does the can have another sticker on it? if so, take it off and see if it floats in a cup of fuel (make sure to poke it under and swirl it). if it floats, as much as id hate to, i would probably just leave it. if it sinks, i might look into trying to fish it out so it doesnt block a pick up tube.

so, just out of curiosity, what it this thread used for? is the expectation that someone will search through 22 pages to see what someones first name is? most of us have our boat info in our signatures and our username is on every post...

given that the marlins werent rated for 600, id doubt the sailfish was

making too much of it? some people actually enjoy understanding hull design

i can get on board with this. the rounded bottom could prevent slicing too deep which may limit shooting back out of the water because of going too deep in

why? you say that a round keel will cut through a wave better than a sharp keel and give a better ride? can you explain that?

my concern with the anti-ventilation plate mount would be bubbles. if that motor is running, it will be pushing bubbles through the exhaust and block your view. even if not running that motor, when trolling, you get a lot of turbulent swirling of water with bubbles right behind the boat i...

have you been on one? if not, i would suggest going on one as thats the only way you will know

are you trying to record what you see live? my gopro is older (i forget which model) and doesnt have a viewing screen on it, but it does connect to my phone and i can see live video through my phone. that being said, once i start recording, the live view is not available . you might not be...

the cockpit of the 255 looks significantly bigger. images pulled from GW website

ill do it if the op wants to spend some of his unlimited budget on my boat, haha

you likely need 10 posts before you can post a picture

i think his point was that your post started off with what seemed like concern for price and alternative cheaper options. if the OP actually has an unlimited budget, why would he "downgrade" for cost reasons? either way, seems like the OP hasnt really looked at this thready anyway...

the 255 has a hull that has a centerline length thats 14 inches longer (23'7" for the 235 vs 24'9" for the 255). i dont really count swim platforms (or pulpits) when comparing the size of a boat unless its in the context of fitting into a slip. even then, swim platforms rarely extend past the...

almost no one ever says "i wish i got the smaller boat"

yes, they do hurt when you use them incorrectly. just like many other things. doesnt mean that its not good to have them on a boat

could be that the outboard on a bracket acted as a rudder farther back, essentially stabilizing some of the speed induced yaw

if you dont mind spending the money, i would get them. when retracted, there is no drawback. you can use as needed. at this point, i would probably at least get electric tabs with a switch that has led position indicators. if you have some $$$$ to burn, get Seakeeper Ride system (not the gyro)

what do you plan to do with the boat? will you use it at night? are you using radar for navigation, weather, or birds? how important is music to you? in todays market, its very possible to put $40k+ in electronics on a boat that size. flir and ultra low light cameras are what you want for...

good video. i would like to get a bit more detail about the statement that the rounder keep makes for a softer ride. the part about reducing bow steer makes perfect sense, but not so much about the softer ride
