    Look at my previous thread about doing mine 05 and my dads 07. Yes have to pull motors. Then transom will last forever. Grady’s weak spot.

    Considering a 282 Sailfish vs a Marlin 300, ideas?

    Very nice and jealous lol. 250 with the variable timing is the right power for that boat. I’m down in tuckerton maybe I’ll see you out there. Also I highly advise this winter sealing under the bang plate transom cap.

But once the waves get bigger they fall off plane and just before going off plane the beat u up hitting in middle of boat not in the deep entry of the bow. In calm conditions with the tabs down I can get my 226...
