    New Boat. "new to us anyway"

    Dale, Congrats on a great boat, I've had mine for going on three years and love it. When I got my boat one of the indicator lights on the charger was broken, previous owner never had it on shore power or I know he would've fixed it, turns out the charger itself was damaged as well and I...

    265 as a bay boat?

    I've run mine in those same waters for the last two years trolling and drifting and love it. Have had many comments from buddies with bigger boats who have been very impressed with my boat, the layout and space, the ride and the 'fishability' both trolling and on the drift. Heavy but easily...

    265 Express stbd side locker ram...

    I checked mine today in case you're still looking, below is what was etched on the ram itself: Ameritool MFG 315\660\2172 GW# 10-675 That first number looks like a phone number and may be your best bet if trying to go OEM. Brett

    trailer for 265 express

    When I bought my 265 this spring it had never been on a trailer and truthfully I wouldn't want to keep it on one, it's a handful to launch and recover by yourself which is what I'd be doing. However, the previous owner had planned to tow the boat from Maryland and do a trip offshore out of...

    265 Transom Gate Bumper

    Thanks guys. Hadn't heard of BOW, will see what I can find there. The Home Depot stops have a bigger diameter and I'd have to cut them down in height but if I can't find something closer to what I have now at least I know I can get something to work from. Brett

    265 Transom Gate Bumper

    The inboard side of my transom gate is missing one of the little rubber bumpers that contact the deck when in the down position. Have come up empty at every place I've looked so far. Anyone have a suggestion on where I could go to get a replacement? Thanks. Brett

    265 transom latch

    It's dark and raining out right now but if I can make it down to the boat tomorrow I'll take a couple pictures, hard to describe but it's a sort of opposing double-ball pressure fitting mounted on the inboard sides of the transom notch with a concave shaped 'probe' on each side of the transom...

    Clamp on Rod Holder Size for 265 Hardtop Frame?

    Ran down to the boat this morning and measured the main pipe on the hardtop frame at 1 and 7/8ths to 1 and 15/16ths depending on where I put the calipers, smaller inboard pipe measured at 1 and 5/16ths. -Brett

    Finally got my Grady

    Dave, I live in St. Inigoes just up the road from Ridge and am presently keeping her berthed at Drury's Marina there in St. Jerome's creek. That channel is a little tight but the location is great and really convenient, may well get a full time slip while they have them available. Actually...

    Finally got my Grady

    After years of searching and waiting to find the right boat, opportunity finally knocked and yesterday I brought home a 2005 265 Express. Maiden voyage was a run of about 50 miles down the Chesapeake Bay in rain, wind and 1-2 confused chop. Ran consistently at 28-30 mph and the boat was...

    265 Express bow diving

    GW Customer Service Response I finally emailed GW Customer Service and today had a nice conversation with Jeff Brown who gave me a little history and cleared up some of the misperceptions I'd been given by the dealer. He did confirm that there was a hull change in that the original design of...

    265 Express bow diving

    Thanks Thanks for the feedback guys. I figured it was a dealer story and am hoping that it was just a misunderstanding, perhaps he was referring to the hull changes and referencing an issue with inappropriate use of the trim tabs as some of you mentioned. Willing to give him the benefit of...
