I have twin 200,s that are both acting up since I got the boat out of storage. They lose rpm,s for a second and then run fine again. Usually happens when the boat slaps down hard or in rough water. Also not able to get past 44000rpms. Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Own a sailfish and been on Marlin couple times. Big difference in size not so much in price. I think the extra money is worth it go with the Marlin.

I had my 208 past 40mph with 6 people on board, 200hp 2 stroke.

The problem with driving onto the beach is the waves are still slapping your boat around versus a dock where the boat just settles into the sand or mud at rest. Also, if you pull straight up to beach and you have say a 30' boat that means you either climb over bow rails and jump down from the...

I don't see any problem. Your 10% reprsents good faith on your part that you are genuine. If your not satisfied with the sea trial, or for any reason you will get your money returned.

I think we all agree that you can.... absolutely should sea trial the boat you want to purchase. The original post, sorry don't know your name, was I don't want to go to contract to see how this boat rides. Bob, no offense, states that it's the same as buying a car. My point is, in my limited...

You sure about that??

I agree with Richie, you should at least check out some of the walk arounds. Having said that, I think nothing turns off people more than rough water. I would make sure you pick your days carefully because even in that size you can get pounded. My experience has been some people who love boats...

I just added 3 gallons to each tank and they each had a good amount in them and still had room for more so I am guessing 5 gallons each.

my 272 holds 200 gallosn 150 im main and 50 in reserve. 1 engine turns on controls can't remember which one and yes you are correct about the helm switch, just tells you how much fuel you have in each tank.

I don't know if its possible but the companion seat allows much more room and also better seating.

If trim tabs can keep your bow down when you are doing 10-15 kts they are well worth it. I didn't have them on my 208 but have them on my 272 , granted different boat, but to be able to cruise around at 10-15kts without the bow way up in the air and the people in back practically falling into...

I was thinking of doing the same thing. I found some boxes I like but am concerned about the color, most of the boxes are white. The other area I was thinking about installing a locker is in back by the live bait well. On my boat I don't have much depth but plenty of surface to cut in something...

I have a 2000 sailfish with 2 tanks. One holds 150 gallons and the other 50 gallons I don't believe they are connected but I accidently ran the reserve tank dry and felt the engine kick out for a second and then I believe it started drawing fuel from main tank?? Not 100% sure. Anyway switch the...

I wish you had posted this a couple months ago, I wouldn't have taped my line in different colors lol. Nice tip thanks

Took the roller apart today and greased, and got it to work without nudge. I think the last person tightened the bolt a little too tight and stopped the roller from spinning freely. Hopefully this will last. On to new projects. Thanks guys.

I had same problem on my 208. I took the switch apart and cleaned the metal contact, very simple never had a problem afterwards.

sorry about that, yeah the windlas works find but anchor is slow dropping off the pulpit. I was thinking of adding some weight to the achor or maybe greasing the rubber skid? Not a big deal but a pain in the butt sometimes.

anchor on my sailfish needs nudge to start falling is thier an easy solution to fix? Thanks everyone for all the help, the sailfish I just purchased is great but has alot of little issues, much more complicated than the 208 I used to have. Thanks again, MIke

thanks seasick, I will try that tomorrow
