I had the cockpit curtains redone last year and has the shop make the straps out of the navy blue material the curtain borders were made from. Works great an is a no scratch on the plastic windows

First time is the toughest - takes a while to find the righangle to hit the screw hit. Wiggle the screw driver around and you will eventually find it. I found mine were tight enough on the clips so I skipped the screws reinstalling - have not had any issues in 5 years. Makes it easy to clean...

By the looks of that transom, that boat should never have been on the water with cracks of that size.

There was a diesel powered on in my marina a few years ago. The owner constantly had issues with mechanical issues. He ended up selling to a diesel tech guy in Maine.

="Peterb21, post: 249079, member: 29037"] I’m curious why you had to repower? How many hours did you have on the 225s? The 04 f225 had about 900 hours on them - they were great engines and never had one issue. I routinely Yamaha exhaust had the engines scoped for the exhaust corrosion and...

I have an 04 282 now powered with F250's . The original engines were F225. Gas mileage is pretty close between the new and the old - 1.25 to 1.6 on an ideal day

yup - it is just a refund of an overcharge!

As a temporary fix a got some aluminum flashing and siliconed it over the existing cap - did the job for a few yean before a permanent repair

I went from Seaifarer to Gulfstream to a Sailfish. The Seafarer was a non SeaV@ hull so the switch to SeaV2 Hull Gulfstream was even more dramatic with improved comfort and handling. The switch from Gulfstream to Saiifish was pretty dramatic to bc of going from single engine power to twins. You...

could never understand how scammers make a living cruising web sites. Are there enough people that would fall for these scam? I would think it would be easier to get a job than cruising web sites looking for scamees. Buyer Beware!

Nice job - totally agree with the existing opening being too small. If you are lean enough to squeeze into the opening be prepared to come covered in battle wounds from the raw fiberglass edges of the opening. You would thing given all the mechanicals in that hole GW would have made a decent...

I try o keep circulation moving through open windows and hatch along with constant use of a fan. During the winter storage absorption bags are great

Many new boats have some imperfections that once identified are taken care of by then dealer. Have not even heard of many issues that needed to be elevated to GW. Have you tried to elevate the issue with GW management? May be worth a shot.

If you are wondering how to get to the screws, the dome light cover pries off. Its tricky but a small flat head can do the job.

Love the sleek look of the new digital control! Good luck with the upgrade. One big mistake I made when i upgraded to 4.2L engines, I did not install a new transom cap when the old engines off.

/i recently saw the new 21 foot model at a dealer and the price was 165K. 190 seems reasonable but fair is a different discussion.

Congrats, looks to be in great shape!

i have a 282 Sailfish and have always liked the ride in most conditions. A friend recently purchased a Marlin and I had a chance to go for a cruise last weekend - There is a big difference between the SF and Marlin. Overall the Marlin is a much heavier boat and the wider beam adds to stability...

I Have always filled mine - I had heard it keeps moisture / condensation out of the tank. I know many that winterize with low levels of fuel and none of us have had any fuel issues. Most years the price of gas is higher than the last and it save me a few bucks and I do't get socked with a huge...

Try Colot Rite for paint. They are very helpful and know Yamaha paint colors. I got some last year for a scratch on one of my 2017 Yamaha and it was a perfect match.
