    Pulpit

    Each pulpit is made specifically for the model. I'm in the process of trying to modify a pulpit from a GW Strike to fit my Gulftstream. I priced a new one from the dealer and the complete package was about $1500.

    Mounting Speakers

    When I had my 222 the speakers were located up under the gunnels. It was great in that it protected them from the elements but the downside was it blocks the use of the top under gunnel rod holder. Those rod holders really come in handy for storing gaffs and rods when fighting a fish. I'm...

    Freshwater Shower Cover

    While doing some spring cleaning on the boat today, I noticed that the rubber cover on my transom freshwater washdown is shot. Does anyone know the manufacturer or how to obtain the rubber cap?

    Adventure 208 deck plates - are they Beckson Marine?

    I'm pretty sure they are Beckson deck plates. That's what I used when I replaced them on my 2000 Gulfstream. I agree they are a little steep on the price but if you look on Beckson's website they occassionally sell overstocked and factory seconds at a lower cost.

    Grady White 248

    I almost bought a boat exactly like that 3 years ago. The owner was asking $40000 but told me he would take $37000. I really liked the boat but preferred the huge cockpit of the Gulfstream. I'd imagine that you could probably sell your boat for low $30s. Good luck.

    Cost of 208 Pulpit Setup

    That looks great. I'm planning to add a bow pulpit to my Gulfstream before the upcoming season. How difficult was the installation? Thanks.

    Looking for a good Canvas guy in DE area

    Tim, You might want to try Shorts Marine in Longneck, DE. They have a canvas shop there and from what I've heard they do some really nice work. I have not personally used them but I know someone who had an enclosure made there for his Gulfstream and he was extremely pleased. Shorts Marine has...

    228G Radar Installation

    I went through the same process earlier this year on my Gulfstream. It really is an easy process to snake the cable through the tube from the electronics box to the helm. I first fished a piece of rope through the tube and then taped the cable to the rope and gently pulled it through the...

    22' GW Fisherman Questions

    I had a '99 Fisherman and it was a great boat. Minewas powered by a 225hp. A 200hp may be ok but I would opt for the 225hp. I believe the enclosed head was first available on the 2000 models.

    Kicker question

    I had a Yamaha 9.9 high thrust on the back of my 222. I put it on a safety feature for when I went fishing offshore. I could only get 5.5-6 knots out of the kicker and it was running wide open. I tried to use it trolling a few times and it was fine as long as it was a calm day, any...

    Radar

    I had the Furuno 1621 Mark II on my 222 and it was an overall good unit. The 1623 is the newer version of the 1621. I was able to pick up bouys, boats, and occasional rain storm. I was pleased with unit for what I needed. On my Gulfstream, I installed the Furunon 1715 and this is definately a...

    Canvass Removal

    It's a very simple process as long as the zippers are in good condition. I put either silicone or vasaline on my zippers twice a year to ensure they are free at all times. I'm about to head down to my boat now and remove the canvas as well. Good luck with Earl and let's hope it misses...

    Radar for 228G

    It may fit in your overhead electronics box, it depends on the year of your GW. On my 2000 Gulfstream the 1715 would not fit in the overhead box. I believe the overhead boxes were made larger in 2001. I installed mine and it was a farily easy project. Just make sure you take the boat for a...

    Battery Question

    Thanks for the response. I agree that the ideal situation would be 2 starting and 1 house battery but I think 2 dual purpose batteries may be the best compromise.

    Battery Question

    Hoping to get a little advice here. I'm planning to do some preventive maintance on my boat and I'd like to replace my batteries. I have a 2000 Gulfstream with twin 150 Yamaha SWSII. The current system has dual batteries running through two battery switches. Should I replace the batteries...

    Caulk color???

    Can anyone tell me what color caulk Grady used on a 2000 Gulfstream? I read on here that it was GE II Almond but that color looks too brown to me. Thanks in advance.

    Bolster Cushion Material

    I went through the same process this past winter. I was able to buy the Seaquest Roll'n' Pleat off of Ebay. There is a guy in FL that carries every color and will cut to length. He also carries the matching welting. As far as the SS staples are concerned, I was able to purchase them at Home...

    Striping 2000 Sailfish

    I was able to get it for my 2000 Gulfstream last spring at Beacon Light Marina in Baltimore. I can't remember the cost but they had plenty in stock.
