I am in the process of refurbing a '86 Sailfish. We just had tanks bilt for this boat in October. If you are getting quotes on a tank replacement, call Atlantic Coastal Welding, http://www.speedytanks.com. I had them build a 125 gallon and 73 gallon auxillary. With coal tar epoxy, sending units...

I am having Scott at Vector build a new panel for our Sailfish. For those who have done business with Scott, how long did it take from payment to delivery?

Just wanting to get a little feedback from the brain trust here on repowering a '86 Sailfish with a pair of Yamaha 225's. I have the opportunity to buy a pair of "99 EFI OX 66's with 120 origional hours with all rigging. These motors checked out perfect and are priced right. I realize the horse...

Hey Guys, I need opinions on repowering a '86 Sailfish. The boat currently has 90' 200 hp Johnsons. Considering repowering with new 175 Suzuki's, but not sure if spending that kind of money on a 25 year old boat is the right choice. I've been looking for a couple of years for used power and...

Thanks for the information posted so far. Plan on pulling the tanks soon and seeing what lies beneath. We replaced all of the fuel lines when the floor was recored three years ago and the tanks appeared to be in decent shape. But, with the new motors, we figured it would be worth spending a...

Looking for a few thoughts and ideas...We have a '86 Sailfish that is in need of repowering, rewiring and new fuel tanks. We are going with new Suzuki 175's on a notched transom. The boat is in great shape for the year model and the transom is fine, so we feel it is a worth reworking. The plan...

Thanks for the replys. Bob, you are right about these motors being a rare find. The HPDI's have been my first choice on the repower. These motors do not seem to be found on the used market. When they do come available, they are priced much higher, have many more hours on them, are usually...

Hey guys, I need a little feedback on a couple of repower options. My dad and I are planning to repower our Sailfish next year. Currently the boat has a pair of well used '90 Johnson 200's. We are have pretty much agreed on a pair of 175 Suzuki 4 strokes. Although the boat is 24 years old, it is...

I have a '86 Sailfish with original tanks and am looking for replacements as well. Any recomendations? Thanks!

Just checking to see if anyone here are running these on a Sailfish. Ideally I would like to go with 175's, but found a clean pair of used 200's for a good price. These engines are approx 580 + lbs. each so I would be outside the ideal weight requirement for the transom. More than likely will...

Hello Grady fans, We are going through the pains of replacing the thru hull fittings on a 255 Sailfish. The 1 1/2" fitting on the starboard side looks to be the biggest challenge so far. Any tips on the replacement would be appreciated. Also, what is the purpose of the center box between the...
