Fwd fuel cap fills the fwd tank (main) and the rear fuel cap fills the rear tank (aux). You should have a fuel lever (Aux-Main) where you fuel water separator's are. Make sure that is switched to the tank you filled.

My uncle repowered his 2000 263 with 200 Zuke's. Perfect match for the boat. He lives in Panama and runs charters. His typical run's are in the 80 mile range out to the humps and hanibal bank. Motors haven't skipped a beat and pushes his boat without any issues or hesitation.

Luckydude, I hope you don't mind me asking...is the dealer Central Valley Marine? I plan to repower with Yamaha's in the near future and would rather steer away from a dealer that has been giving you the run around, twice. My trailer winch post setup mirrors KY Grady's, hope that helps. It's...

265 pulled by a diesel 2500 Ram. I barley feel her back there when towing (usually an hour tow to fish but had pulled her down and back from San Diego, 8+hours one way). I had a F250 v10 gasser and she struggled pulling the boat up grades. A 1500 is the smallest truck I would tow her with and...

I used to pull my 265 with a F250 V10, she was a real gasaholic and struggled up hills. Replaced her with a 2016 Ram 2500 and barely notice she is back there and enjoying driving the diesel as my daily driver. First pic was the day I received her after a 3k mile tow across country and the...

Wow, Skunk they look great..congrats! Do you see any difference on how the hull sits on the water compared to the older motors? Do your scuppers drop below the waterline if you or a friend stands in the stern of the boat? She does look great! I also remember reading you can override the trim...

I went with ivory. A full sheet of Polycarbonate for the front windshield and strataglass for my sides.

I have a set of speakers installed in my upper electronics box and have zero interference from them. No issues with my radar either, but my dome is also ancient!

On my 265 the auto pilot pump is where Skunk and Captain Swag suggested. Lots of space behind those drawers. The pump is located on the port side of the boat, hope that helps. I was able to run my transducer cables through the bathroom access hatch and straight up to my dash, you should...

California law states nothing wider than 8'6'' can be towed without a permit. I tow my boat around the Bay Area all the time and haven't had a problem and I'm at 9'6'' wide. I tow to HMB, Bragg and Santa Cruz all the time and have zero problems with my boat, route or CHP. I stay at 55mph and...

Pretty cheap, damn! Did you inquire about the 250's and what the price difference would be?

I love my HPDI's as they are a perfect match for the hull....they are just getting old and tired as they just hit their 20th birthday! Not under powered by any means. My cruise is 3500-3800rpms at 1.5mpg 25-28mph. WOT is 5400rpms @ .8 mpg at 42mph. They are pretty efficient for 2 smokes. If...

250's...I was told the new v4's don't have the hole shot/torque required for a heavy boat like a 265....you don't want to put a ring on her finger then file for divorce! Enjoy shopping, when I'm ready to repower my 265 in a few years I plan to throw on 250 or 300's, not even looking at the 200's.

No need a for a triple axle for that boat. Have him put 5,200lb axles and you will be fine with only a tandem. That is what I have for my 265 which is a tad heavier than your boat and haven't had a problem. Less trailer maintenance with 4 wheels compared to 6. edit..just saw that the trailer...

2000 Grady 265 Express and 1976 17ft Montauk. Best of both worlds! Montauk has a 115hp 2 stroke and screams on the water, got her going 48mph the other day in a stiff wind. Love both boats, would only sell them for a large sportfish but currently content.

Hey Jack..not sure if they make the radio anymore but I installed the Fusion RA205 in my 265 and it has works great. Simple and cheap. If you have a Sirius XM subscription don't forget to install the ACSVX300 connector and Galaxy SRA 50 antenna to stream your service. No need for the flashy...

Boatcoversdirect.com Purchased a cover for my 265 for $900 out the door and will be purchasing another cover for my Montauk ($450). They are not customer but the fit is amazing for non-custom and keeps the boat clean while in storage.

Bought her naked and like the look better. Don't mind the busted spotlight, damn tree branch got me.

My washdown pump went out two weeks ago and I replaced it with this: https://www.easternmarine.com/shurflo-pro-baitmaster-livewell-pump-4648-153-e07
