The only one of those I would consider is the one with the hpdis. In my opinion spending thousands of dollars on the old technology 2 strokes is a bad idea. I know people will disagree with me but 1990 something ox66s really have little to no value. If I was buying one of those boats I would...

You can order one from a grady dealer, but I think the switch itself is made by Perko. Also check the fuse in the electronics box. The dome light and the spreader lights were wired to two different fuses on the block in the box. I replaced a perfectly good switch before I figured that out...

My aux tank gave up the ghost and my main tank can't be too far behind as they are both 17 years old. I am planning on replacing them both along with all the lines this offseason. I have a recommendation for a tank fabricator in my area. My question is do you guys think the install is a job I...

I don't necessarily need 200 gallons. I would like the largest that would fit. Maybe a 175? That would be plenty. I am sure with all the sailfishes around that this must have been done before. If you took the shape of the 150 gallon tank and just extended the aft end to take up some of the space...

Am looking to replace my original gas tanks with a single tank around 200 gallons. Of course I would change all the fuel lines as well. Can anyone advise me on what a fair price would be for this job and perhaps any recommendations for someone in the North/Central Jersey area. Thanks.

Both worked at the end of last season, now they don't turn on. My switch is on the dome light under the hardtop which also has the switch for my courtesy lights--they work but the spreaders don't. Since both spreaders don't work I am thinking the switch is bad. Can I buy something at West marine...

RESALE...go with a SeaV2

Anybody know what company made the helm chairs for my Sailfish in 1993? I have to replace the pedestal on one and I can't find hardware that fits. Help appreciated...

I love my 255 which has the rare notched style transom as I fish off of the stern 90% of the time. The full transom with the bracket is also nice for keeping water out of the boat, but a bit more dangerous should a large amount of it ever get in. The Eurotransom is my least favorite as it seems...

I have 19" pitch mirage props right now and get get only 5000 rmps at WOT. I plan on swaping them out for 17" in the future. Too many things on the list for this season already. On my previous rig I had a single 200 hpdi and went from 19 to 17 and gained about 400 rpms and had much improved...

15 1/4 diameter 17" pitch...I am speeking from experience this should get you to about 5500 rpms at WOT.

I don't really have the vehicle to trailer it either. As far as a mooring, I have considered it, but am not sure I want to go that route. I keep the boat plugged in with shore power when in the slip which keeps everything topped off after a long trip and I would lose that with the mooring. I...

I posted a report after my first season with my Sailfish and had overall very positive things to say about it. I figured I might as well update eveyone on my impressions after season two, now that she is out of the water and up on the hard for the long Northeast winter. I continue to be...

I have the exact same problem. I am curious to hear the responses...

I have about 30 gallons of gas in my aux tank which needs to be pumped out. Does anyone know if the tank has baffles in it that would get in the way of pumping the gas out?

I don't think 17k is a bad price, but I think 17k is a lot of money to spend on a pre SeaV2 hull and old technology motors. Since you asked, that is my opinion...

I don't know about the I/O version of this boat, but at $25k you are not too far away from being able to afford a repowered outboard version of the sailfish. Hell, I would be willing to let mine go for 30k and it has the Sea-V2 hull, new electronics, and 2003 Optimaxes. Look around and you might...

That was me who posted about the 255. I agree with the above posters about the handling. I tested this in the middle of my home port of Forked River. Turn the wheel hard over to starboard, put your port motor in forward and your starboard motor in reverse (slightly higer rpms) and the boat spins...

... Well 10% down subject to seatrial and survey are SOP on how boats are sold through brokers. If you are uncomfortable with that, tell the broker. I am sure you can come to an agreement. $100, $500, $1000, whatever the broker will accept as proof you are bonafide and to hold the boat for you...
