    Sea v 2 year for sailfish?

    Anyone know what year sailfish became sea v 2? I remember seeing a thread here years ago that listed the models and hull changes but can't locate it.

    What props do you run Sailfish w/200's?

    Hey all I bought a sailfish that is overpitched. I need a couple/few hundred more rpm's. Looking to see what you guys are running with 200 2 stroker's. The 225's run a higher pitch, looking for what is on 200's only. Your choice of brand and model would be helpful. Thanks!

    Sliding side window replacement?

    I noticed my sailfish cabin has been too hot and no ventilation. It matters that the starboard side window does not open for a cross breeze. I thought originally that it was not supposed to be able to open, having only looked closely at it from inside. But outside there is silicone all around...

    Adding rod holders to 272?

    Anyone add rod holders to these boats? Maybe one aft of the starboard side aft cleat or on the transom or between the 2 already on each side? Looking at options for drift fishing. I lose one on the port side to the bait cutting table and the aft holder on the starboard side is useless if lines...

    Raw water washdown pump prime?

    Having an issue with prime with this pump. I anchor in a muddy bottom, the chain and anchor comes up caked with black mud. Trying to hose it down as the rode comes in, the water pump surges on and off, very annoying and renders the pump useless for what I need it for in the first place. It is a...

    Gas assisted spring piston needed.

    I have 4 hatches with gas spring pistons. 2000 272. 1 is weak, shot, will no longer hold the hatch open on its own. Need a new one. Contacted Ameritool (decal on piston), they told me to contact Grady. Anyone have a part number for me?

    Anyone have any luck ordering original canvas?

    My 272 is missing the center backdrop. The rest looks original in good shape. It probably was not on the boat all the time. From the Grady website I tried contacting everyone on their list. I figure they can make a single original piece that will fit right, assuming that is why they have a list...

    Looks like I have a couple that do not light up. Where do we get them? I never see this type in my usual catalogs. Model year vintage 2000.

    Sailfish: 1 bilge or 2?

    Have a 272. Is the forward bilge connected to aft bilge or is there bulkhead (or other obstructions) separating them? It is too cold out for a water test to find out at this time.

    Replacing bracket inspection ports...

    So today I am using the hose to help along the snow from the euro-bracket to melt since it was warm today and water is coming out of my hull drain plug. My inspection covers I thought were pretty snug but apparently they leak badly. I do not really trust those pop out lids not to pop out...

    Grady canvas question...

    It all seems to be the same. Is the 'Grady' canvas made cookie cutter style as it appears to be? Meaning, can I buy 1 piece from a dealer and it will just fit right? I am missing the center backdrop and doubt broker will be able to track it down through previous owners. Missing things after the...

    272 2nd house batt location?

    I always need a back up plan. Not comfortable having only 1 house batt. Anyone add a 2nd one? Looking for a good place to put it and wire it to the other house batt via an ACR for charging.
