    265 Repower (w/ ETEC 250's)

    Re: 265 Repower (espcially those with 2001 hulls) I have a 2001 with 2006 Yamaha 250's. I have not raised the scuppers and have had no problems. They are lower but it makes little difference esspecially when on the water.

    CA Albicore tuna board

    Well, we have been getting into the albicore the last couple months. A buddy of mine thought of this great Idea to build a trophy board like they have in alaska for our catch, so here are half of the tuna we caught last week. Cant display them all but kinda fun.

    Kicker motor on 265 Express

    I would say it's because they come stock with a kicker. I can only think of two reasons for a kicker, backup in case your primary motor fails and second, to troll. In either case twin 225 or 250 outboards are kickers for one-another. Maybe if you needed to troll at 0.5 kts but besides that I...

    Trailer size

    I have the same boat and bought a 3 axle trailer and havent looked back. Withe this setup you are right on the edge of needing a 3x. If you trailer alot go 3x. I love the ride. Also got E/H brakes, what a dream. Just don't get a brakerite system.

    T-top Crab puller question

    Well I finally finished it. What do you think? It pulls like a dream no flex or stress as far as I can tell. Keeps the trap high off the rail too so as to not scratch the side. Between this set up and the Ace line hauler we pulled a total of 773 dungeoness this season.

    Trailer Tires

    I too run marathons. No problems YET. I'm sure you checked, but it is extreamly important to maintain max pressure on your tires. The chunking must have been from something on the road. Found this interesting not. Goodyear says run tires 10 psi over if your trailering > 65 mph...

    265 Express dash upgrade! The way it should have been

    First I have to thank all those here who have given advise on this topic and shared photo's. Now it's my turn. I was tossing around the idea of doing the starboard thing on the dash and that just didn't sit right with the little woman. So we decided to make it look like we thought the grady...

    T-top Crab puller question

    Well, I really don't want to drill more holes int he fiberglass. And to mount the bulsters they make you have to remove the rub rails from the inside which I do not want to do either. Not to mention loss of space, trip haz. I think the design I have will get the puller higher so the traps clear...

    T-top Crab puller question

    NEM thanks for the contact phone #. I will call that guy next week. As for this weekend, I made it out to the boat and did a little mock up. I think my idea might just work. I took a pair of clamp on mounts and welded a bracket to it. This will allow me to pin the tube to it similar to the deck...

    T-top Crab puller question

    You really think it will bend the hard top supports? There are two welded 2" tubes. I can hang on it and it doesn't even flex and thats 250 lbs. Hmm

    T-top Crab puller question

    Here's the deal. I have come up with this great idea :idea: on how to mount a crab puller off of the super stucture on my 265 express. Basically I will be using the back leg that supports the roof. It seems like enough. Let me know what you think. Is the stock 2" support strong enough? What...
