Here's a shot of my C120 and 582L flushmounted. I don't have any glare issues and I run the chart, radar and weather display on the C120. Prior to this I had a Furuno 1650 which was adequate but small and a Raymarine radar in the overhead compartment. It was a PIA looking up and down at the...

The first time we did that we pulled up near a school BFT chasing half-beaks and one of the guys wrapped his line around a rigger while making a cast. I'm not a big fan of having the riggers hanging over the cockpit but if you don't do any casting it's probably OK. I had a set of Lee T-Top...

I have the Lee Jr's on my 265 and a buddy has the Taco's on his HS CC. It can be a bit of a hassle trying to get the Taco's extended and set-up if you're shorthanded and I think the Lee's are a higher quality system. Yes, the Lee Jr's extend up alongside the hardtop but it's not a big deal...

It's just a sketch but if the proportions are correct you're right. Another euro transom waste of space.

Your strainer may be clogged. Pull the line off the side of your pump amd check it. That's what happened to mine. Bill

The boat rides great and is very stable at drift or while trolling. It's a lot of boat for 26 feet! I did 3 canyon trips on it last year and ran through some nasty stuff on parts of all three. The boat handled it fine. There's plenty of room under the hardtop for the crew going back and forth...

Twin 200 HPDI's are absolutly enough power for a 265. I've ran a 2000 265 with HPDI's 2 years ago and they seemed like the perfect power for that hull. But the boat had a few issues that the owner wouldn't address so we kept looking until we found an '02 with F225's. Economy wise they're...

Ask the seller to fix the issues found. This is standard practice. If he doesn't want to then you have to decide how bad you want it. In my experience repairs always seem to cost more than you think they will so I would start looking for another boat. If you want to negotiate, don't act...

Upload them to photobucket or some other pic sharing site, then copy/paste the links.

Sounds like a great idea Mike! Put some pics up when you get a chance. My pump was replaced just before I bought my 265 2 years ago and I haven't had to replace it yet. Hopefully it'll still work this spring - they seem to go over the winter. Bill

Not sure where you're seeing that. This is what I found...... http://www.derbycycles.net/pages/catalo ... itive.aspx

Better check that price again. A lot cheaper than that thru SIM

So this is your reaction after making some negative general statements about Grady's that are not entirely true? As soon as someone calls you on it we're all ignorant?

I have to disagree with you on this statement. I owned an Edgewater before I bought my 265. They are a nice boat but not of the same quality as a Grady.

Agreed. The only thing impressive about these engines is the acceleration.

One of my buddies has twin 250's on his HS 29. They burn a lot more fuel than my F225's, and the RAM oil is expensive. They also overheat when we're trolling. He claims it's from turbulence.

Do you know what the hours are on these engines? I'd rather have an OX66 with 250 hours than an HPDI with 900...

Sweet! I had an Edgewater 200DC before I bought my 265. Dual consoles are great fishing boats. Hope you can keep that one for awhile!

It's a little puzzling when you look at their 2010 product line. They don't have a true offshore fishing boat IMO in the mid 20 foot size range. I guess they target fisherman with their CC models.

You guys must overnight more than we do. Or fish with more women and kids. I empty the tank on my 265 once or twice a year.
