    Gulfstream with Twin F150s

    Chris, Yeah that answered my question. I'm hanging a pair of F150s on the back of my 2000 Gulfstream. Looking forward to the better fuel economy.

    Thinking about buying a 97 Gulfstream. Need some Insight

    I have a 2000 Gulfstream with twin 150 SWS II. This is a great boat and motor combination. The Gulfstream seems much larger than a 23' boat and has lots of cockpit space. Don't expect the 150 2 strokes to be great on fuel. On a typical offshore trip loaded down with gear, ice, crew, and 2...

    Gulfstream with Twin F150s

    Looking for some feedback from any Gulfstream owners with Yamaha twin F150s. What hole are your engines mounted on? Also, what props is everyone running? Lastly, I'd like to hear what the real world performance numbers look like. What's your average fuel economy with a crew of 3 and full...

    Yamaha Gauges for OX66 Saltwater Series

    Try throwing a post up on THT for wanted gauges. I went through the same thing in search of a fuel management gauge last year. I ended up buying two and just sold the one I didn't need a few months ago. I think I bought the used fuel management gauges for about $125-$150 each. Also,you may...

    The most HP for a 232 Gulfstream

    I think the max hp rating for the boat is 400hp or at least that's what it is for the newer models. I have a 2000 Gulfstream with twin 150s and it seems to be a great match for the boat. Running at 3900-4000rpms I'm cruising around 28mphs. The biggest issue when repowering is going to be...

    Boat selling question

    When I bought my Gulfstream it was in NC and I am in MD. I initially drove down to NC to sea trial and have the boat surveyed. Once the deal was worked out, I sent the seller a certified bank check and he then released the boat and overnighted a bill of sale for me. Everything went smoothly...

    How many lines do you troll?

    I typically troll 9 lines on my Gulfstream. I added extra gunnel rod holders(so now there are a total of six) and I have 2 lee clamp on rod holders mounted off the support legs for the hardtop. I also run my way back lure from the hardtop rod holders. The only problem with having rods in the...

    Fresh Water System Pump

    When I had my Gulfstream surveyed a few years ago prior to purchasing the same thing happened. There is a reset/fuse right under the switch at the helm. If you let the freshwater tank run dry, the fuse will trip so you don't ruin the pump. Hope that is the case in your situation.

    Atlantic 26

    I always thought the Atlantic was a cool looking boat but I have no first hand experience. I knew the guy that used to own the one in the ad, he sold it about 7 or 8 years ago. When he owned it was kept on the upper Chesapeake and maintained with an open checkbook. Seems like a pretty good...

    Trolling spread

    Depending on what you are fishing for you should be able to handle 90% of the fish that you may encounter in the mid-Atlantic area. I used to use Penn 114s exclusively and they handled everything from mahi to tuna. We even fought a 200-250lb bluefin for over 2.5 hours on a 114hlw before we...

    Stereo Installation Wiring Help Please

    Capt Bill, Thanks for the reply. You are correct that the red is for the power and the yellow holds the memory. So just to make sure I understand you correctly, I can crimp the red and yellow wires together and then plug them into either the fuse panel or accessory switch? If I go the route...

    Stereo Installation Wiring Help Please

    I am trying to install a Sony stereo on my Gulfstream and I can't seem to figure out the wiring. This "should" be a simple install as I am only utilizing the head unit and 2 speakers. Based upon the wiring diagram I should only have to utilize 3 wires (black, red, and yellow). The black...

    Cracked pipe on hardtop tower

    I had the same thing happen on my Gulfstream and when the welder came over to look at the repair he noticed that the problem was that most of the main supports were lose. We went through the entire boat and tightened everything up. The welder added two extra braces and protectives sleeves, so...

    Gulfstream Stereo Speaker Placement

    I had the box speakers mounted under the gunnels on my previous 222. It worked great except I ended up losing a under gunnel rod holder. I think I am going to try my original plan and mount the 6.5" speakers where the deck plates are on either side of the fish boxes. Hopefully, I can get this...

    Gulfstream Stereo Speaker Placement

    I'm adding a stereo to my Gulfstream in the next few weeks but I'm having problems deciding where to mount the speakers. If I remove the deck plates that are on either side of the fish boxes, I can fabricate a mount out of starboard and add a pair of 6.5" speakers . Has anyone every done this...
