Just back from the boat show with the family. All my girls are loving those folding rear seats on similar-sized boats like the Albie 27DC’s set up. Anyone done this? I’d love to have a removable option so I can take it out when I’m fishing. FWIW we’ve tried the bean bag route and the cockpit...

I have the brochure, and I figure I am at about 9000-10000lb wet. Has anyone weighed one? May have to look for a new tow vehicle and the Suburbans and Expeditions are are 9300 ish towing capacity. Only tow around town for service, hurricane haulout, occasional 2hr pull to OBX. She’s a plus sized...

Ordered in Oct, dropping her off Friday, I’ve seen some great info from Skunkboat, Tile Wave and others. Wanted to list my biggest questions here but feel free to add any other suggestions/Knowledge for this set up. 2001 265 Express. 880 hrs on rig. Coming out of 200 HPDI’s: 1. Mounting hole-...

I replaced the aluminum bang plate on my 01 265 Express when I bought it in 2018. Waiting on new motors and want to redo or replace. Option 1 is to go back to GW and reorder their plastic bang cap. Option 2 would be to configure a Stainless piece and put over this existing piece. Thoughts? Here...

So, just found out one of my 01 200 HPDI’s has low compression on Cylinder 1 . Scoped it and looks like corrosion thru the cylinder wall . Be glad to post a pic. 880 hours and was running like a scalded dog right up until it wasn’t. Std motor is fine I know some of you guys are running 200...

Not even sure what it’s called but the original one left with the window . Got a new window now I need one of these, haven’t been able to find one:

Guys, I am looking for a flip up foot rest suggestions for my 265. I put the 6 inch extension so I can see better but now I need some type of low profile flip up foot rest. TIA for any suggestions!

All, Just replaced the senders on my two tanks in my 2001 265. The Aux tank sender was original and the replacement went in with no problems. The main tank sender was not original. I had a bear of a time with one of the bolts and ended up pulling the threaded insert out of the tank with the...

2001 model year, bought it 3 years ago. We pulled the floor and changed fuel lines when we got it. It doesn’t have external fuel vent, looks like it vents to the tank? Anyhow, can’t get more than 30 or so gallons in either tank. Seems like it’s getting worse. Doesn’t matter if I am fueling at...

Anyone running one? What’s the story behind this model, don’t see many.

265 owners. Just had a lift installed and the installer asked me to contact GW to get the correct spacing for the lift bunks. I’ve tried CS thru the website, and left a message as well. Can anyone tell me what the correct spacing for the bunks and if you angled them inward any? TIA

Chasing the same gremlins as the guy on the Jasbco thread, but I have a 265 Express . How do you access the tank/pump? TIA

As much as I don’t want to consider one, an Elevator lift might be my only option, due to my location. Any experience with one? I have a 265 now and maybe the biggest I could go in my creek might be a Marlin or 305. I hear they’re substantially more expensive and a lot more finicky, any info...

So, My creek was recently dredged and we’re finalizing the new dock/lift design. I currently have a 265, but one day hope to move to a 305. Do you think a 14k lift would be enough for a 305? Could a 12k work? I can’ find the weight of a 305 . TIA, SeaVee

Still figuring out this boat, and got a couple newbie questions. It is a 2001. My switch in the Head doesn’t look like it’s getting any power, I get nothing when I push those buttons. Apparently my tank is full because I noticed a little seeping out of the vent, so I guess I need to pump it...

All, I have a 2001 265 Express with 2x200 HPDI’s (‘01’s). Boat has a 130 gallon main tank and 120 Aux tank. The Speedo on the Yami gauge suddenly started working last week and around the same time my Aux fuel gauge went south. It will read correctly for a second or two, then the “bars” will...

Currently have a 265, I don’t see myself going any bigger than maybe a Marlin or 305. Ready to order my lift , but there’s a big jump in piling placement and lift cost when you jump from a 12k lift to a 16k lift. Would a 12k lift be enough for a Marlin? Interested to hear from Owner’s what you...

Defender has a nice deal going now for Lewmar steering Wheels with power knob. What size do I need, 13.5 or 15.5? TIA

Need to have them redone, how do you safety remove them? TIA,

All, My new to me Grady white 265 , will be spending the rest of the winter in the water, since my lift isn’t installed yet. Any tips? Need to drain my fresh water tank, I guess, and what about the head? Any benefit to putting a small electric heater in the cabin? TIA, SeaVee
