    G W Wood rot warranty

    I had to replace several bulk heads on my Gulf Stream, after only three years due to rot. No charge, but it was a cause of concern ... whats next. My 282 is a 2002 and I have not discovered any rot yet. Later this year the floor pannels come up for a very close look see.

    Trailer Recomendations?

    Before you choose, contact Gary R Straw Loadmaster loadmaster@cros.net At a minimum, Gary is a wealth of information on what you need and what is overkill. Mine is a bit of overkill, but that was my choice. I will put well over 1000 miles a year on the trailer. Each of Gray's...

    Frustrated with grady deck...

    Got back last night. Long haul for the Grady. Fishing was marginal. Mostly bottom fishing dominated by small sharks, but what the heck the kids loved it. The weather killed us, but it was a great opportunity to use the sirus weather module, it earned its place thats for sure! Time for some...

    Bizzare engine power loss on hard bumps

    That was the initial indication that I was about to embark on a long drawn out issue with e10. Bottom line, it was a filter issue.

    Beam Width 9'6" and trailering from Maryland to Florida

    I am with you on that one. I always go around. The Tunnel, 50/301 bridge in Annapolis have additional rules/Limitations. Anyone towing a boat over 8.6 should take to time to know ALL of the restrictions along the route. Most states have a 8.6 foot limit.

    Beam Width 9'6" and trailering from Maryland to Florida

    It was a black SUV that said STATE TROOPER on it and he introcuded himself as trooper xyz. So, I am pritty sure he was a trooper. The legal width for NC is 9 feet 11 inches, so it was a non-issue. I did not know it at travel time, but my permit agent had sent me an email to me telling me that...

    LIVE Well Issues

    My Livewell overfills with water when the pump is running and we are on plane. Has anyone had this issue? It seems it is not draining fast enough or the drain stem is too tall. I was thinking of putting more holes in the drain stem to keep the level down. Any thoughts?

    Beam Width 9'6" and trailering from Maryland to Florida

    I have done the trip from Maryland to Florida several times, towing a boat that has a beam of over 8 1/2 feet. I have done it without permits, no problem and I have done it with permits. Your call. Just remember, if something happens and you do not have permits, your libility risk is through...

    My '86 Sailfish on Lake Ontario

    Shhhh ....Don't tell everybody, that fishery really is a secret; not many outsiders. When my brothers come down and we fish the Ocean I work them hard cleaning the boat. When I go up there they return the favor by making me buy the beer!

    Garmin vs Lowrance vs Raymarine

    I have owned six different Lowrance LCX series on the last two boats I owned. Love the software and never had a problem with display heads. I hate the transducers. They work fine for a while, but I never had a LEI Ducer last more the 36 months. I operate about 300 hours a year, mostly...

    282 Sailfish fresh water nozzle

    I put an adapter on mine that converts it to a regular garden hose size. This way all of the water hoses aboard are the same. It also allowed me to make a Y-Set of hoses that attach to the fresh water and both engines at the same time so I can flush the engines at the dock as well as a length...
