Thanks for the tips, I’ll be attempting this Saturday so happy to hear as much advice as possible. These are being installed for giants/medium bluefin and I already have the rods and know the rod holders (same as my last boat) so I know the rod/holder combo works. I will be using a hole saw...

Great info! I have one 0* and one 15* degree I will be installing. I’m hoping to get it all laid out Friday/Saturday to see what you mean about the stock ones. I had a feeling that was the case but have never installed any myself before so wasn’t sure. I’ll be using bent butt rods with 130’s on...

Planning on adding 2 swivel rod holders to my 2000 sailfish 272. I have never added rod holders and want to make sure I do it right and not ruin the gunnels. 1. does anyone know if standard swivel holders will fit in the stock lee rod holder holes? They look to be about 2” bases and the backing...

The run home was great, lines off around 7:30am and in the slip I kept it at for the weekend around 4:30pm. Calm following seas/winds the whole way. Averaged about 22kts including the time in the canal which we didn’t have to slow down much for since we timed the current right. I didn’t get...

I’m considering selling the pair that came with my 272. Side mount telescoping 18’, I’ll get model later this week when I’m on the boat. I love how they look I just don’t or rarely troll and constantly go under bridges so theyll tend to be more in the way for my uses. I’m in NH so not too far...

It was nice to meet you too! John was a pleasure to work with and the boat was incredibly well taken care of, I am hoping to keep it in the same shape he did

After a few years with an offshore center console made the decision to get a walk around for the northeast. Closed Thursday on a 272 sailfish and spent the weekend on it including running it 162 miles ~8hrs Friday with my dad for a nice Father’s Day trip. Looking forward to many more weekends...

Great info, I was concerned about the speed limit in the canal, hopefully I can do the same speeds and get through it on the quicker end. Im up the river from great bay by about 2 miles but while my moorings getting beefed up I’m keeping it there. It’s a nice spot overall. Thanks for the info!

Great summary, sounds like an awesome trip! I’m making most of the second leg of your trip Friday. Leaving westerly RI heading to the Piscataqua river in a new to me 272 sailfish. Glad to hear it was a smooth ride, I’m timing the canal at slack tide Friday. Any tips or tricks or issues for...

Thanks for the insight, I had my CC fully rigged for commercial permits including Gumby suits offshore flares epirb etc. where I fish I primarily see giants, and last year of the 10 days I fished 7 were “open buy” days, so I was out in giant territory with a rec permit. I’m going back and forth...

Great info all. My last boat I was rec but being in northern New England and fishing when I do where I do and with the other boats I fish with was considering getting the commercial permit this year purely due to the fact I’m out the 70% of the time when the buyers were buying last year and most...

In the process of purchasing a Grady 272, and curious of any folks in New England who use it for giant/Rec medium fishing or if it’s even possible or plausible. My last boat was a 23’ CC with a bracket and was easy to fish from but had no family amenities. this boat I am going to be using a lot...

Thanks pointedrose for the information. It is the outside hull on both port and starboard sides on the cockpit from about a foot or two behind where the helm enclosure ends to a few feet before the transom. I’ll try and find a hull pic of the model and edit it to show exactly the areas. The...

New to the forum, looking for some info on structure of hull on 1990 252g so appreciate any info. I have searched the past 2 weeks daily between google, here and THT and read every thread on them and can’t find the specific item so thought I’d ask where the knowledge sits. I looked at one that...
