    Macerator location on 01 sailfish 282

    When you are done in there, get some Nautical One Extreme Mildew Remover and liberally spray everything (assuming plug is out and you have it pitched to drain out) and wash it down well with a hose. The area will clean up nice and all mildew will be gone.

    Saw the new model at the show today. $900K show price. Overall a very nice boat. Cabin is a big step up and aft birth area could sleep 3 if needed pretty comfortably. Microwave hidden in a cabinet which gave a clean look. Plenty of room at the helm for the large electronics. I'd say the...

    Smaller boats I get it. All are tradeoffs. In a big boat, I think you need to have a design that isn't overly cramped in the helm. I'm sure it doesn't matter much in a 35' boat if center or starboard helm. The 33 is just too darn tight just like the 282 was IMHO.

    Beast of Burden - $255,000. ! One owner 330 Express in great condition!

    Nice rig. Take the cabin cushions off and wrap the cushions in rolled dacron. That will tighten then up so they fit like a drum skin!

    Replacing Faux Wood Cockpit Trim

    I'd replace them just because they scream 1970. If the guy knows what he is doing, it really shouldn't be an issue. Far better than wood and the associated maintenance.

    Battery replacement on Sailfish 282

    I'd keep it stock and install (4) Group 27 batteries. Stagger them so you do one set every or every other year.

    306 canyon - do engines touch water when raised?

    Didn't solve yet to my knowledge. Going to the boat show this weekend and will check.. Just a bigger stainless bang plate to sell it. As we used to say in the electronics biz, sell your issues as a feature..... If I ever buy a new one, I will require the factory to do it correctly before the...

    Sound System Install 1994 232 Gulfstream

    Sounds ok from here. I did the same with a Fusion Head to a pairs of 8" speakers in the helm, a smaller pair in the cabin (can't remember size) and the the Fusion 2 channel amp (just using 1 channel) for two additional 8" speakers that I cut in to the cockpit. Was going to do a sub but don't...

    306 canyon - do engines touch water when raised?

    Both are design defects. Crappy hull to liner joint (then cover it up) is clearly #1. Not having your engines being able to get out of the water 100% #2.

    Auxiliary Berth Cushions --- Need your Help

    I'd take measurements and make some brown bag or cardboard templates. If you are not comfortable, have a marine upholstery shop stop by and do it fo you.

    Grady White Marlin 28 1994 balsa hull

    Larger beam GWs were cored with balsa at one time. Not sure about today with the no wood claim.

    Canvas cost for a 33 Express

    Check A&J Canvas in Vanceboro NC. They made if for GW. Send them your original, they copy it and send a new one out. Same material as OEM. Your price seems reasonable to me if for the same grade material.

    180 Glove Box Door Panels

    I'd template them with brown paper and cardboard. Once you get the first template done, transfer to a sturdy material and either have fabricated or do it yourself with starboard.

    Hit dock a little hard

    I'd inspect the inside of what I could in the area and also the gelcoat side again. If both have no damage, you are very likely ok.

    Grady 330 Express vs 300 Marlin

    The walk allows rapid and safe access to the bow which in my opinion a big factor. You give up room, but if you need to get to the windlass or assist in docking the WA offers it. The 30'er will be fine for two. Walking around a boat on the hard or at a show is not representative of doing the...
