    Price check

    Bear in mind that the asking prices are not necessarily indicative of the selling prices. Searching for prices of boats for sale is not going to let you know what a "good deal" is. Many factors will effect the pricing, such as condition, engine hours, location, etc.

    Why Grady, going to the factory

    Same company since the start and customer relations second to none. I've been able to get information and support for the 1994 228G, 1999 232G, and 2000 232G I've had. Try doing that with a brand that's been passed around like a cheap whore between corporate investment groups who only care...

    On Board Battery Charger Location

    I installed my charger on the inside of the starboard side transom wall of my 232G. The transom is thick enough to allow some hefty machine screws to seat without penetrating the whole thing. I'll get a pic or 2 for you.

    88 Gulfstream cabin sink

    There should be a fresh water pump switch at the helm. Make sure there's fresh water in the tank. Turn on the pump, then open the faucet at the sink. You should get water out of it. If not, ensure the pump is good, fuse/breaker is OK, etc. It may take a short time if it needs to be primed...

    Fixing a gunnel mounted rod holder?

    I think you're all overthinking this basic problem and are making a mountain out of a molehill. Pull the liner all the way out, coat the outside with dish soap as a lubricant, then just push it back into the tube.

    Fixing a gunnel mounted rod holder?

    Just push it down into place, but ensure it's clocked correctly so the bevel is flush when it's seated.

    new motor question

    You must have installed a heavier 4-stroke motor where a lighter 2-stoke used to live. I would be very wary of moving the motor vertically on the mounting holes, as this will most likely result in cavitation if the cavitation plate of the motor is not even with the running surface of the boat...

    Fake teak wood

    Just be cautious with the Penetrol. I'd like to say there was a standard version and a marine version. I haven't seen the marine version in a long time, except online in Australia. I used the marine version on my 1994 228G duratrim about once a season, and it seemed to brighten the material...

    Replace Fridge with AC. What challenges to expect?

    If you add an AC unit, you'll need to install a genset. The batteries and an inverter won't supply enough juice to run it.

    Molded plastic cockpit shelf deterioration

    Has anyone with an older (mine is a 1999 232G) model GW experienced the corners of the molded plastic "shelves" on either side of the helm cockpit cracking or breaking due to age and UV exposure? They may be referred to as "acrylic deckwing inserts", GW parts #20-190 and 20-191 for port and...

    Marlin re-fit/restoration

    What are the chances that boat took on water as a result of the chine damage and visibly deteriorated genset? I'd start to look in other concealed spaces as best you can to see if there's any staining or other telltales of intrusion...

    2005 282 Sailfish Moisture Issue

    I would suggest contacting GW customer service. Carolyn, Bert, Jamie, and Danny are all excellent people and will help you get to the bottom of the issue. They can tell you how the boat is constructed, or get an engineer who will. (252) 752-2111 is the phone number. One of the reasons I've...

    Bennett Trim Tab Fluid

    Lift up the access hatches or pop-out deck plates in the cabin, starboard side by the helm. The pump and reservoir should be there.

    330 with new 300 Suzukis captivating

    I agree with those who say the torque of the Suzukis is far greater than the Yamahas. On our 31 Jersey Cape CC, we have to run larger 4-blade props to handle the motors. Unfortunately, it's a trial and error process to get the boat dialed in.
