    low compression number 5 cylinder

    I'm thinking second opinion. 450 hours is not many to have a ring issue. Just my .02 cents.

    Do I need zincs on my trim tabs?

    PETE 1313, That looks some salty water right there. Most of the larger boats around here that live in the water have the round zincs on the tabs. I'm not sure of the life expectancy, but 2 months seems kinda short. Just mho.

Trips to my local landing, about 5 miles ea. way and I've made the trip to the Lower Keys twice, 750 miles ea. way, and averaged 10 mpg@ 65 mph. This was...

    Gulfstream 232 or Journey 258 ??

    Ditto to so much thats been said about the 232. Mine is a 93 with twin 150 Yamahas on a bracket. I LOVE THIS BOAT. It performs very well with twins and with twin 95 gallon tanks, you can almost anywhere. I could go on and on. This is just my .02 worth. Did I mention I love this boat!!!. Good...

    Dual Binnacle - Yamaha 704 work on suzuki?

    I had the 250 on a 22' Pursuit Cuddy and cruising it would burn 10 gph at 28 mph. That's not quite 3mpg and not too bad. But in the corner, 25 gph at 53-55 mph. Trolling, 2.5-3 gph. Yep, loved that motor and I'm sure you will too.

    Does trolling shorten the life of a 2 stroke enigne??

    I troll on 1 engine at about 1700-1800 rpms. This puts my speed at 5-7 mph. I will run for an hour and switch over to the other engine and at the end of the day, the ride home at 3600-3800-rpms is 20-50 miles so i'm thinking what little build up is gone. And then after clearing the jetties, I'll...

    Dual Binnacle - Yamaha 704 work on suzuki?

    What I have found is that the difference is in the cable ends. I would think that you could get the correct cable end to connect to the 704 control. Check with West Marine. Good Luck & Good Fishing.

    Need help.. what kind of Grady White boat is this?

    I would also consider a Gradydrive/transome bracket & an outboard engine. This will give more room on the inside and may save some cash. Just a thought.

    Capt. Phil Harris (Deadliest Catch) has passed away

    My thoughts and prayers go out to the Harris family and the crew of the Cornelia Marie. He loved what he did and so many of us got pleasure from his hard work. Thanks Capt. Phil and Rest in Peace.

    Highway towing a GW 23ft.

    Just my .02 worth. I have been pulling boats to the Keys, (Big Pine) since 93'. SC does not require trailer tags so when head south, we just put a metal license plate from one of our local boat dealers/tackle shops that we do business with. The plate might say " Joe's Tackle Shop" Charleston SC...

    Any idea of cost and install of GW hardtop on Gulfstream?

    The hardtop is the way to go. It really makes the boat and I love staying dry when it rains. As suggested, I would put the correct top on the boat as far as resale is concerned. But wait a minute, you may not want to let her go!!! Good luck and good fishing.
