Picked the motor up yest - 2019 Verado 350. The marina showed me the engine plug where I connect the additional harness (Thank you Seasick for that part #!!) I also ordered VesselView so I can integrate with my Simrad. I am contemplating just using Smartcraft to monitor consumption, but I'm not...

I just ordered from my Grady dealer last week. Was quoted $7/ft. I ordered 6' and with shipping / tax it was $60. Came in today and I'm picking it up tom. Part # 10-0511. Your 12' price sounds pretty incredible. Not a single dealer in within 3hrs of me (FL) stocked it!

I really want the GW logo as a helm pad. Been shocked I can't find one for sale online....guess I'll have to go the custom route as well.

I'm repowering my Chase and had no problem ordering the vinyl bang cap. Part # 10-0511. Was quoted $7/ft from my local dealer. I ordered 6' and with shipping & tax was $60. I ordered Thurs 9/7 and it came in today!

Thanks! I called and he's out for a few days, so sent him an email as instructed

2000 Chase 263 (same hull as 273). I'm replacing an OX66 250 with a Verado 350 (last of the L6...not new v10). I really have no idea where to start on this topic. I know I want a 3 blade and really looking to optimize cruising performance/economy (hoping for 30-35mph). Mercury's prop selection...

Yes, it's a Smart craft harness and instead of using the traditional round Smart craft gauge, I'm hooking to the VesselView adapter that converts it to NMEA2K for the Simrad (Mercury is a supported partner, so they have custom gauge displays, etc that will show on the screens). I'll look into...

2000 Chase 263. I'm upgrading from OX66 with Yamaha gauges to a Verado and I'm using a Simrad GO7 with VesselView for my "gauge". It just dawned on me that since I'm redoing my dash and getting rid of the old round gauges, I won't have a fuel gauge. Briefly researched and I guess companies make...

bump

EDIT: Further research I've found specifically names Marlins and Sailfish (both larger boats than Chase, but not by much), so I'm still curious. If it does have balsa coring, is it structural? How thick is the balsa compared to inner & outer glass? 2000 Chase 263 is my specific boat. Stumbled...

Top speed is 38-40 with half tank and my family onboard (me, wife, 5 kids) on smooth water. Cruise is mid-20s, but it always feels strained....doesn't jump up on plane quickly. Offshore in any waves is definitely more of a chore. I don't really track fuel consumption. I'm still on the fence...

I just listed my 2000 Chase 263 on Boat trader (in NE FL). To be honest, I'm torn between selling / upgrading it, but for now, will test the "selling waters" as I believe it suits me best given our desired use. My boat

I'm at a crossroads of either selling my boat or repowering with newer used motor(s). The latter seems like a lot of money / work and I'm not sure the value will be there if I decide to part ways in the next few yrs (based on prices I see around me and how long the expensive ones sit around)...

I appreciate the reply. I currently have a Chase 263, but also little kids, so there is some appeal to a cabin. Mine also only has a single 250, so twins from the factory wo me hassling to fill holes & rerig would be nice too. I'm weighing my options and nudging my wife for her input. Whatever...

I bought my Chase 263 from a guy that kept it on a lift. I found a 10k trailer locally, but the bunks are not ideally setup (a lot of weight is on smaller front bunks and makes it difficult to get boat on/off). I've suffered with it long enough and want it corrected for this season. The brackets...

I saw this on Boattrader the other day....I assume no trailer? Any concern with transom? Head of any type?

I'm sure we've all toiled with this decision at some point... I currently have a 2000 Chase 263, single OX66 250. If I were to keep it, I'm going to have transom sealed up (supposed to have a fiberglass guy give me a quote soon, but based on some reading in this forum, some considerable $$ for...

I have a Chase with a single 250 OX66. Hopefully I'm going to have the bangplate removed & transom sealed up soon (meeting with fiberglass guy this week for estimate). Hopefully I'll also be swapping to twins (staying 2S tho bc we just completed a large & costly remodel at our house). I would...

Okay. So the aluminum L-channel is what I was referring to. In some pics I've seen (larger 306/330 models), it seems pretty substantial - 1/2" or so thick? Is this tied in at all to the hull sides/stringers or is it simply added in addition to the Greenwood and glassed in? I guess I'm just...

Keep in mind my bangcap is not removed, so is this brace behind any fiberglass or is it easily visible within bilge? I guess the more I think about it, the brace is above this area, so not sure it'd be visible at all unless it angles down and ties in somewhere to stringers?
