    Just curious, MPG (or GPM) on a Marlin w/ twin Yamaha 300s?

    Subscribing to this thread. Love my 232 Gulfstream for Lake Superior. Already thinking I may need to bump it up to a 300 Marlin. Mostly for salmon fishing; but want to do some weekends with the family of 6 (North Channel; island hopping/camping). I will need a new truck though....

    Simrad AP26 questions

    So I have an older electronics package on my 232. Circa 2008/09. I have a Simrad AP26 autopilot - I don't know how "active" it is. Especially at trolling speeds (1.7-2.2mph). If I am up planing and turn the dial the boat def will change direction. When I'm trolling the boat easily goes off...

    Guilty pleasure ...anyone else

    Watch these regularly. Entertaining and educational. I def feel the same way about the folks sitting as passengers or kids without life jackets.

    Heading home with my Gulfstream

    Finally got my Gulfstream in the water this weekend. First Grady I have owned (won't be the last) first Grady I have stepped foot in. Wow!!!! That is all I can say. What a boat. Handles a lot really well!! Can't wait to spend more time on it. It definitely handles more like a 25-26' boat. Love...
