    130 rod holders

    I have 3 on my 272, all 4 bolt with backing plate. I made sure the core was dry, sealed the top and bottom with marine grade caulk and have had 3 years and all types of fish from giant bluefin to sharks on them with no signs of stress or fatigue on the gunwales. Make sure when they are installed...

    Looking for a GW Sailfish or Marlin

    If you’re still looking and interested in a repower candidate, I’m considering selling my 2000 272 sailfish as is (just had the port engine die and initial diagnosis is water leak in the power head waiting for haulout to get final diagnosis). Can let it go at a price where a repower to new...

    Overheating

    Poppet valve. I did the same thing with mine resealing the lower and replacing the water pump, it didn’t resolve it (although I needed to do it), also replaced all thermostats with no luck. I replaced the poppet valve this winter and it fixed it.

    2000 272 Sailfish good bad ugly

    I currently have a 2000 sailfish 272. The good, great layout, great compromise for fishing and beach days, lots of great aspects. The bad… wiring from the factory is standard copper wire, and eventually no matter how good of condition it was kept it needs a full rewire to tinned marine grade...

    Valise coastal liferaft storage 2000 sailfish 272

    Mines a little big for those spots unfortunately but I have them a try. Hard to see the size relative in the picture but it takes up one entire side either helm or passenger side from floor to just under my knees and from the cup holder spot out to the aisle

    Valise coastal liferaft storage 2000 sailfish 272

    The door on my cabin is tight, after a couple minutes of forcing and pivoting I decided not to bring it below in fear of not getting it out. My friends ‘99 272 has a slightly wider door and it’d work with that setup but mines just too tight to get below unfortunately

    Valise coastal liferaft storage 2000 sailfish 272

    Valise coastal liferaft storage 2000 sailfish 272

    Any tips on where/how to store a valise raft on a sailfish 272 so it’s accessible but kept dry? First year with one and testing different spots before I’m launched there isn’t a great place out of the way but also accessible. Any insight appreciated.

    WTB: Old style gunwale rod holders

    Here’s mine, I have 3 of these all in similar condition. Let me know if you want them, I replaced mine with deep 0* swivel holders for tuna which sounds like what you’re going to be taking out. If you’re interested I’d consider trading if they are lee 0* swivel rod holders

    WTB: Old style gunwale rod holders

    Sorry didn’t mean to take away from the original responder. Mine came off a 2000 Grady white sailfish 272. Will be able to get pics/measurements later this week if you’re interested and the previous one doesn’t work out.

    Mobile Marine Electrician Southern ME/Seacoast NH?

    Looking for a marine electrician somewhere on the Seacoast NH or southern ME. Long story short, was putting off a full rewire until next winter but after getting a transducer installed I’ve run into some issues with loose switch panel wires (I’ve replaced a handful myself but these are more...

    Advice on a 282 Sailfish

    I have a 2000 sailfish 272 and am out of NH/southern ME. If you’re interested I have a great Yamaha mechanic that’s mobile and can survey the engines for you. My previous boat had a 2002 F225, he did the engine survey when I bought and sold and I had him scope and do the exhaust kit before I...

    Northern NE Fishing

    Congrats, that’s the type of day I haven’t had in years. I’m heading out Friday to try a few spots with some friends. Seems like it’ll be decent Friday hope to get into the fish. I usually use jigs but we are going to try dropper rigs and clams since that’s what it seems like most folks are...

    2000 Sailfish 272 Livewell Lid

    Will do, forgot to take some today but will be back at the boat Thursday to get some. Basically the sailfish 272 has a small circular handle with a key ring on the bottom (in water) side. So when you pull the handle up the small “key ring” digs into the hatch a little. If you use it a lot it...
