Re: Survey Issue Today Suggestions Needed on Hard Top Rottin Maybe this will help? Final negotiated price before this issue was uncovered in the survey was $68,500 on the following. 2006 GW Sailfish 282 with twin F225 with 340 hours on them. Warranty on hull till 2013 and on engines until...

Re: Survey Issue Today Suggestions Needed on Hard Top Rottin Well Grady has their answer. The will replace the top which is like $2800 but not pay for any of the labor to do it. They are telling me the labor for it will be around $2000 to $2500 to replace it all. The new top will be a balsa...

Re: Survey Issue Today Suggestions Needed on Hard Top Rottin That is a sweet find and looks the same as the 2006 one. Does anyone know if the 04 and 06 hard tops are the same? If they do not fix it this could be an option. I may need to look at it for a backup plan. Hope it is dry.

Re: Survey Issue Today Suggestions Needed on Hard Top Rottin I am remaining silent to see where it goes via GW. If they just replace the top no issue and I plan to oversee the mountings personally if not do them myself or hire my own guy. I really think that poor installation practice of the...

Re: Survey Issue Today Suggestions Needed on Hard Top Rottin That was the first question out of my mouth when the sales guy tried to push me for a what do you expect from the seller? How much does is the repair going to cost? Anyone know what they get for just the fiberglass part of the top?

Re: Survey Issue Today Suggestions Needed on Hard Top Rottin Funny you mention the fuel tank cover. Great feature of the boat for replacement. Also the worst weakness in the deck. Surveyor said to do exactly what you did before it ever gets bad or cracked. It will be a cheap repair upfront...

Re: Survey Issue Today Suggestions Needed on Hard Top Rottin I am guessing this repair could cost a bit like $4k and that would make the boat not such a great deal. The broker is a GW dealer so he is calling the factory. I am thinking that they installed all of the gear on this top so they...

So did the survey on a 2006 Sailfish 282 today. Everything was pretty much in order and easily can be dealt with. One big show stopping issue right now is the hard top is shot. De-laminated and very wet. Any suggestions? What is the hard top cored with, I think balsa? Any idea on the...

So did the survey and the biggest issue is the hard top is shot. Delaminated and very wet. Any suggestions? What is the hard top cored with? Any idea on the replacement cost? Should I attempt repair? Need some real help on this one.

My father always taught me if a deal looks too good then it probably is and do your homework. Postponed the survey/sea trial from last thurs. to tomorrow due to the weather. Wanted the best conditions to go over her in. Now I just need tomorrow to come already. Hope the deal still looks good...

Could not do the trial and survey yesterday had to postpone till next week. :( The boat is Empty Pockets - How do you know that?

I agree with the above post. Kill the batteries and start searching with you multimeter. If everything is truly dead there and it is intermittent you can hook something like this up to see what is drawing while you are away. http://www.rc-electronics-usa.com/meter ... tions.html Kinda a...

Sorry meant to mention that they would save you about 250 lb (476 lb ea) over the 200s (593 lb ea)

I don't know what size the boat is but would twin 150s work? I would rather have twin 150s then a single 300.

The weight calculation is below. The total with 10% on a 2006 Sailfish 282 is 10619 lb. The total for the trailer is 10625 lb. Granted it is right there but I am not a trailer every weekend guy. Use it once to put her in and once to take her out. Haul it back to my home (probably light on...

Based on all the advice I think for my little use bunks will make the most sense. Less maint, more support and I will only load and unload once each per year. I am looking at an aluminum tri axle venture bunk trailer rated at 10600 lb. The trailers seem good and a buddy has one that he is...

Yes from the Cape.

I just made the deal late Saturday so we could not get all the paperwork done and stuff scheduled. Sea Trial and survey should be this week. Yes I meant a good checklist for me and also the last one helps me to make sure he does his job. I got a pretty comprehensive list for a survey off THT...

Does anyone have or could get the bow eye to drain plug length on 2006 Sailfish 282? I am guessing it is around 27' or just under. Thank you.

Capt Bill Your list is great and I have printed it for reference while out there. Thank you. The surveyor I have coming out has a great reputation and has been doing it awhile. He actually mentioned the bottom paint/meter not working and said he would have to tap the hull. I see you have...
