I have a 1995 272. There is a difference in the hull from my 272 and the 282 hulls that I have seen is that my 272 has a step up in the stern that is about 2 foot long with the trim tabs coming off the lower part of the step rather than at the stern. I beleave that the 282 with the full running...

Don't blame it on the Grady. Racoons will bed down anyware safe near there food source. Make sure that any food that is kept onboard or in the near vacinity ( trash cans etc ) are securly closed and locked. Racoons are very good at opening food containers.

I am the owner of a 95 272 Sailfish and was previously the owner of an older 252 Sailfish. They were both purchased as used. My 272 was purchased on Ebay. I couldn't be hapier with the boats I can be reached at kap2@epix.net. Thanks Marty

I have the GW factory spec 13 3/4 X 19 props. The boat does come up on plane but it takes obout 25 to 30 seconds for the bow to come down and the stern to rise. Even on plane the water rolls up to the bottom of the motors.

I have a Sailfish 272 with the step hull configuration and with twin 200 HPDI motors. I am considering putting on a pair of Sting Ray hydrofoils to help lift the stern. I have a lot of water comming up under the motors even on plane and it takes to a lot of time to bring the bow down while...

Tucker. I threw a rod through the block, and needed a new power head on one 200OX motor and I had 1125 hours on the other. At the cost of a new power head and the expectation of having to re-do the other in the near future, I decided to replace both. I found a set of 2 year old 200 HPDI Yamaha...

I went from a pre seav2 252 to a seav2 272 and noticed that I can use the boat much more comfortably in colder weather. I stay dryer. The boat also allows me more speed when hitting the waves head on

I have a 95 272 with the step hull and twin 200 hpdi motors. I couldnt be happier. I replaced the 200 hp OX motors with the hpdi motors. The speed has increased by about 4 mph, the fuel use rate has increased from 1.1 mpg th 1.6 mpg at 4200 rpm, and there is a lot less smoke.The 200 hpdi motors...

I would go by water. Last October I brought mt 272 down from Darian Ct. to Ventnor Nj. It took 13.5 running houres to cover the 285 miles. My son and I came down the outside once we hit the Jersey shore. The trip is one I would do again.

The other reason for a wobbly seat it that there is a hard plastic piece that goes between the the bottom of the seat hole and the aluminum post that holds up the seat. These plastic tubes can dry out and crack. The part is available for around $16.00 at the Grady dealer, as well as the plastic...

I had the same issue on my 252 and my 272. I found that the black rubber window seal/holder has shrunk which caused the corners to pull apart about 1/4". I put in some black silicone caulk in the corners. after it cured I made it look pretty with a single edge razor blade. My problem was solved

I have made sure to run all of last years gas and any gas that I might have gotten in the spring by switching tanks from main to the aux tank, and then filling up the tanks just before putting the boat up for the winter. I put in the specified amount of stabil and ring free making sure to put...

I got a new arm from West Marine then matched it up to an arm that I got for another boat from an auto recycle center ( junk yard)

I had the same problem. I was able to cut the zinc anode off with a hack saw and once it was split I used a hammer and a small chisel to spread and clear the zink away from the bolt shaft. I then used an penetrating spray and visegrips to rock the remanider of the bolt out. On my twin powered I...

I have the 1995 Sailfish 272 with the step hull in the stern with 200 hp HPDI motors. A friend has the 282 with the straight bottom all the way to the stern. Both hulls are SeaV2 design. The step hull is a little faster (1.5 mph) and a little more fuel efficient (.2 gph) than the full length...

You have 2 choices. 1) replace the motor or 2) disconect the always powered 3rd wire on the windshield motor. These motors are always powered with 12 volts and the park position wire is the one that is switched. When these motors get old the park position switch does not work properly. By...

I also leave my batteries in the boat but I keep a small solar trickel charger hooked up to each battery. This keeps the battries fully charged. I got the solar cells at my local NAPA store. They are under $30.00 each. I did put a bead of silicone around the plastic bezel and the glass face...

When I said turn on the water heater on I was refering to the electric power to the heater. I would open a faucet on the hot water to see if any water comes out. It reguires that the pressure pump to be on to get the initial fill up of water in the spring after the water heater was drained for...

It only takes about 30 seconds or less to burn out the electric elements on a water heater if the heating elements are energized with no water around the elements to take the heat away from the element. This goes for any electric water heater in a boat or in a house or business. The...

I concure with the HPDI savings on my 272, and they are lighter so there is no scupper below the water line issues. I was able to find a pair of 200 HPDI engines, one with 0 hours on a complete new Yamaha remanufactured engine and one engine with 121 hours. Including removal of the old OX66...
