    PROP size yamaha 250 2 stroke

    do you know that the 250s are healthy? do you have compression test numbers? do these have a vst? my vst was constantly overflowing, leading to fuel to continuously leak even if you dont have WOT numbers, was your cruse mph at 3700 rpm the same with both motors? have you run the engines on...

    PROP size yamaha 250 2 stroke

    so, you went from 225 two strokes to 250 two strokes? unless that is v4 to v6 or they are completely different in some other way, they should be nearly identical. what props were on the 225s? what props are on the 250s? what was/is max rpm with both of the above set ups? are you sure the 250s...

    2024 Marlin Trim Tabs

    my GUESS, is that there was a mid-year update to accommodate the SK Ride. we would need to know the build date of each boat. or call grady and ask. also, i have been wrong before and will definitely be wrong again.

    2024 Marlin Trim Tabs

    i think its only a matter of time before trim tabs on new boats are 100% replaced by SK Ride, especially on upper tier boats

    Fuel Tank Size

    if you cant find the sticker on the tank and cant find an answer here, you can call Grady headquarters customer service. they are usually pretty helpful, even with specs on older models

    Electric boat trailer winch

    thats odd. in 35 years of boating, i have never seen a hand winch fail perhaps a good option would be an electric winch that can accept a handle for manual operation

    Electric boat trailer winch

    unless you are physically unable to hand winch, i would stick with that. the simplicity and reliability of a hand winch makes it the clear winner in my book

    New Grady debut at the end of the month. Big, little, or in-between?

    we use our cc primarily for family cruising. two years in and havent fished once yet. me, wife, and two young daughters. we never feel separated as there is no full windshield dividing the front from the back and we can seat all 4 in the back (and another 2 with bean bags), we have enough...

    Trim Tabs for a boat that never had them

    ive never heard of water leaking into the bilge through trim tab screw holes, thats pretty much a non-risk. the risk with a poor installation is water getting inside the transom. pick the style that performs the way you want, install it correctly, and dont worry about it.

    New Grady debut at the end of the month. Big, little, or in-between?

    i have a cc now, but will definitely have a WA or express one day (hopefully in addition to my current boat)

    New Grady debut at the end of the month. Big, little, or in-between?

    ive never liked the dual consoles. the layout feels awkward and looks like a schoolbus with a long isle running down it thats dividing the boat in half

    Advise sought on outboard upgrade

    so, not the same boat, but i have 250s from 2006 on my Chase. obviously not quite as big of a boat, but i really am pleased with the performance of them. they push my boat to over 50 with a full tank and 6 people on board (2 are small kids). at best cruise i can get around 2.5 mpg or so. wot...
