    New Grady-White Freedom 265

    Looks like a nice design. My only concern would be the windshield. I'm sure you would be fine seated, but I'm guessing your getting blasted in the face when standing. It's one of the few complaints I have on my boat.

    330 Express RePower

    It is, but that was 2 years ago. He might have edited his post after my comments. Or I had sniffed too much glue that day. ;)

    Coaming Pads?

    I just did this last week. Advice is spot on. In my case some screws were at the vents. Others were nearly impossible to discern the location of other then a very faint imperfection in the mesh under the pad. Apparently screws were simply ran through the mesh in some locations.

    Got the attention of the GW merchandise people

    Good to see they have new hat options. The cotton ones barely fit my big mellon. After a few cycles in the humidity, they would shrink to the point that I couldn't wear them. The new mesh hats need one improvement - more mesh. The folliclely challenged (like me) get sun burned through the hat!

    SEM vinyl paint - what color?

    I think I found my answer. Ranger off white.

    SEM vinyl paint - what color?

    Normally I wouldn't consider this type of product, but it gets rave reviews by users. It doesn't so much create a layer as it seems to penetrate the vinyl and wears as if it is the original material. I'd like to give it a go, but don't know what color. I contacted the manufacturer and they don't...

    Sharrow Propellers

    From what I have read and heard, a good conventional prop will be about as good as the Sharrow from an efficiency standpoint. The gain will be with lower noise, lower vibration and improved low speed traction including reverse. A lot of people hate on them due to the price point, yet people buy...

    1995 Sailfish 272 Repower. Suzuki 200 or 225??

    So does that mean you are on the top hole? I ask because mine are as low as they will go, but it is the 2nd from top hole. I can't use the top hole without hitting the transom.

    1995 Sailfish 272 Repower. Suzuki 200 or 225??

    Been there. Done that. Garret, your numbers are impressive and will improve more after break-in. What make and model props are you running? What hole are your engines mounted on? While my eco enertias provide impressive performance, I do have issues with bite. I have wondered if the right 4...

    Beware of this case of credit card fraud.

    The shear number of scam sites and scammers are possible because the biggest companies on the planet don't see the need to invest resources to stop it. It doesn't hurt the tera-corps enough to matter. The platforms they profit from are the breeding ground for these dirt bags. The dirt bags are...

    For the Owner/Admin of GG

    I hear you. However, I think it has become more civil compared to 10+ years ago.

    For the Owner/Admin of GG

    THT off the rails? You should have seen what it was like 10 years ago! In case my interpretation is incorrect, how do you define "off the rails"?

    Beware of this case of credit card fraud.

    Last week I decided to use Flakebook/Fakebook to shop for a pool table. Went to the address provided to check it out. Homeowner answered the door. She knew nothing about a pool table and never owned one. My wife reported the seller to Flakebook control HQ (sarcasm). The response was that the...

    Beware of this case of credit card fraud.

    Thanks for the tip. In my life, I have never seen it as bad as it is today with the number of scammers out there. I can't help but think this could easily be shut down, but the scam "industry" seems to not be a priority for anyone to stop. Sad times.

    1995 Sailfish 272 Repower. Suzuki 200 or 225??

    I can't help but think buying twin Mercs would result in further discounts. When I 1st asked for a quote for my engines, the price was out of line compared to the best prices in Florida. I politely told the dealer that if he wanted to sell engines, he needed to be at least $5k lower to be...

    1995 Sailfish 272 Repower. Suzuki 200 or 225??

    In that case, go with the 225s. Save some weight over the v6 aps, and a decent chunk of $$.

    1995 Sailfish 272 Repower. Suzuki 200 or 225??

    Does it bug you to constantly have to sync engines manually? Does the lack of precision around the dock piss you off? Do you plan to keep the boat for more than 7 years? $6k is a lot. I think on the 4 cylinders the total difference was about $2k for twins. I would think rigging digital would be...

    Download your owners manual from the Grady site. It will have the instructions for your model. Ironically it's great reading material for your house throne!
