If you're looking to buy a new trailer for your boat beware of Dave's Trailer Sales in Glen Burnie, MD. They sold the previous owner of my boat an aluminum triple axle trailer specifically for my 282 Sailfish just over 2 years ago. I bought the boat and trailer last August and towed it back to...

So we have our new to us Sailfish with twin 250 Yami's on her. After a long day on the water my shoulders hurt for a week plus due to the workout of turning the wheel back and forth to maintain course in rough water. The steering feels a little too stiff for what we have but I have no prior...

I have seen this question asked many times before. I tow with either my F350 or motorhome. Today when I was looking into the procedure to flat tow my F350 behind my motorhome I checked Ford and this picture from their towing guide cracked me up. It's towing a Sailfish I'm almost certain and the...

I have a pretty significant leak into the cabin from the rub rail area. I have already removed it all but about 5' which I will remove and clean up to seal after I put the other end back on. Wanted to keep part attached to keep the same orientation as before. Once removed it became very evident...

My Furuno Navnet TZ Touch 2 chartplotter kept shutting down completely and immediately when I would hit any wave that caused a jar through the boat. It happened about 5 times in one day. It would turn back on within a few minutes but was quite the distraction and annoyance. I'm also worried that...

Has anyone strung a wire from the aft midship area with the batteries to the starboard gunnel on a 282? I haven't looked hard but upon brief inspection I'm not seeing any logical way to get the wire from the outer gunnel across the outside section and back into the middle section. Starboard is...

We will be heading to the east coast Monday after our tuna trip to pick up the newest addition to our family. I can't wait to get her home and bloody the decks. She's in great shape and ready to rock n roll. Attaching some pictures here. This baby is going to get some love and it's the newest...

I'm having a hard time finding any info on what major changes were done and when. It seems like they started installing 4 strokes in 02' I believe I clarified that they went to the SeaV 2 hull in 1998. I at least found something online that led me to believe that. It looks like 05 they...

The title pretty much sums it up. I have in the past looked past a boat because it had 2500 hours or so. Should I be considering something like that if it's been well maintained? I know the 225's have the exhaust issues but not sure about the hours on those as well. Any insight would be...

We just backed out on a gorgeous 272 in Delaware that has major structural fiberglass issues. Major bummer but back in the saddle for the hunt again. My wife is already pointing out new listings. We will find the right one.

We have been looking for about 18 months at both 282 and 300 models and we're getting closer to ready to pull the trigger on something. We will be trailering the boat at least 8 or 9 months of the year so that is a factor. It seems like the Marlin models are pretty close typically in price but...
