I’m interested in the swim platform, still available?

If you are still interested in a full replacement, check out Well’s Fiberglass on THT- they are making some slick hardtops for all sorts of boats

There was an older Marlin for sale a while back and it had been repowered with twin 425’s Think it was in MD. Have you seen one of those motors in person? There are huge.

I am running 3 blades and get about 14 GPH at 3800, 24ish knots. Looking for some stern lift since everyone is always in the cockpit when running

I have that set up with 3 blades. Looking at 4 blades, did you notice any improvement with the 4 blades?

No worries, did they get a quote on the repack? Thanks

What are you asking for it?

Hey Bill - hope you guys are doing well! Getting ready to sell that awesome Jeep you sold me. Wish I would have known you were selling your Sailfish- someone got a great boat! Was thinking of moving up from my 265, but then my daughter decided to get married! Happy Holidays! Greg

Trailering a 265 is a chore. Really need a 3/4 ton. She’s a plus sized model for sure. Just dragging mine around town for service, gas, etc is a challenge, but doable. Love mine.

Love to find some new labels for my 265, anyone know where to find something similar to the original?

If you’re missing the black metal frame part as well as the glass it makes it a little trickier, the metal piece ( I think it’s called an extrusion) is hard to find. I ended up getting mine from Marine Glass Specialties in FL. He has the OEM GW extrusions. He probably has done a Sailfish before...

The only bad thing I’ve heard about them is the year plus wait! They would be awesome on my 265 Express.

OP- off topic but how do you like those new Merc’s? I hear great things about them ( other than the 53 week lead time currently). Would be a perfect match for my 265 Express.

I am an idiot- thanks for the info. Could not figure out what it was called so my searches where fruitless.

Not even sure what it’s called but the original one left with the window . Got a new window now I need one of these, haven’t been able to find one:

Also- ditch the Yamalube and switch to Penzoil XLF. Burns much cleaner and is cheaper. I get mine at WalMart. Making this switch and using Yamaha Ring free will make a big difference

Lots of info on this topic over on THT. I am with Skunkboat, go ahead and replace the oil filter and inspect pump on tank, if it looks bad they aren’t too expensive to replace. I had a devil of a time getting this issue sorted out on my 01 HPDI’s. Went ahead and replaced remote tank pumps, those...

Personally I’d bite the bullet and get the fuel professionally polished. I bought a 265 that the prior owner hadn’t used the Aux tank in 13 years. Was about 1/2 full ( 130 gal tank). Was about $400.00. USA Fuels did it, I think they are nationwide. To answer your question. I used this stuff and...

I recently had to contact Marine Glass Specialties for a side vent window with the extrusion piece you are referring to. 2001 265. Apparently George is out with some medical issues and Tex is covering. He got right back to me and took care of what I needed. Since it was the second one I have...

Marine Glass Specialties may be able to help, give them a call
