Just received an email, and Cataumet boats will not be at show due to hurricane...

Anyone planning to attend? We are going to be there Thursday and Friday, hopefully well ahead of Lee. Hoping GW brings something OTHER than the Freedom models.

What is being left out of the equation when thinking of swapping boats - all the transaction costs of selling existing, and buying another boat. Assuming a broker would be involved. Also, you already know your boat, and it makes zero sense to sell if you are buying the same model again, as you...

Sadly, I'm in the same situation you are...but one of mine needs work. If both of mine were running, I'd not be repowering right now. My dealer did mention that one could get the new 250's and use with manual controls, which is a significant savings.

The motor may not be getting sufficient fuel to do any more than the 5k. The restriction prevents it from going full throttle, and prevents it from getting full power from a given RPM particularly under load. Ever been down a cylinder - similar performance can result.

It's your money. Obviously we can't convince you that it is not weight that is your issue. Your assumption that the motors are doing their job is not accurate. I'm no expert, but anytime I've been in a situation where troubleshooting is needed, rule of thumb is to start with the...

With it being both engines - for it to be prop slip, would not the same change have to have happened to both props? It is most certainly not weight, as several of us have pointed out. If there was so much extra weight to impact performace to this extent, the scuppers would be below water...

A bit of a pain with twins, but get a couple of external 6 gallon fuel tanks, and connect them as directly to the engines as possible (avoiding fuel lines and filters upstream of the motors). Run the boat on the portable tanks. This will at least eliminate a clogged inline filter, fuel line...

100% agree with this. Engines don't like to sit around. Injectors or filters. I don't know what there are for filters on an etec, but this screams fuel issue to me. As a totally unrelated data point. When my underpowered 330 is light, it only gains a couple of knots in speed compared to a...

There is a similar reservoir for the thruster on my 330.

Is your boat equipped with a bow thruster?

Not sure about the 336, but the order on my 330 was shown in the manual. New Wire Marine has the replacement covers. Simple to change out. Be sure to buy the $4 removal tool, too.

Assuming you were running the pump and it works, most likely due to chemical residue from previous cleaning. Several good rinses and uses will help.

Do a search on google: Express 330 site:greatgrady.com that will get you started. Then update the search to add in specific criteria. Specific questions are a lot easier to answer. There are a ton of 330 owners who have posted here or are still posting here, with all manners of boats.

Doubles are not bad. Run doubles on all 3 outriggers on my 330. That said, if you are worried about it, rig em single, and change later. I've found it helpful to run different colored halyards for long and short - have a lot of people fishing on my boat and I can tell them to use the blue...

Contact Lees Tackle directly. They have been awesome to work with for replacement parts.

Looks good, and I'm not a fan of shiny acrylic. I'll likely be facing the same issue in near future, so paying attention to my options for this space. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome! Glad to hear it worked out for you.

No offense intended, but that is exactly why I don't want all the bells and whistles on a new boat. Too much ancillary stuff to break and or maintain. But good on you for digging into the solution and resolving it.

Take a look at the express, in either the 30 or 33 as well. Different layout than the marlin, but offers much down below for overnighting. IMO, the Express (or the BW/Pursuits with same layout) with the mid berth is the best option out there for overnighting, until you get to the over over...
