    Thinking about removing the Manual SureShade

    At least it is manual. I hear nothing but bad things from my dealer with the motorized ones. Seems like every time I see him the topic of staying away from them comes up.

    Yamaha tach not getting signal

    I'd be fine with it. Run it and see how it goes. It's not a critical failure mechanism so don't sweat it too much.

    GW Freedom 307 Rod Holders

    A bunch of folks have. Search the Mod/Upgrade section. Its fairly straight forward. You need to pay attention to what is under the gunnel and make sure where you drill has sufficient back side room, You should use backing plates if possible, any size will help. Get the right angle for the...

    24 Offshore pilot seats?

    Todd and Garelick make some decent small seats. I'd want to touch and sit in anything before buying. Could look at leaning post options as well.

    Freedom 285 Side Pocket Netting Gone---Ideas fro Filling Holes

    If plastic, I had good experience with JBWeld for plastic. I feathered it in a crack or hole and sanded. I painted with a sealer and then color matched paint for a headliner crack. Came out pretty nice.

    HPDI 200 - how smooth should it run at low RPM?

    In my experience many 2 strokes can be rough at low idle. A good fuel cleaner as well as adjusting idle goes a long way.

    Bow Thruster on 2022 330 Express

    You can easily add one to the boat and it was an option when new. They drill the hull and install a tunnel for the thruster. I'd say you are looking at $12-15K.

    Bow Rail Segmented?

    Most early boats had the railing that was in pieces and was held together at the intersections points with female adapters and set screws. I prefer it because replacements can be done easily, low piece part cost and low shipment cost due to knock down design. The one piece ones sure look...

    casting platform

    Can't use starboard or any plastic board, it needs to be structural to hold the weight. I'd use 3/4" plywood, router everything and support on the backside with wood support strips (glued and screwed). The big thing will be weight and storage when not desired.

    2001 islander mesh stow bag under hard top

    Could try A&J Canvas in Vanceboro NC. I believe they make them for GW. Have the boat model, year and dimenstions/pics. If the existing can be used as template, ship it to them.

    340 Review

    once you get above 30' the GWs price seems to escalate dramatically. You have to look at other brands. There are a lot of options out there for various use cases. I love my GW buy if buying new, I'd probably be going in another direction.
