    Gulfstream side "wing" glass replacement

    Hey all, I managed to shatter one of the small vent triangle side glass windows(part of the windshield wrap) on my boat this past weekend. Anyone know where I can find one of these or am I looking at contacting a local custom glass company? Boat is 2001 Gulfstream 232, only the port side is...

    prop ? Gulfstream with a F225

    Well the prop showed up yesterday so I ran down to the marina after work and swapped it out.....I cannot believe what a drastic difference it made! I could instantly feel a better bite just putting it in gear pulling out of the slip. She jumped up on plane in at least half the time/distance from...

    prop ? Gulfstream with a F225

    I bought the 15x15 prop from prop gods. I’ll get it on this upcoming week and report back with results. I did ask Ken about the 4 blade but he was concerned about an already low horsepower to weight ratio and said the 3 blade will have plenty of grip.

    prop ? Gulfstream with a F225

    Wow that thread is very eye opening. I’m definitely a believer in the 15 pitch prop now. I guess the 250 guys are running the 15 3/4” version due to extra power and Ken at prop gods recommended the 15” for the lesser power of my 225....either way it sounds like I’m in for a real improvement. Thanks!

    prop ? Gulfstream with a F225

    Yea he suggested the q3 which is equivalent to a mercury enertia. Definitely don’t want to put anymore strain than I need to on the motor and the fuel burn in 4 trips has been less than desirable.

    prop ? Gulfstream with a F225

    Hey all, I want to hear from you past/present guys with gulfstreams with single Yamaha F225s. I’m running a 14 1/4x17 ss prop and I’m cruising at 5500 rpms 27-29 mph. Not really fast to get on plane and having a hard time staying there under 5k. Best top end I’ve seen is 34.xx mph @6100 rpm...

    Buying an “underpowered” gulfstream

    Hey all, I’m new here. Longtime Grady fan but never an owner until maybe now with a little help from some of you with experience.... I’m hunting for a gulfstream. I’ve got 3 kids 1,7,10 so the gulfstream really fits our needs. Great fish ability, roomy with the wide beam, and a nice cabin for...
