    1984 24ft tournament

    Given the weight of the boat and what you had on there before for power i would think a 4S 250 would feel a little faster for sure but the HPDI would def add some punch to the holeshot. i was dealing with the same brain teaser as well and opted to go with a 2S Etec 300 at a price i couldnt turn...

    REPOWER: Time for new outboards???? Need advice

    Just those changes alone have helped me to shave off about 600#'s in the stern of the boat.

    REPOWER: Time for new outboards???? Need advice

    I have an 86 Sailfish 255 and originally had twin 175 Johnson VRO's on the back. with the aux tank empty and all of the weight forward, main tank full and water tank i was still having problems with freeboard at the transom. Have you checked the condition of the transom as that was where i was...

    House Battery install 255 Sailfish

    wondering if anyone on here has rigged up a house battery system for an older grady white sailfish 255. i only have a dual battery set up right now for the engine and am wondering where and how anyone else has done it. I was thinking of installing them under the passenger seat in the cockpit...

    1984 24ft tournament

    I have a 25 sailfish and regularly take it out into the sound there. handles the confused chop and ocean swell real well. you will be happy with it, have yet to be in conditions where i thought the boat was overwhelmed.

    1984 24ft tournament

    given that you had sea drives on the back you may actually end up floating higher at the transom because of the lighter materials. Are you planning to go with a single or a twin set up? if you are concerned with weight and attitude of the boat you can always add floatation inside the brackets to...

    1984 24ft tournament

    Given how the boat is set up now it would require some modifications to the aft deck. you will also have to glass in a set of stringers for the engine to mount to unless you plan to modify the stringers that are there. I just had the transom done on my sailfish and it does sting a little price...
