I am lucky enough to fish both my 265 and a regulator 26 express. The regulator is faster and rides better, but the cabin sucks compared to the 265. And I like the 265 helm much better. Since I have a wife and two daughters, Grady white makes more sense to me.

Spoke to GW, they got right back to me. Here’s the measurements: Here’s some information that I have that shows the 2001 265 center of gravity and bunk location. LCG is 109.5” from the transom (at motor mount location, not the keel). The bunks are best located 23.5” off of centerline (47”...

Anyone running one? What’s the story behind this model, don’t see many.

265 owners. Just had a lift installed and the installer asked me to contact GW to get the correct spacing for the lift bunks. I’ve tried CS thru the website, and left a message as well. Can anyone tell me what the correct spacing for the bunks and if you angled them inward any? TIA

I have a pair in my overhead boxes on my 265. Haven’t noticed any interference. You’ll have to put some type of protection around them in the box, I didn’t initially, but then a loose screw dropped into the cone. Lesson learned.

I e-mailed GW customer service to get a replacement but never heard back. Guess I will give them a ring instead.

Did you find a replacement? I’m looking as well.

I got the covers from Taylor and it made a huge improvement

Love my Shurhold DA, lots of good tips on their site

Lots of good ideas and videos on the Shurhold website. I broke down and bought their DA Polisher and some of their compounds and waxes and they are as advertised. My 01 looks new and it was a chalky mess when I bought it

Thanks Fishtales!

Can you still get the bang plate from GW?

Very cool- thanks for that info

Do the 4.2 F250’s mount on 26 centers? Maybe finding a set used would be the way to go. Anyone know the weight of the 4.2 250’s?

Merc’s

Those new 250 V-8’s would be my choice, but they are unicorns. Our boat show is next week I’m going to get some quotes, I’ll share when I get them.

Will do

Anything made by Winter Custom Yachts works for me: Wintercustomyachts.com I am lucky enough to get some invites on a 61 Viking that has a 38 knot cruise and she’s an absolute beast, but those Winters take it to another level. I was next to a 37 Winter ( Ricochet) in Tortolla In November...

I am in the same boat (no pun intended). I have a 265 Express and found some 19 footers off a Carolina Classic 25. Thought it would be plug and play. Was looking forward to a bigger spread compared the stock 15’s. Two issues : the stays ( wires) for the spreaders hits the hardtop when the are...

Wow- thanks so much ( I think ) that looks like quite the project.
