First I have to thank all those here who have given advise on this topic and shared photo's. Now it's my turn. I was tossing around the idea of doing the starboard thing on the dash and that just didn't sit right with the little woman. So we decided to make it look like we thought the grady...

Eagle Marine in Martinez is quality. They do all the commercial guys work in the north bay. Great honest hard workers.

Well, I really don't want to drill more holes int he fiberglass. And to mount the bulsters they make you have to remove the rub rails from the inside which I do not want to do either. Not to mention loss of space, trip haz. I think the design I have will get the puller higher so the traps clear...

NEM thanks for the contact phone #. I will call that guy next week. As for this weekend, I made it out to the boat and did a little mock up. I think my idea might just work. I took a pair of clamp on mounts and welded a bracket to it. This will allow me to pin the tube to it similar to the deck...

You really think it will bend the hard top supports? There are two welded 2" tubes. I can hang on it and it doesn't even flex and thats 250 lbs. Hmm

Here's the deal. I have come up with this great idea :idea: on how to mount a crab puller off of the super stucture on my 265 express. Basically I will be using the back leg that supports the roof. It seems like enough. Let me know what you think. Is the stock 2" support strong enough? What...

My guys would be it is for a snap to hold the door up. My265 has snaps on straps that do that.

They are made by Carling. You can get new ones that have an Icon of each use. http://www.carlingtech.com/rocker-switches-v-series-ii-iii

I just did the same thing. Picked up a 265 from North Carolina and had is shipped to California. Grady white says a tandem axel trailer is sufficient. I opted for a triple axel. I highly recommend the triple if for nothing else peace of mind. If you are going to tow it is VERY nice. I also...

Nice job Alan! I was in Montana this week and missed all the action. Hopefully I'm around for the next round! see you out there.

I have a 265 Express I am trying to pump. I tried to pump out my holding tank the other day with a dock side pumpout. It keept pumping but didn't seem like any liquid was comming out. Is there a valve on the boat side that needs to be opened? It seemed like there was a squeeking noise I could...

Got em at Amazon, of all places.

Made it out to Ft. Bragg California this week for tuna! We did good 14 albacore and a great time. Boat ran awesome. 30 miles out runin at 38 knots!

Well, I finally got around to putting a filet table on the back of my 265. I used Magna adjustable gimbel mounts so I can put it on the side or the transom. Should make for easy cleaning of the tuna and a nice deck table for the cruises!

I have a 2000 Express 265 and wanted to know if anyone has modified their older model express to the updated backrests like the newer 2005 and up have? You know the ones I am talking about on the side bench seats? Is it possible?

Runs great! I love having the power to jump on plane with a full load and large seas. I can even run them down at idol for salmon trolling no problem. I thought I would have to kill one but with the swell and hull weight I still bump each up a little.

I can confirm that 250's are tight but doable. I manage the width at fill tilt with the brackets on the rams. Keeps them from turning. When tilted down there is not problem and the power goes without saying. My Engines are 2006 though and I think the newer ones are much lighter and more narrow.

I'm in the same situation. I have purchased the repair kit for the manual pump and will be installing soon. I will let you know how it turns out. As for the switch, I haven't tackled that yet either.

Why only 175's? Most of the 265's I see have 225's. Mine has 250 x2 but that seems a little much and is not as fuel efficient I wold guess. I would just be concerned with power. that is allot of weight.

The good toggles are made by Carlin. they even come with the little logos for boating electronics!
