gtbb Great to be back! Great job...again. Now I know what cold turkey withdrawal feels like!

How about 'II' (sequential) to avoid any superstitions?

Unfortunately, the pumps don't really give any warning when they are about to go. When mine failed, it worked on Tues. & was dead on Wed. Touch the leads directly to the battery, if it spins, you've got a wiring/fuse problem.

I know the 23' Gulfstream has a 9'3" beam but it will take twins, is an all around awesome boat and if you get pulled over for being 9" over the max the cop is having a REALLY slow day.

The main thing you'll notice w/ a four bladed is a reduction in bow rise. It will compromise your top end, though. I would not recommend a 4 bladed for an Adventure. 3 bladed stainless-unless you do a lot of towing, tubing, skiing.

I would start w/ a metal primer and then use Tri-lux 33 for the anti-fouling. If you use a copper based paint it will eventually pit. [/img]

same issue a couple years ago. Buzzer went off trolling, idling, when at low RPM's. I am confident it's the poppet valve. Easy, cheap fix.

Before you go out for a ride, I strongly recommend at least putting the engine in a barrel or giving it a good in-gear test when it is on the trailer at the ramp. By putting the muffs on, you will cool the block but you don't create any back pressure on it. Basically, it will run fine all day...

Here, Here! Thanks Jeff. Great job, great site, GREAT GRADY!!! To quote Judge Smeals, "top notch, top notch!"

I remember seeing a couple Gradys out there. Got nasty fast, huh? BTW, love the dog bowl in the pic w/ the flip-flops! Just chillin' with my buddy! Is that on Brown's bank?

Green habah? I'll look for you OTW.

We left around 3:30 hoping to get over, hook up and get back before the "bad" weather set in. Wrong. We saw 1 boat hook-up, a Sea Swirl w/ an E-TEC on the back. We cut our losses and bailed. BTW, where are you out of?

Guess I should have gone out Sat instead of Sun! Got the s**t banged out of us Sun. SNOTTY S.W. corner?

The 2 most important variables which effect pitch & roll is beam and deadrise. A dramatic deadrise will roll vs. a flat boat which is stable. Even a few degrees will make a difference. The third, obviously, is weight distribution.

I have a 228 w/ 250 SWS II on a bracket and a fresh water wash down-lots of weight aft. I actually switched from the 9x12's to the M-120's with no drops/ changes in performance. They work great w/ almost instant response.

grog beat me to it-look under the dash at the wiring.

At the helm, there is a little black screw cap. SLOWLY add fluid turning the wheel SLOWLY. You're basically topping off the fluid here.

Everglades makes a CC w/ an enclosed helm but it's offensively expensive. 30' express would be a great compromise b/t the two.

have you checked your hydraulic fluid level? Start Cheap!
