Originals were 94 Yamaha 2strokes. Replaced with 21 Mercury 225 V6s.

I don't mind telling. Estimate is $5K plus about 1500.00 for engine removal and replace. Going back in with coosa board instead of wood.

It's been a slow process but engines have been removed and fiberglass guy is starting to remove parts and pieces. I guess the sawsall comes out next.

Getting ready to replace the transom in my '94 27 Sailfish. Yes, it could have something to do with just hanging two new Merc 225's on the back but I believe they just brought the problem to light. 1990 is a long time for a transom to last on a Grady. By all means get it surveyed prior to...

Eventually. I would really think that twin 115's would really be too little HP for that model.

That looks great. Thanks for the info as well.

It's a '94 27 Sailfish

The rebuild your transom club...Noticed the transom cap moving back and forth about and inch last Wednesday while coming in on the ICW. Upon further inspection, it appears the transom is rotten. Just had the boat repowered in May and the service manager at Marshall's Marine in Georgetown, SC...

Just got caught up on the thread. You definitely got this under control. Can't wait to see what happens next. I'm scared to death your reno is going to cost me a bunch of money in the long run. :cool:

Had the pleasure of meeting a fellow GreatGrady member here in Myrtle Beach this past week. Just by coincidence, "Hooked On Grady" (Ken Larsen) booked us for a six hour charter on the 24th. The fishing wasn't great at all but the conversations were awesome. We discussed just about everything...

Here's another...

Can't wait to see them both mounted back there.

So getting around to repowering the Grady with some Mercury 225 Fourstrokes and was wondering what to do with the oil tank filler located on the stern? Any ideas???

Just purchased a pair of Mercury 225's Fourstrokes for my '94 27 sailfish. Pretty much the same hull as yours. They are not installed yet but per Grady White, they are the only 4 strokes on the market that wouldnt sink the scuppers. I'm replacing the original 200 yamaha two strokes.

Not sure if that will do want you need but these folks are a great source for seastar products. They have several premade lengths available. http://boatsteer.com/index.html

Just a FYI, my 27 Sailfish uses a 5800 btu unit that is raw water unit.

Mine loaded with 202 gals fuel, 32 gals. water and trailer = 9400 lbs.

I'm going from memory here...so take it for what it's worth. I believe I ordered 20' for the starboard and 22' for the port. If I can find my old reciept I will verify for you.

Here's my rig.

Does your 96 have the stepped up hull at the transom as the 94 does? If so, you will want to check with Grady to see what weight that boat hold on the stern. Just a FYI...They told me I could not put the Yamaha F200's on the back of mine due to too much weight on the stern. Right now my only...
