23, The anodes will protect you from corrosion. The zinc sacrifices itself before aluminum. You can bottom paint your motors for marine growth. You just need to use the correct type of anti-fouling paint for aluminum. I buy Trinidad by the gallon to paint the hull every other year. I have...

That link is fixed.

I have not heard anything back yet but will surely post what I get. In the meantime, I do not think it is a great idea to go cutting without knowing if it is in exactly the right place to accomplish our mission. Grady should be able to advise exactly where and how large to cut to gain access...

I hope this is allowed here. If not, my apologies and mod please delete. I read the forum rules and do not see this as advertising, spamming or trolling, which is also why I did not post it in the for sale forum, as I am not selling or advertising anything, just buying. I hope the mods agree...

I am sure they will say that. I wrote them a note, will see. But since I cannot even see them and know they are a few feet away and even an orangutan couldn't do it, I want to see how big a hole they make and where to do it.

I guess I can use the rod holder bracket, match it up with a new one and just use the holder. That bracket took away the only spot I had to put a name on the stern. Will make something small for a name and put it on the tuna door, gotta have a name to make it mine! 8) But that black...

Good question Dan. I just pulled my livewell on my 272 to access my oil tanks for removal/cleaning/filers, saw my port drain hoses not looking too good and immediately started wondering about the starboard side, an impossibility, would LOVE to know what Grady has to say about this.

Re: Just bought my 272 and not wanting to put large graphics on hull sides and not much room on transom, of all pics I have seen, I like this approach best. I will have something subtle like this, just on my tuna door.

Hmmm. Looks like I may have just enough room under livewell. I took out the livewell to remove my oil tanks to clean them and replace the filters, seems just enough room there.

I have a 2000 272 but thanks much greatwhite.

It all seems to be the same. Is the 'Grady' canvas made cookie cutter style as it appears to be? Meaning, can I buy 1 piece from a dealer and it will just fit right? I am missing the center backdrop and doubt broker will be able to track it down through previous owners. Missing things after the...

Thanks Jeff. It is a 2000.

33! Nice! :mrgreen:

My last boat burned 21 gph at 25 knots, so this boat is an economy model for me. :D

I always need a back up plan. Not comfortable having only 1 house batt. Anyone add a 2nd one? Looking for a good place to put it and wire it to the other house batt via an ACR for charging.

I wouldn't try to move the gauges. Where they are is where the harnesses reach. I am going to get a Raymarine E7D with radar. Does it all and remote on helm wheel. Also control stereo from screen. Also can see radar and nav screen sitting at the stern on cell phone or tablet, has Bluetooth and...

Thanks all! Blocks are standard procedure on the island. Stands would sink in the mud after snowmelt. When I sold my last boat in February of 2013, the hauler's trailer sunk in the mud as soon as he lifted the boat after the blizzard melted, took 6 hours to get the boat and trailer into the...

My 272 Sailfish was delivered today!

My last boat went to Indiana from here on Long Island. Buyer paid me through wire transfer, then I Fedex overnighted to him the keys and CG Documentation (title), the very next morning after I saw the funds cleared in my account. Boat got hauled a few weeks later. No survey. I never met buyer...
