    Zipper slide repair ?

    I have a few zippers that have the same problem. I looped a piece of mono leader material through the hole and put a crimp on the ends.

    WIPER BLADE REFILL HELP

    I just replaced the blades on my 2000 Gulfstream over the weekend. I bought the blades at NAPA. The part # is 60-2008. They are listed as severe duty truck blades. Perfect match to the original blades.

    Modifying Bow Pulpit

    Thanks for the reply. That's what I was thinking to do but I've never worked with fiberglass. Does anyone know how to upload pics? I'd like to put a pic or 2 up of what I've done and maybe I can get some more advice. :)

    Modifying Bow Pulpit

    So when I bought my 2000 Gulfstream 5 years ago the only option missing that I really would have like was a bow pulpit. I called my local Grady dealer and was quoted approximately $1500 for a bow pulpit kit and I just couldn't justify the cost. A few years ago I picked up a bow pulpit and...

    2000 Gulfstream w Twin ox-66 150's fuel burn??

    I never tried 4 blade props on my OX66s, just ran the 13.75 x 17 M props. In regards to the 150 four strokes, I seem to average just over 2 mpg on an offshore trip loads w/gear, ice, 180 gallons of fuel etc. The big difference in fuel savings occurs while trolling with the 4 strokes, they...

    2000 Gulfstream w Twin ox-66 150's fuel burn??

    I have the same boat as you, a 2000 Gulfstream but I swapped out the OX66s last spring for a pair of f150s. Unfortunately you're fuel numbers are not that far off from what I saw when I had the 2 strokes. My typically offshore trip would average 1.3 mpg but I would often see as high as 1.6 on...

    Trailer recommendation for 2000 232 Gulfstream

    I'm looking for advice from any Gulfstream owners that trailer their boat. I'm thinking about purchasing a trailer for my boat to use on seasonal haul outs, emergency situations and possibly bringing my boat from Ocean City up to the Chesapeake for the trophy striper seasons. My preference is...

    Where are the Tigercat guys?

    Himetro, Nice looking Tigercat. I fish out of OC on most weekends during the summer and fall, mostly offshore but an occasional inshore trip. We are always looking for boats to buddy up with. Good luck with the boat and I hope to see it in OC this summer. Derek

    Downrigger for Gulfstream

    I'm thinking about purchasing a downrigger for my 2000 Gulfstream. I've been looking at the Penn 600 which seems like it can handle the job when fishing offshore. I have 2 questions, first with the Gulfstream having the full transom with bracket will I need to go with the 48" boom or can I get...

    Rubber Trim Glue

    I thought the same thing about removing the old glue/residue. I tried several things to remove it without success, so I ended up just putting the new mounting tape over the old adhesive. Once I had everything in place, I did clamp the rudder trim with a clamp for a few hours. This has held up...

    Rubber Trim Glue

    I had the same thing happen 3 years ago to my Gulfstream. I used Loctite Power Grab mounting tape. I think I bought it at HD or Lowes. It's on its 3rd season and still holding strong.

    info about 24 offshore

    The 1st Grady that I owned was a 1986 248 Offshore Pro. I loved the layout of the boat. It is similar to the Seafarer but it has a narrower beam than the Gulfstream. The 24' Offshore was a preSV2 hull so it supposedly pounds a little more and rides a bit wetter. The one I owned had lots of...

    fuel mileage comparison

    I can't give you any direct comparison for the Marlin but I just went through the same upgrade on a 2000 232 Gulfstream. I went from twin 150 OX66s to twin 150 four strokes. At cruise on the way out to the fishing grounds, I was averaging 1.2-1.4 mpg with the OX66s now I am between 1.8-2.0 mpg...

    Gulfstream with Twin F150s

    Chris, Yeah that answered my question. I'm hanging a pair of F150s on the back of my 2000 Gulfstream. Looking forward to the better fuel economy.

    Thinking about buying a 97 Gulfstream. Need some Insight

    I have a 2000 Gulfstream with twin 150 SWS II. This is a great boat and motor combination. The Gulfstream seems much larger than a 23' boat and has lots of cockpit space. Don't expect the 150 2 strokes to be great on fuel. On a typical offshore trip loaded down with gear, ice, crew, and 2...
