    curved windshield on a 265 express

    Hi Legend, I went to Ocean Dynamics out of Florida, They give you a method of templating the inside corners of the frame prior to removing the portion of the frame with the broken glass and you send them your frame and send them the frame and templates. They are extremely professional and have a...

    My new to me 2004 265 Express

    I do see some slow speed wander as well but nothing that bothers me. Mines a 2003 with 2016 Suzuki 225's (white). With no Isenglass and two full tanks myself and my son we got 53MPH on dead flat water. Put up the isenglass and that takes a chunk off your top speed but when do you realistically...

    curved windshield on a 265 express

    I agree with you skunkboat it's going to hurt but not as much as it hurt waking up and looking out my window at the boat (which was in the front yard being readied for the water) and seeing the exploded glass. I'm willing to pay for my mistake it's just that it's hard to find. SeaVea I first...

    My new to me 2004 265 Express

    Realistically in a (real) 2'-3' chop I stay at about 30 knots nothing over that. I'm talking a solid chop. I've read some people run 35-40 but to me you just end up airborne too much

    My new to me 2004 265 Express

    Very nice boat, I have a 2003 and love it. I don't have the tenderness issues with it heeling over like a lot of people write about but I believe that's due to the deadrise change in 02 to 03. I also find it rides better a little faster in a good chop but watch for that one bigger wave she'll go...

    curved windshield on a 265 express

    I pretty much figure the answer here is no but does anyone know of a source for the curved (port) section of windshield for a 265 express? Yes I broke mine. there is a place that will make it out of an acrylic but it's expensive and I'd rather put the money towards real glass. The story of how I...

    Control cable length on a 265 Express

    Hello, I want to change the control cable on my starboard motor on my 2003 265 Express and I've looked at the cable and the length isn't show. The cable has a very tight radius at the engine and I believe it is too short. This prevents me from pulling the control box out too far so I want to...

    new member 265 express backing up question

    I agree there's less dealerships that carry them so I'm limited on service options. I still have 2-1/2 years left on the warrantee but here's to hoping I don't need it. Once I had the Yamaha's fixed (mid section corrosion) they did fine by me on my last boat. I found the oil change to be a pain...

    mashpee ma fishing

    I was wondering what fishing was available if I went to the northern tip of Nantucket and headed north. I know it's a haul but the boat has the fuel capacity and if I picked my day right. Other than that tuna would be top on my list. I fish them out of cape Ann here. Thank you Tim

    Possible Re-power 07 Marlin

    Hello, I can't comment on your boat as I have a 2003 265 Express but it was re powered with Suzuki's (225's though) in 2016 and I love them. I've had the yamaha 225's and like the Suzuki's a lot better, quieter, easier to change the oil on, you can just grab the oil filter it's not hidden away...
