I'd like to see a 33' or 37' Marlin. I owned a 30' Marlin, and now a 33' Express...but would trade the Express for a Marlin of similar size.

liinw8, I found no noticeable height difference in the forward birth of the 330 vs the Marlin when the center table and cushion were in place. Also, remember that you are sitting in the V birth area of the Marlin when dining. The 330 has a separate dinette area. GaryM, That's a cool bow...

Hi Gary. We haven't spoken in awhile since Politics on FS was shut down, but if I were still over there, I'd now be grady33wa. :wink: We made the jump from a 2001 Marlin to a 2017 330 Express in December. I loved the Marlin, but with 5 in our family, we outgrew it. The additional seating at...

I don't know the length, but be sure to consider UFLEX MACHZero cables as the replacements. I had them installed on my Marlin, and they're smooth. http://www.westmarine.com/buy/uflex--ma ... P015696214

I'm in Florida. Going with the standard top and curtains. AV2 is nice, but too much $$$. Hope I don't regret it on resale. I had them delete the paint on the hard top stanchions. Paint and powdercoating just don't seem to hold up. At least paint (which Grady uses) can be touched up. This...

Thanks. I was watching a video of the new Seakeeper 5 for smaller boats, and it runs off of DC. They installed it right in the leaning post of a center console, rather high center of gravity I thought. Wonder what the long-term effects will be of all that torque twisting and pulling on the...

Where do they mount a sea keeper on the 330 express?

Exactly. The F250 makes more hp than 250. The F300 makes less hp than 300.

Seabiscuit, When is your boat due to be completed? I have the same boat on order with F350s. Should be complete in the next couple of weeks. I chose the F350s because of the additional torque. Under ideal conditions and a light load, the performance of the F300s was tempting, but when...

Is the deck panel to access the generator now gasketed, with a rain gutter? I have an '01 Marlin, and that deck panel is the boat's only fatal flaw, since the caulking needs to be cut and then recaulked every time there is a need to do maintenance.

I have the same exact setup as you, and the Honda 2000 will run the AC, but not when the generator is in economode. The startup power for the AC compressor slightly exceeds the Honda's capacity, which is OK when the generator is running at full speed. But when it's in economode, the generator...

UPDATE: I looked around some more with a flashlight, and found the fuel filter and the fuel filter housing that goes to the generator heavily corroded. It's too dark to remove and inspect tonight, but I'm about 90% sure that's where the fuel came from. There is no fuel valve shut off to...

(Original post deleted) Problem solved. The fuel water separator that used to supply the generator that I removed had corroded through, allowing fuel to drip out the bottom.

On my Marlin with the 2000i, I cannot run the generator on econo mode if I'm using the A/C. Not enough juice for when the compressor kicks on. Are you able to run the A/C while the generator is in econo mode?

I repowered with Yamaha F250's on my Marlin. Looked at the Suzuki's since my last boat had a the Suzuki DF250, but figured resale would be better with a Grady powered by Yamaha's. Performance-wise, I can't tell a bit a difference between the Suzuki and the Yamaha. The Suzuki had 300 hours...

I have a 2001 Marlin, and the Honda runs the A/C as long as the Honda is not in Econo mode. The Honda doesn't get up to speed quick enough when the A/C compressor kicks on. In other words, running the A/C on the Honda means that the Honda is running at near full throttle. That's fine if...

Why are you replacing it? Corrosion issues? I replaced the generator on my Marlin with another gas generator, and a year and a half later, I'm dealing with corrosion problems again. The FP diesel sits in a protective shroud, and long-term will be cheaper to own and operate. I wish I...
