Re: Looked at a 265 Express today, any tips? The 200 HP HPDIs are very good motors - You absolutly need clean fuel with these things (I think most outboards) I added clear racor 10 micron filters in place of the blue yamaha spin ons, and change every filter in the spring (Including the High...

Re: Looked at a 265 Express today, any tips? Not all come with the boarding plateform (And mine was not predrilled)- I actually didnt want it as I saw it becoming a potential place to catch the line when fighting a big fish. To board the board I added a removable three rung post ladder and a...

Re: Looked at a 265 Express today, any tips? The hours can be pulled by a yamaha tech - good advice is to have them perform a check on both motors. I have the exact same setup and absolutly love the boat! Every time I start to look for something bigger, and start comparing specs (livewell...

I am not sure why you were not comfortable in the 27'er? I take my 265 Express 110 miles one way offshore - I just pick the days carefully, carry the correct safety equipment, and am not afraid to cancel the trip last minute if the weather changes to less than perfect. With that said, the 305...

The name on my 265 Express replaces the GRADY WHITE lettering - see below

My 265 has the electric conversion head- I would trade it for the manual one in a heart beat! Tim

I just got chills as I read your story and my mind catapolted to when my 2 year old is your sons age - hope to be doing and feeling the same thing! Thanks for sharing Tim

Love the picture of last years rod! Fantastic event! Tim

Not sure if wind is the deciding factor for small craft with NOAA- A small craft is issued here in NewEngland often, and it usually is when the wave height is very close to the wave period - I have seen small crafts issued when seas were 3-5 foot - but the period was 3 seconds- I have also...

I added a protech 3 bank charger - works great -

I was supposed to head out thursday but the forcast changed to non fishable winds/seas! They were out around block last week pretty good - I just wasnt able to find them! Tight lines! TIm

Yup - Backed right up to the beach in front of the National. Tim

I too pulled the screen/filter out and just clean out the facuets once in awhile! I think you can also access it by pulling out the two draws and draw holder assembly. Tim

I prefer Old Harbor far over New Harbor- No marina required - just back up to the beach, throw anchor and you are all set! I spent 5 nights there leading up to the fourth! Brew pub and lots of great places to eat within 90 seconds of walking! My 265 Express is 5th from the right! Tim

I use seatow - I think they are both fine for this area- Sea tow came and grabbed me when on my buddies 46'er last season quickly and efficiently

My 265 did not say "Grady white" on the side like most of them - I put my name there - same dark blue with gold highlights as mentioned above-

Another happy 265 owner here- No real issues with the boat at all - Fish her hard - clean her up - repeat Tim

I would simulate the weight with a 250 load in the intended location - do this at rest and under power- My personal opinion is that it is too much weight to put back there! Tim

I have seen a few 265's with custom helms and flush mounted electronics. The looked pretty nice - Tim

I fought a shark on an 80 during OakBluffs for 7 1/2 hours on stand up gear - it is all in the harness- get a good one and you will have no issues what so ever- Tim
