    265 rear bench seat options/ideas

    Skunk. The legs support the gate from falling forward so I don’t need to do anything more to the lock. I left it original. I used the starboard backer and thru bolts on both sides of the gate to re-enforce the wall.

    2000 Gulfstream with 2005 F225 Yamaha prop recommendation for fuel economy

    I run a pair of Revolution 4 blades 15 1/4 x 17 on my Express 265 w/ F225’s. They are so so much better than the 3 blades. Fuel economy is minimal was 1.6, now 1.8 miles/gal. But the hole shot and midrange is beautiful and boat is 3 miles faster top end!

    Repower 265 Express

    The 2004 F225’s are heavier than 4.2 F300. You have the 2003 hull, which made for the 4 stroke. Why not hang couple of F250 - F300’s as they are still lighter than what you have now.

    Took these pictures 6/24 Hood Canal, Wa. The owner forgot the transom’s plug after dropping her off the night before to get ready for a shrimping trip. A reminder to all to plug before towing, don’t wait until you get to the dock.

    No power

    Agree, she definitely under power with 7 people and all the weight in the cockpit or stern. You will never get her on plane. Shift people to the bow to get the boat on plane before redistribute the weight.

    265 Express Engine Options

    In the Seattle area. Suzuki isn’t economically option anymore. My last quote for Zuki DF300 was $24k a piece, so it’s very comparable to 250hp Yamaha and Honda. Take your pick.
