I just switched to a four blade on my f300. Huge difference. Mostly positive some negative. Totally changes how the boat rides. Ken at prop gods recommended

Well I think I solved the riddle. Just spoke with Yamaha. I was told that the 350 and 300 have different bolt patterns. That would explain why the new motor is sitting too low. The boat left the factory with a 350 on it. Don't know why Grady White didn't know this?? I asked this specific...

My cavitation plate is buried. At least a couple inches. What kind of setback do you have on your bracket?

Bottom definitely could use some attention. Painted and needs to be sanded. I trimmed up the motors probably could go a little more just not used to the boat yet. Thing is I know the motor is to low. Feel s like I'm pulling two skiers behind the boat to get it on plane Just don't know why it's...

Ab Less than 10 hours on motor. Just installed 2 months ago

Grady white just told me all there boats are set up with 30"" shafts. Mine is 25"

Measured mid section 25''. This boat left the factory with a 350hp. The second owner blew it up and gave the boat to a broker. The broker put a new 300 on it, that's when I came into it. It's a great boat, I absolutely love it just don't like the performance. It sits nice in the water...

Yes I had the issue during sea trial. Walked away from deal after leaving deposit. Came back a month later and walked away again. Third time just bought it and figured I would deal with it after owning it. What's an extra long motor? How do I measure? Assuming it is 25" but wouldn't know...

I think I'm within the rule of thumb. Probably 3'' to the cavitation plate. Wot is around 5200 doing 38mph. Cruise is terrible around 4500 rpm doing 25mph getting 1.5 mpg. It feels and looks underwater. It's hard to get up on plane and the motor ends up halfway swamped getting on plane or...

I recently purchased a 2008 gulfstream. Performance is terrible. I'm pretty sure the motor is too low and I am out of holes to raise it. It's a Yamaha 300hp on a bracket with a 3' setback. Going to hire a aluminum welder to shorten and raise the lip of the bracket. Would appreciate intel on...

Thank you very much for the reply. I don't own the boat. I had a deposit down and withdrew after sea trial. The motor is definitely too low, hard to steer and hard to get up on plane. After coming off plane the wake almost swamped the motor halfway above cowling. Read here that the 350 has...

I'm interested in a gulfstream that was just repowered with a 300 Yamaha. . The only problem is the boat rides like crap. The motor is too low in the water and bolted all the way up. No room to go higher. The previous owner I think changed the bracket to accommodate a 350 which is a longer...

Yamaha 300

Hi, I'm buying a 2008 gulfstream . Anything particular to look out for? Putting new power so not concerned with the motor. Not sure if I should have it surveyed. Thanks

Thanks guys, good info! I think my truck is rated for around 11,000 # I doubt I will be taking it offshore so I won't need much gear, ice etc. and can probably carry a lot less fuel. I have been reading a lot on this site, and the general census is to go with twins. So I'll probably look for...

Hi, I am very interested in purchasing a 232 Gulfstream. This would be my third Grady. I intend to trailer it. I think I have enough truck to pull it (2014 Tundra 4x4) and would be driving less than a mile to the ramp at the end of my street. My question is how hard would it be to launch...

thanks for the replies! Is this something I can do with the boat in the water? Where is the best place to buy parts online or at a Grady dealer?
