    Tow vehicle opinions

    Sailfish is now on a trailer but I have yet to purchase a tow vehicle. Gross payload of boat and trailer is 9,600 pounds. Want something used that I can drive from the Midwest to the East coast in the Spring; tow, launch and retrieve about 10 times during the season, then drive back to the...

    Trailer bunk alignment

    I just purchased a new trailer that had been set-up to carry a 26' Proline. I have a older (Pre Sea V2) Sailfish that I will be trailering. Does anyone have their Sailfish on a trailer and have dimentions of how the bunks should be positioned?

    Considering moving my boat to the mid Chesapeake waters for fall and spring Rockfish then back to the Atlantic for summer offshore. Trying to decide whether to trailer the boat twice a year or cruise up the Delaware Bay, through the C&D then down the Chesapeake. Have not found a marina as yet...

    Motors starved for fuel

    I have a pair of 99' Optimax 200's that are experiencing a fuel starvation problem that is yet to be thoroughly diagnosed.

The outside diameter or the pole is 1-1/8" which is what I believe is considered a 1-1/4" model (because the female bent tube that goes into the bracket is 1-1/4" OD). Has anyone ever used an alternate brand of pole...

    87 Sailfish 252G engine bracket

    Boat is new for me. First winter in dry dock and working on numerous issues that I have little experience with. This issue is the engine bracket. Has fins that come off the bottom stern of the bracket and look damaged by retrofitted engines. Fins have recognizable scars from what looks like...

    87 Sailfish through hull replacement

    I am attempting to replace the through hulls as they appear to all be original. I am mostly concerned about those below the waterline. Am having trouble with what I believe is the deck and fishbox drain on the starboard side. I am accessing them though a wood panel in the stern of the head...
