    Cannon Electric Downriggers Optimum vs Magnum 10

    I ended up going with a pair of Cannon 10 Magnum STX on my old boat. They will be transferred to my Gulfstream in the spring. They have been reliable for the past 2 years and I haven't had any issues with their function. I do like the auto-retrieve function that stops at the waterline. Pretty...

    Mounting Fish Finder in Electronics Box - Gulfstream

    I guess I won't know till I mount it. I am most interested in the underwater view vs the GPS. The GPS I will primarily use on the older C120 on the dash. For a few years anyways until I've decided how I want to upgrade.

    Thanks! Glad a few others have done this with success! Figure another viewing point for passengers is nice when fishing.

    Mounting Fish Finder in Electronics Box - Gulfstream

    Perfect. I think I know what you mean. Found it in some pics of the boat as I was going through it. (Don't have boat yet)

    Mounting Fish Finder in Electronics Box - Gulfstream

    Couldn't find exactly what I was looking for while searching. Purchased a 232 Gulfstream which has an older model Raymarine C120 display incorporating radar, gps and sounder. I'm not ready to replace and upgrade all of the electronics but I have a Garmin echomap 95sv which I will take from my...

    Gulfstream vs 258 for fishing?

    May be wrong. But I don't think that was ever offered on eurotransom models like the 248/258

    Gulfstream vs 258 for fishing?

    Wahoo. Sorry for my ignorance. What are all the GW's you've owned? NM - I see it now on your list; it wasn't showing up on my phone.

    Gulfstream vs 258 for fishing?

    Yeah maybe just the DC craze. I know when I started getting the bug to upgrade to a grady 2-3years ago all I was looking at was DC's. I'm glad I spent time researching. I am only looking at WA's now. I think it is going to serve my purpose much better!

    Gulfstream vs 258 for fishing?

    I recall you writing similar in a different post. I wonder why they got rid of the 258? Did it just not sell that well compared to the 232? I know I don't see a lot of late model 258's on the market...they seem hard to come by.

    Gulfstream vs 258 for fishing?

    Seems relatively comparable to the 232 w twin 150's then

    Gulfstream vs 258 for fishing?

    Great question; tagged for interest. I am currently in the market for a twin engined 232 or 258. I haven't been on either boat but am considering both for purchase. I think the ride quality as listed above in different seas is something to think about. For where I live I suspect the 258...

    New Guy thinking about buying a Gulfstream

    I can attest to twins moving fast. Looking for the right boat with either 150 or 200's. I won't consider one w a single screw.

    Gulfstream 232 w/ twin 150 F150 TXRD - too many hours?

    I know things are moving fast. It is pretty crazy. I still have my current boat which will stick around till the spring anyhow. I'm likely only going to sell it once I find a 232 that I want. Time will tell if it works out this year or next :D
