I agree that price seems to be high for what you have stated you want done. You should probably get several more written estimates before committing to any one place. Be sure they spell out exactly what is/is not included in work, so they don't try to bang you once everything is apart. I'm so...

Fishbust, wow, that is just amazing! I wonder if I'll be able to replace the sliders and gaskets on cabin window while leaving glass in frame. Guess I better call Marine Specialty and get some info. I guess you are pretty familiar with Moriches inlet! Very tricky at times! We used to run way...

That's amazing, but I never doubt anything odd I find on some of these boats. I've never heard that before, but if I remember I'll call this Marine Specialty place and see if I can get some info. I went to their website and saw that they sell complete sliding glass assemblys. Seeing that I got...

I am no expert, but it seems very odd to me that a sliding window assembly would be made where the glass cannot be replaced. Are you certain of that statement? Although my glass is fine on my sliding glass cabin windows, the soft parts are all cracking. Below is the response I received from...

I am currently getting ready to do the same on a '89 offshore model. I contacted this company from advice here, http://marineglassspecialties.com/?page_id=25 , and they told me they have all parts to redo our Grady windows.

I've owned two notched opening Gradys, and two closed transom ones, and have never ever had a problem with water entering into cockpit area on notched opening ones. I have had water come into splash area and up to closed hinged splashwell door. If you have the splashwell door down you may get a...

I raised the transom height 3" on my 22' Seafarer when I rebuilt the transom. here is a link to project. http://forums.bateau2.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=19949 The first 3-4 pages deals with most of the work. I'll tell you another thing too Jason, about which style boat is safer offshore. Years...

Nice looking rig! Good luck and fair seas!

I'm getting ready to reseal all my cabin windows also. I checked previous threads and found Marine Glass Specialties may have the gaskets and seals for our boat windows. They are in Odessa, Fl.

You should see similar performance, and a little more weight on the transom. Will be quieter, less fumes, and more user friendly. I think Yamaha has a new 200hp 4cyld 4str engine, does Merc also have the same, or is their 200hp 4str a 6cyld? If a 4 cyld, weight should be similar to the 150hp...

Congratulations, and good luck with your first boat! :welcome

Running those numbers, Curmudeon and Wahoo are probably correct in stating something else is most likely going on other than engine height.

You need to read what you are writing. "Rule of thumb" does mean "an initial mounting point" as you state, AND the first place you would look when having porpoising problems, and is not a moot point. What in OPs statement tells you that this "rule of thumb" has been checked to be OK? Just...

Where is the cavitation plate in relation to hull bottom directly in front of it? "Rule of thumb" is cav plate even - 1/2" higher if mounted directly on transom, and up 1" for every 1' back from transom if mounted on bracket. If you are not close to these measurements you should probably try to...

Only way to find out is to go through your electric system(s). Could be as little as loose connection or a short somewhere to a bad starter motor.

It's a toss-up, The 250 would probably be a better fit for your 24 Offshore, especially loaded heavy, or very rough seas, etc. The 225 should perform fine though too, and perhaps not be as thirsty, although it will most likely have to run higher rpms for similar to 250 performance. I too would...

Most of the models have cabin cushions that have removable covers that can be removed and cleaned. not sure about yours, but if they are otherwise in good shape maybe try to salvage them.

I just finished recoring cockpit fuel tank cover on my 24 Offshore. I've done this on three of my Gradys now. What I do is: 1. Take a dremel or cut-off saw and cut fiberglass just inside lip of underneath fiberglass covering. 2. set circular saw and cut this fiberglass covering into manageable...

I would imagine you would have to rough up the surface a bit for epoxy to be able to grip.
