Sorry cleating it off

Like everyone else said. Always use holding tank treatment. Lots of options for this. Whenever I do a pump out. I will usually do a freshwater flush then pump it out. My current boat has a freshwater head which makes a big difference in keeping it “fresh” compared to a saltwater head on...

You will still need to go up to the bow to release and attach the safety clip. Additionally you will need to cleat off the anchor line/rode when setting and pulling the anchor. I cannot tell from the picture, Where do you plan on cleating it off?

Probably a second VHF and/or AIS. How many VHF radios are there? if there is 2 then you have your answer.

You can also try Anglers edge marine. its a small fee with no commission. Bob helped me list my 265. Don't worry its a grady it will sell.

The anchor is stored on the pulpit.

You never mentioned conditions and bottom where you anchor which may change things. Go up to the 22 lbs. Delta. Thats What I have on my 305. You have a windless go with as much chain as you can.

If the boat is properly winterized and wrapped. Then you should be fine.

I have had people sit and stand on the lid on my 305. That lid is solid. I assume your gulfstream is similar.

On a 330 I looked at years ago, the rocket launcher was mounted under the hard top with spacers. It looked like a factory rocket launcher just mounted from the bottom side. I remember the owner saying it made it easier to get to the rods.

What did the fiberglass guy recommend after getting the moisture readings? I would remove the drain tubes and have a look. They probably should be replaced at this point anyway.

Do you have power at the fuse panel under the dash?

Go with the hardtop rocket launcher as it will keep the rods up and out of the way. When I bought my boat it didn't come with a hardtop mounted rocket launcher. I actually thought it was the only grady express without one. I ended up ordering one from winterville machine works who makes them...

Windlesses make life so much easier when anchoring. I would never own a cabin boat without one. You have a common boat, there are a lot of pictures out there of them, look where the windless is installed on other boats to give you an idea of the best place to put it. You can also call up a...

I just have 2. They light up great though. The problem is they are directly behind the engines, so with the engines are down a lot of the light gets blocked. I bought the boat with lights already installed that way and just updated the lights.

Go for it. Do it while you can and enjoy. Upkeep and Maintenace is not going to be much different than your current boat.

I have them on my express. They were replacement for the original UW lights which only lasted a few seasons. 5 seasons so far and doing well.

The good thing about the 265 is you have good access to all the pathways to run wires. You just need to unscrew and remove a few panels. You have plenty of room to mount stuff in the helm electronic pod. I had a simrad AP with the pump mounted behind the drawers in the cabin under the...

We use bean bags on the bow for lounging. I also had cushions made for the bow which my wife much prefers. The downside of the bean bags is storage as hey take up a lot of space.

heat gun and a razor blade worked for me. Never replaced the stripe as I prefer the cleaner look.
