    Transom thru hole

    The Sea Sense 2 7/8" white plastic and rubber scupper ones fit perfectly. Got em on Amazon.

    Copper Steering Lines

    I'd change any plastic ones (if you have them on the motor end) but would leave the other until I had an issue. Just my 2 pennies.

    Air conditioning a dual console

    I'm sure it can be done in the helm area, but to be honest I think that isn't rational on several levels. The best for an enclosed area is a small AC unit. You can either box one in or if there is space behind a wall you might fit it in. You'll need airflow and return space. I'd probably be...

    Fish box insulation (306 canyon)

    Sure, you can do it but it will help slightly and will probably look like .... and not stand the test of time. The seal is and how many times you are in and out of it are the biggest factors. The spray insulation is relatively thin as well. I'd also use block ice vs crushed ice. I use water...

    Lewmar Hatch Express 265

    yea, it's a Bowmar as stated and a standard size. Measure the inside and outside frame and go to WM with pics and measurements. They can match it up for you.

    Wiring in GW 235 - neat or tangled?

    You'd think there would have been a serious improvement project in this area, but just like the transom seams - nope.

    Gunwale / Rear box height - Marlin

    IDK if this really requires a precise measurement requirement. The aft fishbox cover is at the same height as the gunnel height. I have a Magma table that is about 8 inches higher than the gunnel. I've had kids to adults filet fish and in 25 years of boating on a 282 and a 300 nobody has ever...

    Cushions for my 22 seafarer

    Bldg 21 did work for several GW dealers in the past. I've used them as well. Quality work.

    Moving 330 from wet slip to dry outdoor rack

    In addition to a dehumidifier, you can use a small resistive heater/air dryer (Westmarine sells one) with fan would help. Some starbright moisture packets work well too.

    I'd check the battery switches.

    8 original hours on 2008 GW and Yamaha 200 questions

    Motor would be a big focus area. I'd agree to get a tech to look at the boat. If it cranks, get her going and see how she runs in a barrel or with muffs. If you do the deal, get all the maintenance stuff done over several years done. Have the tech go through it fully and change whatever else...

    Fish box insulation (306 canyon)

    Spray insulation on sides and bottom. Maybe 1.5" thick. Access to add more may be problematic and most likely the top is where the greatest loss is. I would test first and see how it performs. Likely best to have a RTIC, YETTI or other large cooler.

    360 Grady Express Powered with twin 350's

    I think that it's a tad underpowered. You can put that package on a 30' hull today.

    Does the 300 model have a drain in the anchor locker

    They mostly drain into the bilge is my experience.

    2020 Marlin 300

    The boat really has not changed much at all over the years. - (2) rod holders on the bow LHS of the cabin. Newer have (4) (2) on both sides. Prob 7' spinners max can fit there. - (6) mid birth rod holders. Best for heavier shorter boat rods. Ideal for 5' 6" or so. Will fit larger but it is...

    Battery Conditioner Recommendations?

    For a small AC trickle charger I had a CTEK conditioner. Small unit but it lasted only a year. Just tried a small Battery Tender model after a recommendation from a guy at work will see how it lasts.
