10% subject to seatrial and survey is standard when dealing with a broker. Many deals go bad at the seatrial and the deposit is returned. As long as the boat is real and you have seen it and you know the broker represents the seller you should be fine.

Assuming the 01 is in good condition, I would say that 49k is a really good price. I happen to think that 200 hpdis are the best 2 strokes ever made. You could offer 40k and if he meets you half way at 45 I think you will have a great boat with the right power at a huge savings compared to new...

This is a t Tices' shoal in Barnegat Bay NJ. A great place to take the kids. There were about 150 boats there on Sunday complete with the hotdog barge and a water taxi taking people to and from their boats for $1 a person. A great time was had by all!

In order to access my pumps and filters and oil tanks, etc.. I have to work through a small hatch that was added by the previous owner in the rear deck panel that sits just forward of my transom gate. If I need to really work down there...like I do now because of an ethanol problem and frequent...

I have a fuse panel for my dash mounted under my helm. It holds those glass fuses and I would like to upgrade it. West Marine has a Blue Seas one for $89. Has anyone made this change and can recommend the best options. I have my electronics wired to this fuse panel via the acc switch and I...

? I did the opposite. My tanks were 7/8 empty--about 5 gallons in the aux tank and about 15 gallons in the main. The fuel has ethanol. I treated both tanks with stabilizer and ran the treated fuel through the engines (optimaxes). The boat has been sitting for 4 months now, with another month to...

Concrats on a great boat. But just to clarify, it is likely you will see around 1.4 to 1.5 mpg. Forget about 2 mpg. Those moters are some of the most powerful and reliable outboards ever made, but they are not fuel effecient. Keep in mind that real world 2.0 mpg or better is a difficult standard...

What camera do you have? Great pic!

I replaced mine back in June. You should be able to get them out if they are old and brittle like mine were. I basically chiseled them out with a screwdriver. You can find new ones at the local marine supply store. The hard part is finding the flange tool. But once you find that the job is easy...

Grog, my boat is in Forked River, about 2 miles from Tices :) . Having had in deck fish boxes and now the above deck on my 255 I prefer the above deck. The in deck ones can have draining issues, macerator pumps that can fail, and collect rain water.

Well, I just had my last trip for the season and it was a good one. Stripers and blues and a beautiful day on the Atlantic. The next six months are going to go very slowly for sure. Anyway, for those of you out there who may be interested here are my impressions of this boat after one...

In a following sea you want the bow up high. I would not use any tabs. Doing so could result in burying the bow into the base of a wave. I have done this and it is not fun. Head sea, use the tabs to get the bow down and take advantage of the sharp entry.

... I have 2 starting and one house. I am definitely changing all three batts, the question is how to handle the two batt switches so this can't happen again and what type of batts to get being that I have the original charger installed already...

Guys thanks for all the advice...now I am more confused than ever. Here is the whole story...I have two switches both set to "both". Obviously mistake number 1. My shore power cord pulled out of the socket last week during a storm and I believe a switch inadvertantly left on at the helm (fuel...

I just had all three of my batteries fail while offshore and I am looking to replace them. Does anybody know if the charger that Grady installed back in 1993 will work with the new AGM batteries? Also I am trying to figure out my electrical system overall. I have two 1 both 2 switches and...

> Whether or not it makes a big difference in terms of ride quality, I don't think is the issue. I can tell you it makes a huge difference in the market for these boats. That's why my advice would be to not repower one of these pre-seav2 hulls unless I was planning to keep it for many, many...

dont repower Having just bought a 1993 Sailfish I would not repower a pre seav2 hull. In my opinion, unless you plan on keeping the boat for a LONG time, it is throwing good money after bad. There just is a big price difference between pre seav2 hulls and post, and the post seav2s are excellent...

OK, in my manual it explains how to flush the head by pulling the lever a few times until all the water is gone and also how to get clean water into the bowl. This works fine. But there is also a lever under the bowl and a button behind the bowl with instructions that say something like "to...

Louville I visited Louisville, for the first time in June and can say that I loved the city. I was there working for a week and between the Louisville Bats stadium and the museums and of course 4th street, I can say you have a great little city. And it has Gradys too!
