That's what I'm saying, if you weren't around the guy might not have bothered stopping, leaving his insurance information and so forth. If there wasn't video of the incident and there was thousands of dollars in damage to your boat... it would likely be on you to cover it, if you didn't know who...

Apologies in advance for the long winded reply, but I feel as though I definitely have a little bit of insight/experience on the topic at hand. In 2017 I purchased a boat called a 21' Arima Sea Ranger and owned it for about 4 seasons before selling it in 2020. The boat was great in the flat...

I can't imagine any legitimate marina would allow someone to moor their boat at their marina without having insurance on their boat, especially in the event of something like this happening, a fire, etc. There are tons of videos on YouTube about guys in marinas, docks, no wake zones, etc that...

Glad to hear you were able to sell the boat and for the price you wanted to get. Sorry to hear about your wife, I know what that's like as my mother has Alzheimer's and she's about to turn 75 this winter. She's not quite to that point yet but we don't allow her to drive, and I imagine it won't...

I'm guessing based off your previous replies that your boat is actually a 265 Express and is a 2001 model year? If so, it looks like per the parts catalogue that it should be a 10-675 pneumatic shock, of which I made a response in another post about shocks, but the information is attached below...

If you have a better source of reviews to go off of for those same batteries, then by all means feel free to share it with the rest of the group. Though, I wouldn't necessarily discredit something just because it's from a site like Sam's Club. Sure, if it was 1 review that was negative, or even...

Do you have your browser on private? If so, or perhaps on a shared account, it might bump you out or log you off? There's also a check box below your username and password when you log in saying "Stay logged in", of which you need to make sure that's checked, or it'll log you out after a certain...

I'm honestly not really sure where to go with your statement, as that was just going off the above links from batteries used/purchased by another member on here, and the OP really never said what Group number his batteries are. But if you'd like to I guess go with more "real world numbers", I'd...

I had an Optima red top battery for my 1965 mustang that lasted over 10 years and then started failing rather quickly, so I imagine it is still likely possible for AGM batteries to last that long. But I have also heard since I bought that battery, that Optima has since switched to a different...

I've got a 2004 Grady White 228 Seafarer with the hardtop and based off of memory, as well as looking at a few pictures of my boat, I'm about 99% positive that the wiring for both the upper electronics boxes, the rear speakers as well as the spreader lights all go through the aluminum tubing for...

Are you asking if you can tow a 228 Seafarer for a 232 Gulfstream with a midsized Lexus SUV? If so, then yes you can, though whether you should or not is a completely different story. I've got a 2004 Grady White 228 Seafarer, of which when I first bought the boat, they launched it on a slip that...

Not exactly an apples to apples comparison, but I bought my boat back in October of 2021, of which in the fall of 2023 I got a low voltage warning as well when taking my boat out of the water for the season. So, I figured it was time to replace the batteries, as I bought the boat with batteries...

I found the boat on Facebook Marketplace and have to wonder what in the world they did to the transom area? It looks like they did some sort of transom "work/repair" and then just painted over it? You can see that there are different colored/shaded areas on the transom, with runoff paint that...

In my opinion, it seems odd that someone would have a boat, or really any other toy for that matter, for less than one season, to then have a moment of mental clarity, realize they weren't using it enough and decide to sell it. I mean... I guess it's always possible that they did, and need the...

It looks like the OP for that thread hasn't been back on here since February 22nd, or just over 4 months now. Not saying that they won't be back, or that they wouldn't respond if the OP of this thread sent them a message, just throwing it out there. They are also in Florida and the OP of this...

A few thoughts on the matter... there are 19 Grady White 232 Gulfstream's on Boat Trader as we speak, 10 of those come with single outboards, 9 are with twins and only 2 of those boats have outboards that are at 225 hp or less. Most of the ones on BT seem like they've also been listed on there...

I'm sure that the F225 would likely be marginal and probably get the job done if it's a healthy motor and propped correctly. But having an extra 75+ hp with something like an F300, I imagine would be much more preferable. I also remember hearing a rumor awhile back that the early Yamaha's could...

Not exactly an apples to apples comparison here... but I've got a 2004 Grady White 228 Seafarer with a single F225 on her, and I definitely wouldn't want to go with anything less in terms of horsepower. My boat will hit about 42-43 mph @ WOT around 6k rpm, while being roughly half full of fuel...

As has been discussed on here a few times before, you've basically got 3 options as to how to proceed. The first is going to a local shop and having them fabricate up a hardtop for you, though this is likely going to be the most expensive option. The second would be scouring the internet and...

It has a small sink in the cabin, as well as a porta-potty... or at least that's how it is on my boat.
