    2001 Express 265 Repairs

    Enjoy the 265! I’m in Western CT and owned a 2003, bought in 2006, for 14 years and sold to move up. Drbatts is a friend and owned a 265 for years too. We did more maintenance than major upgrades but more than happy to help with any questions. -Mike (Eppe)

    265 first ocean run

    Shipping a Grady out west.

    We sold our 265 express to a gentleman in WA state and connected him with Diamond Marine in West Haven, CT. Granted the buyer needed a trailer as well, but they handled the transaction. They also trailered the boat we bought from NC to CT on their trailer.

    265 hatch removal cover

    Owned a 265 for 14 years, we lifted the entire floor hatch and replaced the lines when the boat was 10 years old, pretty easy and I was able to lift everything myself. We actually put a hinge in the aft section for access. It wasnt 100 percent waterproof but made for great access. If you have...

    Considering upgrading to a 30 Marlin from a 265 Express

    I’m friends with drbatts and was thinking of our “same” experience while reading the post. I had a 265 express as well (loved it) and moved up to a Marlin two seasons ago. My thoughts are in line with his, my only gripe is I wish there was a little more fishbox space. It’s a nice upgrade...

    How To Winterize AC System?

    Reverse flush has worked for us on our Marlin, it just depends how the system is laid out. I have tried the first method of adding "pinkstuff" into the line with the unit on and it didnt work. In order to get reverse to work, at least for us, you need to make room for the pink to push anything...
