    Rub rail repair

    How is the rub rail attached? The reason being is when I bought my boat the rub rail on the starboard side is pushed down about a 1/2'', in like a 8'' section,like it got stuck under a dock. Can it be pushed up with a 2x6 off a floor jack? Heat it with a heat gun and hit it with a dead-blow...

    Repower Question

    I would stay with 2 motors. Don't go down in horsepower, you will end up being unhappy. If I were to re-power, I would look at 175hp. E-tecs for my boat, it's rated for 350hp. and the E-tecs are lighter than my 150 Yamahas, any 4 stroke motors would sink my transom lower than it already is! Joe.

    Purchase choices gulfstream

    Your Jeep might tow it but not very safely. You are looking at over 6000lbs. A good 3/4 ton truck is more in order. You have to think about stopping that rig at highway speeds more than pulling away from a stop. Also stiff cross-winds can be dangerous. I pull mine with a diesel Excursion without...

    1992 Gulfstream * 232 G Gulf Stream *

    Your boat is rated for 350 hp. I would look into a pair of 175hp E-Tecs. As 4 strokes are too heavy. If I repower, thats the way I would go. Joe.

    So whats the deal with renaming a boat?

    My wife and I re-named our Grady, found the proper procedures online followed the un-naming and the re-naming instructions toasting to the 4 winds, I felt a little silly sitting in our slip tossing glasses of champagne out in the water, but I was not going to take any chances, plus you get to...

    VHF radio/compass ?

    Ok, so I just bought a new Icom M504. The instructions tell me to keep it 3 feet away from my compass. Well, my electronics box is a lot closer than that, and that's where the old radio is at. Is this something I should worry about? What do you guys think? I guess I could move it to the box...

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

    Base price quote was something like $4650, I added 10 rocket launchers, total ended up around $5680 plus shipping. The only thing thing that soured the whole deal was waiting like 10 months. But I think there was some confusion because of the extra width of the Gulfstream. But all in all the...
