Yep, I bought VST filter kit and thermostats from them. Lowest price and had them in 2-3 days.

I also am working on refurbing the switch panel. Used newwiremarine.com to get the replacement switch actuators and I thought they turned out well. I did have to replace the freshwater switch and ordered it with a red back light (oops). I guess I will fix that later and get a switch with the...

Parthery - thank you for the GaugeSaver.com recommendation. They worked out great, seems brand spanking new!!

Thanks! We are really excited and can't wait for spring to come. At least it gives me some time to get the boat back close to 100%. I am headed back down Saturday to replace a lot of what we found needed fixing a couple weeks ago. New freshwater pump, new livewell pump, start patching some...

I got the shock from Boatoutfitters.com. This should take you to the right one (I needed the livewell one as well) https://www.boatoutfitters.com/stainless-steel-gas-shock-10-inches We found one for sale local here in VA. It was about 10 miles from our bay house. Worked out nicely and I...

Unfortunately the boat is 1-1/2 hours away and I didn't pop a switch cover off to get a good look. Fortunately, that is a quick job so I can just do it next time I am down to be sure. 06 - yes that is the exact box. The face of the frame is cracked and missing in the top right corner exposing...

Anyone who has popped the rocker switch covers off that can answer this? I am assuming it is just a white indicator light behind the switch actuators?

Tearing into our new 2005 Tournament to try and get everything right before spring. Question #1 - I am getting ready to order all replacement covers for the rocker switches, but I never popped one of the covers off to see if the back light in the switch itself is white or red. I know the...

What 303 product are you all using on the rubrails? I need to do this as well.

Parthery, Thanks for the feedback! I'm going to send them the tach and hope for the best.

We closed the deal on a 225 Tournament yesterday! Scoped the exhaust on the F225 and everything looked surprisingly great, the yamaha tech said it is one of the best he has seen of this vintage, whew!! Now the fun begins and my to do list is already piling up. Beside the 100 hours engine...

Awesome, thanks! We are trying to close the deal on the boat now. The helm really seems well laid out and comfortable for either sitting or standing. A new helm chair with a flip up bolster would really make it nice..... oh the projects you think of with a new to you boat

Thanks Koby. The one we are looking at is the newer style with the head and flip down stern seat so the rod holders on the livewell isn't an option. Eventually the plan would be to put a hardtop on it with rod holders but that would be down the road. Our use is much like yours, but when the...

Two questions for folks with experience on the 225: 1) How comfortable is this model to operate while standing? I know a lot of the DC boats you have to somewhat hunch over to operate while standing. I prefer to do most of my driving in the standing position. 2) has anyone installed extra...

Has to be water in the bracket. Does the boat stay wet slipped for the season?

This would be the first boat that I owned, but I did build a 38' Custom Sportfish with my dad and ran that for years. I am plenty comfortable around boats and am not afraid of work. I definitely would not be expecting to jump in this particular boat and just go fishing. All that said and...

How do those air vents work? It seems to me they would be underwater when at rest. Is there a check valve that keeps them from allowing water in? If I remember correctly when I pulled out the port side storage bin on the transom I saw this vent without anything connected to it internally. How...

Family affair, How is your performance with the OX66? What fuel burn numbers do you get?

Hi all, First post here, I have been lurking for awhile researching. I have always loved the Grady walkaround models and recently went to look at a 2000 248 Voyager with an OX66 225hp. I am trying to get a good feel for the actual sale value of this boat. Structurally it seemed sound. I...
