Wow, guess I better look at doing those too.

Nice job on the mods! I especially like the dual lines on the center rigger. I might have to use that Idea.

Here is a pic. I am going to look into seeing if I can replicate them in fiberglass.....

I have a 265 with the aluminum ones. Not an issue for me. The weight is fine. The only time its and issue is when you are installing them. Once mounted they are great. If you are removing them frequently then I can see where you may want carbon fiber ( and the cool look!)

I like the plate you put down in the bilge. Makes for an extra storage area!!

Nice work! That sub floor idea is cool. I may have to do something like that in my 265. More fish storage!!!!

After looking everywhere I could think of i couldn't find a suitable replacement so I broke down and called GW. Well as I thought a replacement deck only is $265! :jaw So I opted to cut 1/4 inch off the back end that had broke and cap with SS angle and bolt back on. Not bad and should get me...

Finally got time today to clean the hull and bilge. Thanks to all the other posts for the recommendations. I used the ol' 50/50 Bleach and water for the bilge and then a product called on/off for the hull. Both worked great!

I think what your looking for is what is called a rod "Hanger" that is what I have in my 265 anyway. This should work. We don't need the pin base part because the but secions sit on teh wooden saddles. Good luck. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lees-Rod-and-Re ... 602wt_1153

Rob, Thanks for that link. That would be nice. I gotta find something soon. :bang

Nobody? Maybe just call grady white i guess. :hmm

My stock swim platform just cracked and I am in the market for a new/better one. Has anyone replaced theirs? What type? If not does anyone know if the maker of these is garelick (sp?). Hope to get it back on for the abalone diving season. Thanks.

I would agree with staying away from the northern routes. 20 should work though. It avoids the mountains but does skirt Dallas

Wish I could help. I too have one that has a whole in it. Thinking about fiberglassing it but not sure. Let us know if you find a solution.

Were getting quite a few 265's out here on the West Coast! Gonna have to get a yearly gathering together. I will trailer down to fish the early salmon with you guys.

Re: 265 Repower (espcially those with 2001 hulls) I have a 2001 with 2006 Yamaha 250's. I have not raised the scuppers and have had no problems. They are lower but it makes little difference esspecially when on the water.

Well, we have been getting into the albicore the last couple months. A buddy of mine thought of this great Idea to build a trophy board like they have in alaska for our catch, so here are half of the tuna we caught last week. Cant display them all but kinda fun.

I would say it's because they come stock with a kicker. I can only think of two reasons for a kicker, backup in case your primary motor fails and second, to troll. In either case twin 225 or 250 outboards are kickers for one-another. Maybe if you needed to troll at 0.5 kts but besides that I...

I have the same boat and bought a 3 axle trailer and havent looked back. Withe this setup you are right on the edge of needing a 3x. If you trailer alot go 3x. I love the ride. Also got E/H brakes, what a dream. Just don't get a brakerite system.

I was sent a new in the box unit! Took about a week and a half. :wow
