    Which one? 232Gulfstream -vs- BW23Conquest -vs- Shamrock246

    I would take any of those gradys over the other 2 manf. While they are good boats, the BW will beat you to death in a chop and the deep V on the Shamrock will roll you till you puke on a drift.

    1st Cruise down the ICW

    I have made part of your trip - From Cape May to Annapolis. This is about 130 nm and is an easy trip. The Delaware Bay and the Ches Bay are well marked. The C&D Canal is an absolute breeze. I would try to plan to gas up before you get into the C&D since gas is limited and they rape you on the...

    Removing locks on underseat storage boxes??

    If you are talking about those real small silver keys that look like the old suit case keys.... I think all of these locks are keyed alike. I must have received 20 keys (all alike - 2 keys for each lock) when they delivered my boat. Plus the ones from my 2004 Marlin fit my 2006 33 Express...

    How to permanently mount Edson Steering knob?

    I had the same problem with mine. I used a couple wraps of Rigging Tape and it has held in place for the last 2 years. Don't try to drill the steering wheel.

    Fresh water system leaks?

    Your water pump should not Brrrrrrp unless you are running water. If it does at any other time it is losing pressure which usually means you are leaking water. The anchor locker drains directly overboard. If you take out all the line and chain you should be able to see the drain hole. Make...

    Congratulations. You are going to love it. I guarantee you won't miss the Gulfstream once you spend some time on the water. (OK - you may miss it when you pull up to the gas pumps) :D

    changing fuel filter

    Maybe I'm just lucky (or crazy) but I change my spin on water separator filters at least twice a year and have never filled them with fuel before putting them on. I shut off the gas cocks, spin off the old ones, coat the o-ring gasket on the new ones with oil and spin them on. Then I open the...

    Black on silicone deck sealant

    A little bit of bleach on a rag will take care of the mold. Cheap and easy (Like me) :D Not much you can do with the hooks except try to make sure they are dry before you put them away. I usually just throw the rusted ones away - its not worth the effort to try to clean them up.

    Express 33

    I had the 30 marlin and moved to the 33 Express in 2006. There are a couple nice differences: More room below (the extra 3 feet is all down below) You don't have to drop the table for extra sleeping space The aft berth is huge (I'm 6'-1" and can fully stretch out) The center console is...

    2008 Fuel Usage / Highway Fuel Tax Refund

    Glad that Delaware recognizes that they are wrongly taxing marine fuel and provides a rebate. Here in Maryland we just continue to get screwed!!
