My needs are a little different. We don't sailfish or use a sea anchor. While trolling we have never really needed to go to the bow. If drifting and using the outriggers they are usually kept straight back so you could theoretically walk around the halyard.

I have an express and go to the bow often. When the outriggers are not deployed the halyards are attached to the the rocket launcher on the hardtop and are completely out of the way. When the outriggers are deployed the halyards drop down and the bungee cord pully system is attached to the...

My hardtop mounted rigger halyards are attached to the rocket launcher when running and not in use. They stay out of the way this way. When deployed the attach low down on the hardtop leg.

You may need to search a little for it or contact him directly, but another member EPPE put a hinge on that plate for better bilge access in a 265 a LONG time ago(10+ years).

It looks Similar to the ones n the cabin which you should be able to pry out.

Find a local shop. Get a couple of quotes. This Should be a fairly easy job. I have found with upholstery on boats, you get what you pay for.

Have the boat surveyed. The hull is approaching 25 years old. At that age you are at the expected life span of things like fuel tanks, fuel lines and hoses including scupper hoses. As far as the engine goes 1000hrs if maintained is nothing for these engines. If service records are...

I have a fusion stereo on my boat with a wired remote on the dash. Best stereo I have had on any of the boats I have owned.
