prob thanks for the input, I'll check him out and see what he says.

I just found out when doing a registration renew, that my 240 offshore has been coast guard documented, and I had to reactivate that also, then nc was able to also renew my state registration. luckily I was able to do that over the phone. Now my question is that I cannot find where the...

rpm It is showing about 6100 on the tach, so I've been backing the throttle down to 5500 or so,

I was wondering what Prop size to go with on my 240 offshore, with a 1996 200 hp Johnson, I have been running a 15x15, but it turns too many RPM's it might be right for a fully loaded down boat, just not sure. I have a 14.25 X 19 also. Just wondering what you guys think. Thanks in advance.

***update*** I have installed a new (used) motor on my old 240 offshore and she seems to be running great!! I am now in the process of getting her outfitted for some year round coastal NC diving...If anyone has any tips, tricks or gear that would help me outfit her let me know. I have put a...

going for it I'm going for this one, the compression checked out 120, 115, 110was the lowest. Cranked up fine. and lower unit checked out. agreed to load test it once it is installed. 90 day breaking policy. About 10 gradys being worked on also gave me some confidence. Hope it works out...

repower Money is surely an issue. I am planning on taking the boat to the shop tomorrow and listen to the engine run..but leaning that way for sure

1996 johnson It turns out the shop has a 1996 200 johnson ocean runner aprox-350-450 hrs. that came came off a Boston whaler running duals, and repowered with 4-strokes. 2 weeks ago. it was in a dry stack and drove 20miles by waterway to the marina doing the re-power. supposedly ran great...

re power thanks for the input, it has surely gave me some things to think about.

trade part I left out The $2000 includes my motor as a trade in also..

I have the 1980 240 offshore posted on here with the 1990 E-rude 200 with a melted piston, I have found a shop here that will sell and install a 1996 evinrude ocean pro, for $2000 turn key job. The compression is 110/120 in all cylinders. Should I do the trade or rebuild my current engine...

24 offshore No I found the boat locally, NC. It was on a boat lift and drove it to the ramp. It actually didn't run too bad considering it was only running on 5 cylinders.

**update*** My 1980 240 offshore is becoming a project, but hopefully I will get her going soon. It has a 1990 evinrude 200 that had just been "rebuilt" when I got her..Short story it now has a melted piston!! but hey thats life, pulling the powerhead this week and taking it to a reputable...

I just bought a 1980 offshore 24 with an 2 year old rebuilt 1990 Evinrude 200, on an aluminum trailer..Just wondering what this setup is worth, and what I need to pay attention to as I am new to Grady White boats..Thanks in advance.
