I think I'm going to be a guinea pig and repower my gulfstream with the new 300hp V6. Seems like it should be a great match for this boat. The new Command Link system for these new motors comes with a digital flush-mounted screen that gives you all the performance data. My question is what do...

Ditto....

Congrats and wish you the best of luck with her :D

Hey guys, I'm looking into putting underwater lights on my Gulfstream and was wondering if anyone here has experience with this. All the manufacturer's websites say that installation is a breeze but I'm skeptical since drilling is required. I think it'd be a great way to spice up the dock life...

Thx for the info guys.....every winter seems longer than the last :roll: Congrats on the purchase

Hey Bill, just wondering how you like the 350 on the 232. I'm considering buying a newer one with the F350 or repowering my 2000 with the new 300hp V6.

I'm strongly considering repowering my 2000 232 Gulstream with the new 300hp V6. My GW dealer has approved it, saying that the hull/transom can definitely handle the torque. Should be a perfect fit in my opinion......

Also...try OnTheWater.com or pick up one of their magazines from the summer months. I subscribe and they always have good info on all kinds of fishing.

Interesting point Renovator. Is that because the engines don't have to struggle (for lack of a better word) as much? Also, how is the cabin layout? I've seen pictures but those never do justice. Can you truly do an overnight? and can you actually hang out down there and be comfortable? My...

rpark...let's just call it a sailfish thread :D . That was going to be my next question. I have an '09 gmc sierra 1500 extended cab that I was planning on pulling it in and out twice a year with. If that didn't seem like enough I can borrow a Ford F250....

No worries and congrats on the purchase Zebulon 8) ....where in MA are you?

Great info as always guys....Any MPG/GPH figures for the 225s??

I'd like to be able to go 45-50mph if I had to......cruise of pver 30mph would be fine...

I'm considering buying a 282 Sailfish and was wondering if anyone has experience with the different power options....200s, 225s, 250s. My feeling is that a 282 is underpowered with 200s. Also, would I have any trouble trailering it in and out of the water twice a year? I own a gulfstream now.

Beautiful boat. What's the cabin like?

Rhumbline is spot-on. My father and I started tuna fishing this past summer for the first time and it is certainly life-changing. Early in the summer we hooked up and fought a 400 pounder for over an hour and lost it 30-40 feet from the boat. We were hooked to say the least. The couple...

232 I trailered my 2000 gulfstream about an hour and a half through MA without a problem. With the 9'3" beam I was supposed to have a "wide load" permit but I had one of my buddies follow me and didnt have a problem.....plus i doubt any cops even know that rule, nevermind would know that a...

Thanks for the posts guys.....SoutheastFL - the Gulfstream isnt any 23' boat if you aren't aware. It has a 9'3" beam and weighs about 4500lbs w/o an engine so 40-41 mph WOT w/ a 300hp is EXACTLY what you should expect. The 350hp yamaha on a gulfstream tops out at about 50mph. Anyways, my...

I have a 250 Yamaha ox66 that's crappin the bed and have decided to repower my 232 Gulfstream. The grady white/yamaha dealer near me said they would put a 300 yamaha on it....seems like the cheapest and easiest time-wise. Any personal experiences with a 300hp yammy? Any thoughts?

Just curious what you guys think or know........Ballpark price for new twin 150s Yamaha or E-Tec....thanks
