im at "dales marina " right at the mouth of the canal on the bayside in bayhead

well now that boat is tucked away for the winter, nothing left to do but talk about it here.. - i just ordered a new 55 gallon drum yamalube from a boat dealer. by west marine prices, the savings is 50%. - i need to finish trimming out the compartment i made when i yanked the fridge. alot of...

try holding the ball in a vertical position while you pump.

my dog fell off the dock once & had a hard time getting him in. he now wears a harness that has a handle at the top. it makes lifting a dog out of the water easier. it gives you something to grab, kinda like lifting a peice of luggage

i have a 2001 265 w 200 hpdi,s and again have pretty much same numbers as " finnatic & ronzo ". another great feature unmentioned to this boat is how the motors are tucked so close in, that really proves to help out alot when when u have big fish on.

i dont own a 360 so i cant give you advice on what could help u with that boat. iif i can thuink of anything helpful i will post for you. AS FOR ALL U OTHER REPLIERS. NOT ONE OF U ADDRESSED OR ANSWERED HIS QUESTION.! YA PRACTICALLY TURNED THE GUY OFF TO THIS FORUM WHICH IS USUALLY A COURTEOUS &...

by the way, i havent had my boat "dig in & veer" off since i learned how to work this hull.

yes these boats will " grab " and veer off when the bow is down. and as stated before it can be scary. i have a 2001, it took me 2 seasons to get the handling down i cannot speak for 265's produced after the hull modification but you need to learn how to drive these boats. - start off with...

i second the "GE 100% silicone almond kitchen & bath". it looks like thats what grady uses.

cold beer in the cooler! i intend on leaving my valise raft in the compartment. ( no not while im offshore) among other things. but i do think that open area will come in handy for backpacks, overnite bags etc..that some guys seem to bring when they r going fishing for 6 hours. im not concerned...

i made a recent post soliciting ideas regarding the removal of my fridge. ( which was rusty & i never used anyway). my original plan was to put a custom cabinet in but after removal of fridge the space down there is huge. it measures approx. 33"d x 20"h x 20" w. what i did was; - for a...

i removed my fridge last year in my 265 express. the existing area is about 24" w & h and 36" deep. i was going to just make a cabinet same size as fridge but dont want to waste all that space. heres what i was thinking ; floor is now basically foam, to establish a floor i would maybe put 5/4...

my last boat had ap. found it most useful for trolling,especially getting lines out with only 2 guys. i personally do not like it because i think it can give you a false sense of security. or the opportunity to fall asleep at the wheel.

i have a 2001 265 . i love it. just took a while to get used to how to how to drive it, she can list real hard while underway if you dont know how to control her.

my last year bill on my 265 express ( very similiar to sailfish )to haul in & out, power wash, winterize 2 outboards, winterize the head, shrink wrap & block & store was about $1900+. they told me rates were going up a little, i figured this year would tip over $2000. ( this did not include...

the boat was hauled no problem, overall height on trailer was about 12'8" pulled up next to an 18 wheeler and i was few inches lower than it. the 1st hauler i called must not have needed my money ??

me & pete were trolling for bluefin etc.. out about 17 miles from manasquan inlet (area called little italy) on a calm clear day. we hooked on to a stick about 5' long. i reeled it in, as i was leaning over the gunnel to unhook the stick about 3" in diameter, i noticed it was hollow at end &...

thanks guys i foung someone willing to transport the boat. the 1st hauler wasnt completely wrong though. around exit 130 on the gsp is a low bridge not sure of the overall clearance , thinking around 14'. my boat is 11'8" from lowest keel point to hardtop. add about 7" for radar. 12'3". add...

thanks for the responses. it did seem odd being told my boat was too "tall", ( i never said too "wide"). i am going to check some other haulers. as far as saving money....it will be a significant savings along with the the convenience of being able to do maintenance work whenever i want, having...

i usually keep my 265 express stored at a marina for winter storage but this year i would like to have it hauled home ( approx 50 miles ) to save a few bucks & be able to work on it efficiently over winter. i contacted a local hauler with a good reputation, he told me my boat was too tall to...
