Anyone ever cut the front of the bow rail out to make it easier to get one and off using the pulpit? Thinking about doing it on my 272 Sailfish. Pretty sure I've seen it before, just wondering of there is any specific way to do it to keep the integrity of the bow rail.

I know a lot of guys have done this themselves, looking to do them on my 272 this Spring, but just as a comparison has anyone ever paid a shop to do it? Just wondering how bad of a killing they'd charge for this job.

Can someone tell me the reason for these in the pic below? Not the tab cylinder, but the vent at the top of the cavity. Looks like they go from the trim tab cavity up and out into the engine well. Are these just to let water push up through the cavity and drain out into the engine well? The...

Any reason to remove/change these out after 30yrs? '96 Sailfish. Do they eventually rot, leak, break, etc..?

Have seen some older (94-97) Sailfishes around with 300's on them. Other than the weight/ scuppers when sitting, which they don't look that bad with, is there any concern of 300's being on these hulls. All are the stepped hulls without the full running surface. Any reason the euro transom...

Came across an '03 Marlin with F 225's on it. Looking for anyone who has run one with these, I know they were on a lot of Marlin's and the also the 33 Express' for a while before the 250's came out. The owner said he runs about 18 mph at 3600 RPM, I don't like the sound of that. I'd probably...

Wondering if anyone knows a place online that sells parts for older Grady's or really if anything like that exists. I need a box cover on the port side of my 1996 272 Sailfish. It was busted up and delaminated when I bought the boat 3 years ago, about the only thing not in great shape, and has...

'96 Sailfish 27...the mechanism that you use to lock the cabin hatch up and then twist the knob to release snapped on me, won't release to I had to take it off. The plastic knob that you turn to release snapped internally so you can't get it to release now. Where would I find one of them as a...

Had the boat pulled out for a few hours last week to have a new transducer installed and was looking around the bottom and cannot find where the raw water intake is for the head. Boat is new to me this season so it's the first time I've looked for it....was just looking out of curiosity and...

Bought this boat early this summer and love it. It has the Main and Reserve fuel tanks and I'm just wondering what the sizes are on each. The PO told me the Main was 120 gallons and the Reserve was 50 gallons, but I think he was guessing. I haven't used the Reserve and don't plan to, as I...

What are the major differences, is it basically cosmetic? I've seen both and I can see the obvious differences at the helm and in the cabin, also noticed they moved the transom door to the port side from starboard, took out the rear bench seat and made it a cooler instead. But did they make...
