    Sea deck

    Got mine done last season and I love it. I didn’t go full tits covering every square inch. Went with the lazered pattern so it looks a bit more grainy. I also swapped out my inspection covers and frames to match. It’s so easy on the feet and knees. My nonskid was in good shape but what a...

    2004 Yamaha F225 exhaust problems

    Around here it’s 3k-4K to have the exhausts done. That’s what I paid for my 08 Robalo with 200’s in 2019. Of course the bill was more like 10k because “hey, while we are in there….” This makes me call BS the whole “it’s only certain years that corrode i also call BS on Yamaha upgrading the...

    300 Marlin - Gen or not to Gen?

    Before you try to make a portable gas genny permanently installed, look into LIPO batteries and inverter. If you don’t have a gen or need to replace the one you so have- it’s going to be 15-20k if you are writing checks. Those diesel Fischers are at least in the 10k neighborhood just to buy...

    265 Grady Express Helm Seat

    when you say replace, do you mean simply getting another stock ladder back helm seat or are you looking to go with a different kind of seat? I swapped out the factory seat on my 330 with a highback seat from I swapped out the factory seat in my 330 for a Springfield Royal from west marine. A...

    330 Express Tackle Storage

    Hi all, I have a 2004 330 Express. There is a storage compartment on the starboard side as you walk up to the helm area of the cockpit. Its molded for drawers which I assume are meant for tackle storage. Mine are missing. Does anyone have a part number for drawers that will fit in here...

    That settles it... it's no longer an uncovered area or blank spot- it shall be heretofore referred to as "Teeth!" :)

    ‘04 330 EXPRESS WRAP

    I think it would look odd if I did color that section in. Every single newer 330 express with a colored hull I've seen has that section left white, bottom paint or no bottom paint. as for the boot stripe, my brotherinlaw agrees with you and is trying to talk me into it... he says to go with a...

    ‘04 330 EXPRESS WRAP

    I couldn’t find them in stainless at all. Now that you posted about the Grady price for them, I’m glad I didn’t! Jesus ! 600 bucks? I’m not a cheap F but come on! lol. I just got done painting mine with chrome paint and it’s acceptable from 5 feet away. They make them in stainless for other...

    ‘04 330 EXPRESS WRAP

    When I picked the color off the samples, I thought it was going to be lighter. I'm calling it a happy accident at this point.

    ‘04 330 EXPRESS WRAP

    I don't think it's a region/boat lift thing. Grady White does it this way on factory gelcoat or painted hulls that I looked at before I embarked on this project. New 330's with colored hulls leave that spot white/off white. It's done both ways depending on manufacturer from what I can tell...

    ‘04 330 EXPRESS WRAP

    Good question. Besides the adhesive that comes on the wrap, they apply an additional sealer on all the edges- the entire water line and the seam at the bow. I still have to put a bead of silicone under where it butts up against the rub rail. The installer says he has done over 40 boats and...

    ‘04 330 EXPRESS WRAP

    Spent an entire day removing stripes, lettering , etc. Not many colors available “due to Covid” which I’m getting tired of. Anyway, here it is. Avery Dennison matte metallic gunmetal. I still have to put in new vents and lettering. I also found the rear splashwell scuppers in stainless. The...
