    Recommendation for a buffer

    Porter Cable. I use it on my 360. Top of the line detailing sells pretty good packages online. Get extra mounting plates as they do wear out. I use some of their specialty pads and then I use Collinites products (3M for compound and Collinites for cleaner & wax). I have a process I go...

    What kind of GW boat is this?

    After looking it up in the catalogue it appears to be a 1977 212-C Nassau.

    What kind of GW boat is this?

    I do not think that is a 1978. In 78 GW had a brown stripe on all (I think) of their hulls. That boat is pre-1975. On the GW website they have all of the brochures so I am sure you can find the boat. I think you are right about the model.

    Taking care of hardtop

    I would not apply a wax on the top other than Woody's (Which is what I use). It is non slip and others won't be. Woody's is easy to apply and on the hard top you will need to use is once a month. Just wet down the top, spray it on, scrub it in with a brush and let it sit for 30 minutes. Then...

    36 express

    I have a 360 ( for sale but only because I don't use it enough) and I can tell you that there is very little a Cabo 40 can do that the 360 won't. It'll give you more amenities for a long cruise but I've cruised 5 on my 360 for 8 days and it was very comfortable. As far as fishing you won't end...

    Freedom 335

    LOL....I wouldn't hold your breath. What about that 40' Topaz POE has for sale. That's a battlewagon!

    Freedom 335

    The 335 is a nice boat for sure and that hull will ride nothing like the 275. It is much heavier and more stable - Not that there is anything wrong with the 275. However, you are correct that there isn't much you can do with the 335 that you cannot do with the 275. Unless you carry a LOT of...

    330 w/F250s (enough power)?

    Yes....Yes....and YES.......Not only are the 250's enough power but so are the 225's. Plenty of people will come on here and tell you otherwise.....I've OWNED a 330 w/ 225's and it ran fine. Cruised at 29 MPH all day long regardless of load. I have also ran a 330 extensively with the 250's...

    360 Express Rigged for Fishing input

    I mounted some hook holders (4) to the insides of the port rest box for buck tails, etc. truth is there is a ton of space. Cextra rods go in the shower with shock cords and there is a ton of space for tackle. Between the drawers, removable boxes and other storage you can keep almost everything...

    Dawn dishwashing soap

    UUUUhhhhh.....No......Dawn dishwashing soap will strip the wax off.....It's a known car detailing trick. In fact, we do it to the boat every year before waxing to start with a fresh surface. Any good boat soap will work well and you can use spray away or something like it for the hard stuff...

    Shore power problem for Sailfish

    Not sure where it is in a 91 but there is a circuit breaker for shore power located under the starboard gunnel on the newer boats. If it trips you won't get power. If it isn't there it's probably near that batteries or somewhere in the stern compartments. Check under the gunnels first.

    Eisenglass

    Eisenglass. It is not basic clear vinyl.....It is not plexiglass. Pledge does not hurt it - Ever.

    Eisenglass

    I don't know....My Eisenglass is 6 years old. Used Pledge since day one.....No yellowing. I can say the same for plenty of other boats. I think Pledge is fine with Eisenglass....It's the older plastics you need to be careful of. Plexus works great but I found it only lasts a short time while...

    New GW Owner needs help - 2003 30' Marlin

    Pretty sure in 03 Yamaha had already moved to the fully electronic gauges. You should have two sets of bar graphs on the right side of one of your gauges - usually the speedo or tach. The left side is the main tank and the right is the Aux.

    Anyone know what this thing is called?

    Simple replacement. Take the old one out and measure the diameter. As another poster said, replace with either bronze or stainless and don't forget to double clamp whatever hose connects on the inside - Even if there is only one clamp on it now. Use 5200 to seal it in and you'll never need...

    really need guidance

    It's not just raw HP that matters. Torque is as or more important and where it develops it in the power band as well. 150 is way underpowered for that boat. I think it's a little light for a 20 footer and I'm no speed demon. Other poster is right....Find a late model, low hours used 4...
