    265 Express Info

    Jeckyl I think you said it all about this boat! When you're trimmed in that sweet spot she moves! The 265 loves a head sea! I've run well in following seas but it helps if your wiper works! The boat will take more than I'd care to Captain it through! The tabs are very sensitive if they...

    330 Express with 225hp engines

    I can't help but think a boat that weighs twice my 265s weight with only 50 more horses would be a bit slow for me. I think Grady offered them like that to help keep the price under a certain threshold. I'd want at least F-250's on the 33.

    Stumped with a wet cabin

    My 2000 265 is tight as a drum but sometimes water will enter via the anchor hatch but it always drains to the bilge and it's never been anything significant.

    265 Express Info

    It's not unreasonable for him to not want to give you a ride NOW! Wait until spring and continue to shop around until then. You might even be able to get it for less as well!

    265 Express Info

    I have a 2000 265 with 200hp OX66s I bought used in '03. I think it's the best 26' cabin boat out there outboard or inboard! It's's fast, rides great and like folks have mentioned has many features other boats beg for! I really love mine! It's rated for 500hp but I can't imagine really...

    26' tigercat, 1998 w/2 - 200hp, any thoughts?

    Skip it! From here and other sites the majority of folks say there are much better cat boats than this short lived Grady model. If you're looking for used 26' Gradys why not consider a 265 Express? No, mine is NOT for sale!

    265 Express vs 282 sailfish

    I wish my 265 had the windshield to the hardtop as well! I'd drop the side curtains in warm weather.

    Hardtop on a 225 Tournament

    I think a hardtop on a DC would be top heavy. I like the Grady DCs! They're water toy friendly but still very fishy! Some even have a head!

    Anybody having (or know of) problems with their F250's??

    Is this boat and engine paid for? i.e. you hold title . If not I'd get the warranty. What could be worse than paying on the loan and not being able to afford to fix it?

    nav lights for 265 express

    You should be able to get these no problem via internet or mail catalog. Pretty standard stuff, getting extra is a good idea too! If you die before you need it you'd been prepared!

    Forget fixing the Yammie speedo and just go by your GPS! Unless of course it starts messing other things up too.
