I agree with Bill on resale, but I did replace my fridge last season and was surprised on how much room is in the hole when I had the old fridge out! Good luck! Tim

Not sure were in CT you are, but my boat is in Groton - you are welcome to jump on and measure as needed. Tim

Because it is a boat, moisture builds up due to changes in temps, it is dark and not ventilated. I have never seen fuzzy mold, more of blackish dirt that is easy to wipe off -

Good advice here - the time to learn is not when it is blowing 20 knots, a rain storm coming and two kids and a grumpy wife below deck. In other words just pratice, nice and slow, dont worry if you have to make multiple attemps to get into the slip, abort early in the slip entry process if...

Practice with her in open water to get the hang of the twins - takes things nice and slow - my 265 wont really pivot like a twin inboard, but more walk side to side as needed. By the end of the season you wont even have to think when docking, but you may stumble of this post and say "I love the...

I did something a little different, I added a fourth group 24 to the port side. This accomoplished two things: 1 - leveled the boat during rest correcting a slight starboard list 2 - made this a completely dedicated backup battery. I wired it with an on/off switch in parrallel with the port...

Congrats on the purchase! I too own a 265 and love the boat! Feel free to ask any questions you may have! Tim

I have this exact boat love it! I usually run her between 3800-4200 RPM and that puts cruise at 28 to 32 mph - depending on load. Pretty typical for 1.5 to 1.6 mpg. There are some access panels in the cockpit that can be removed to gain access to clean out the mold. The marine stores sell a...

Jim, You will be able to go far past Montauk with this boat once you become familiar and comfortable with the boat, and aquire the correct safety gear. I am out of Groton and I head our 90 miles past Montauk in my 265 Express. What marina will you be out of? Boats Inc? Tim

My cushions and bolsters are getting new vinyl right now - They are pretty proud of that service! To the tune of $1800! Tim

Wow they have gone up in price! I bought two directly from the dealer maybe 4 years ago for $65 each! Have you called the dealer to confirm pricing? Tim

I am not sure DB and Bill N are seeing the same picture. In the direct center of the splash well there is a plastic insert with two slots and square cutout - I too use this for plyers and a knife when fishing. In your photo I see the top to a hydraulic cylinder that is used to assist with lower...

Congrats! My cabin locks - but when I am running the boat I have the door open and fold down cabin door up - If you have any specific questions just ask! Tim

Same thing happened to me - I suspect someone was trying to hack into our accounts. Tim

I purchased two additional rod holders from Grady (about $50 each) and added a middle gunnel rod holder in my 265 - works great and allows me to troll 10 rods easily - an 11th if I want a way back bird in the rocket launcher. Tim

Another very happy 265 customer here- No problem on the hook - This boat can take more than I can - As far I am concerned this is hands down the best boat in its size for what I use it for - hardcore fishing with some family time and overnighting mixed in. Tim

Actually the one time I heard this alarm I was puzzled at first. We were on my buddies 46' Ocean taking waves hard and pushing threw some rough seas to get out and fish a shark tourny. After an hour an half of hard running, waves over the bow, we started to hear this 1/4 second ring - and it...

Just for referance this is what I used: http://www.defender.com/product.jsp?pat ... &id=744153 Tim

I installed a high water alarm in my 265 Express a few years ago. I put the sensor in the rear bildge, and it will energize a big school bell alarm if I get two inches of water in the bilge. It is wired direct to my spare battery, and I test it at the begin of the season and mid season. I...

Re: Looked at a 265 Express today, any tips? Congrats! fyi - you are buying the most fuel efficient package for that boat! You are going to see 1.5 mile per gallon fully loaded - 1.7 to 1.8 really light - both are cruising around 28mph Tim
