The Ches. Bay Grady White Club is planning a G/W East Coast get together in Solomons, MD. The dates we are planning on is Friday, August 15, 2008 through Sunday, August 17, 2008. This is going to be a BIG event, everyone who can should join us there!

I worked directly with Powertec on a 4-Bladed prop for my Gulf Stream running a single OX66 225. It was horrible. I dropped 10Kts of top end, and completely lost control of the bow rise i.e. trim had ZERO effect. I ran the boat in the bay for two weeks working with a tech on the phone before...

This is really starting to make my head (and wallet) hurt :cry:

I was recently on a Gulf Stream with a single 350 (2008) at the dealer.

Well, thats interesting to say the least. For the uninformed (me) is where a reason why Grady would not put a safety latch on the fold down transom? The Tuna Door on the Sailfish has a way over sized latch on it. Don't get me wrong, I am a super fan of the 265 (because of the fishability of...

Haydn, I am fairly certain that they cannot be cleaned out. More than likely you had "gunk" in the tank and it clogged the filter. Did you check the other one? As for "Ring-Free", you may also want to look into Sea Foam. It is the same stuff; I run it it my 4-strokes and ran it in my OX66...

We are finishing up a two week trip through Queensland Australia that took us from Port Douglas, through Cairns to Port Hinchinbrook. Although the high winds and storms kept us from getting offshore, it was an awesome trip. - I want to thank Haydn (aka jekyl on this site) and his family for...

We carry a varity of 6 and 3 inch Gaffs, Aftco and Sea Striker. I was also just given a couple of 5" head Xtools to trial this year. Always carry more than one. On the leaders, I'll echo Jimmy's comments. We use what most would consider very short leaders, never more than 72 inches. On a...

My Loadmaster is C beam constructed. It is easy to ensure the entire trailer is flushed. I chose galvanized because nearly every dunk will be in saltwater and I think it will hold up longer.

If you are going to be chasing Tuna outa OC MD than my nod would be for the Gulfstream. I took my Gulfstream to the Canyons and back many many times between 2002 and 2007, over 750 hours of Canyon running time. The extra size and weight of the Gulfsrteam make that boat closer to a 26 footer...

Nice looking boat. I owned a 2002 Gulfstream for five years and loved it. The heater buddy is the way to go, just be sure you have ventilation. I live on coffee and fish really early early, so I struggled with the 12V coffee options. I could never find a coffee pot that brewed quick and kept...

I agree the CR seminars are great. I have been going to them each year since they started. Lots of information from a group that spends some serious time on the edge.

The SSB is a nice to have item. We have two good radios, a CB, and an EPRB. When ya go looking for tackle; have a look around and then check out our site and the deal we offer on a 7-line spread.

No doubt about it; go heavy. My Gulfstream sat on a 2-Axle EZLoader that the dealer assured me was the right fit, and by the numbers it was. The problem is that you are heavier than you think. My EzLoader was showing the strain after five years and multiple blow outs.

Pictures Here is the picture provided by Steve at Furuno. On the left is the through hull and on the right is the shoot through.

Wow, this is a debate that lives on and on. Just when I though I had made a decision, Steve Bradburn at Furuno has managed to change my mind. Looks like I am going to put a hole in the boat and make a few modifications to my trailer bunks. Here is what Steve had to say: Ken, Thank you for...

I did quite a bit of research and found that there are a few really good manufactures. I called each one over the course of three months and discussed the right "fit" for my 2002 282. I settled on Loadmaster because they were by far the most helpful and patient with all of my questions. They...

Driving to work this morning I was thinking that the rear end is also going to play a big role. I forget the ratio but I have the "highway" read end package. At 70 mph I am turning about 1850 rpm in 6th gear not towing. One of my fishing buds has a ford with a low gear rear end and he can't...

Magicalbill: Yes, the Gulfstream had a hard top and a single yamaha 225. I am going by what the onboard computer reads out. I have no reason to think its wrong, or I would have run out of gas a few times. My Dodge is a Ram 2500 with a 6-speed manual transmission and of course it has the HO...
