    minimum hp for GW 19' tournament

    Nowhere near enough power for that boat. Minimum for even decent performance is 140.....It'll run with a 115 but not the way it was intended to. Most people power it with 150 - 200 HP. 70 won't even plane.

    Noise on F225

    Yup...It's a bushing...Shift shaft I believe - Usually only makes the noise in neutral or low idle. The problem is too tight a tolerance on the bushing. They can remove it and give it a quick tweak with a file or replace it with one that has a higher tolerance (New Spec.) If yours have never...

    Single outboard on a Grady White Sailfish 255 ?

    I've never been a fan of how the wide bodies ride on a single screw. I've had many debate with Gulfstream owners who say there is no difference but I've ridden both extensively and the twin set-up rides much better. I don't know why but it is not my imagination. I imagine the 255 will be the...

    GPS shuts down on starting outboard

    You can try new batteries and wire as described above but you may still have the voltage drop/low battery issue - You should do those things either way as they are the correct way to be wired/operate the boat. however, if you want to end this nuisance once and for all install a line conditioner...

    What color bottom paint would you recommend

    Of course, this is a matter of personal opinion...but, IMHO BLACK is the ONLY color that looks good on a GW.

    Sailfish Winterizing

    JMHO..But it costs about $8.00 and takes less than 10 minutes to winterize both the livewell and the salt water washdown. Salt water can and does freeze. Especially if you have the boat exposed to wind. If you pop a fitting behind the livewell you'll wish you spent the time....Chances are it...

    Marlin winterizing questions

    You can avoid disconnecting anything if you do the following: 1. Buy the through hull "Plunger" that you put over your thru-hulls when the boat is out of the water. 2. Get a "Drill pump" that will connect to your handheld drill. 3. For the Fresh water follow the advice above - Empty...

    Canyon 366

    No pics....But I CAN tell you it looks better in person than in the pics you have seen.....I'm willing to bet you find a way to "Force" yourself to take a test ride before the end of the season.......That 42 is a LONG time away...It's going to take a LOT of will power..... :wink:

    Canyon 366

    Got to check out the 366 today. POE got one in and even though I'm not in the market I had to take a look......All I can say is that is one BAD AZZ CC!! She's big - No surprise there.....But, she doesn't look or feel like a floating barge......Very nice layout - Some cool new features like...

    Still glad you "Got the Grady?"

    NEM, Might as well get the 366....you won't see anything larger than a 36 from GW for quite some time. They don't even have a mold nor are they planning on producing one. When the economy picks up and their customer base demands a larger hull - And is willing to pay for it - They may build...

    Crocker's Marine Closing?

    Inside word is it has nothing to do with the economy. Apparently after Kay passed away the son's heart just wasn't in it anymore and he decided to get out of the business.

    330 windshield

    I'm with NEM...I had a 2003 and had no problems at all. What is the specific problem? Are you getting condensation? is it glare (Do what NEM said). Remember, light is your enemy at night. Bright lights of any kind ruin your night vision. If you look at a bright light for even a few seconds...
