    Trim tabs getting damaged when forklift lifts boat

    I noticed on some hulls there is not a recessed area for the tabs and others where the tabs extend out beyond the transom. Both conditions are not optimal in my book and I wonder why GW does it this way. First thing I'd do is talk to the yard that is moving the boat around. Maybe contact...

    '95 268 Islander Transom

    Has a marine plywood core and stringers. Greenwood not used until later in GW boats. That is a big job for sure.

    1995 Sailfish 272 Repower. Suzuki 200 or 225??

    More than I would thought it would be. I like the weight reduction for sure. How do you use the boat? If you ok with the lower performance and better price point, the weight reduction is the way to go. In my case, I'd go for the 200s. but you may want the extra ponies.

    LIQUID CLEANER TRAPPED IN HULL

    See if they will haul it out and set it bow up to drain out. Then wash the entire hull out.

    It's a nice day boat if that is your thing. You can sit a small village on that thing.

    1995 Sailfish 272 Repower. Suzuki 200 or 225??

    Go with the 225s. Its the weight more than the HP for the transom.

    Nonskid Match for 2006 Gulfstream

    It will likely fade overtime like the original. I'd be inclined to leave as is and see if it fades to match.

    2013 330 Express for Sale price reduced again

    I agree, in this market you have to have the boat looking good and the more pics the better to get eyeballs on her.

    Potential Freedom 205 upgrade

    Agree with the market comments. Dealers will be slow to discount. Keep your eyes out for a late model used boat or maybe a non-current new one at a dealer if things really slow down.

    Stereo side piece

    I like the idea of trying smaller head screws. If that doesn't work, I'd probably minimally glue it.
