I have a 282 and love the boat but small for sleeping. I am planning on something that fits better for an overnight. Most of my boating is west coast ocean fishing or touring social groups around the SF bay.

I repowered with suzuki 300’s on my 285 sailfish and placed the cavitation plate in the same horizontal plane as the bottom of the boat. No cavitation unless trimmed way up. I used a straight edge off the hull and that is how I decided which holes.

My 282 also has the ports at/under the waterline, especially with a full tank of fuel. I’m not sure the part but I’d suggest metal over plastic as I have seen plastic damaged while docking. A question, how are you managing to reach the clamps on the hoses? On the sailfish, these look like they...

Hey folks, I have a 2007 Sailfish and getting hassled by the wife that I don’t use it very much. It has new twin 300 Suzuki engines last year with 60 hours, all new Garmin electronics and has been well maintained. West coast (Bay Area) boat with a trailer. Last month it received new zincs, new...

Hi, I saw your Grady for sale. Can you please provide any additional details and desired price? Does it have a trailer?

Mine rides right at 14’ high from the top of my radar mount with my radar removed. My guess is the mount is around 6” high so you could guess with nothing on top 13’6”.

Congrats and welcome to the club!

This might be a silly question but is your boat connected to shore power? Unless you have an inverter on your boat, those 110v plugs don't work when not connected to shore power. On the water pump, are you sure you are using the fresh water pump and not the raw water pump? If the raw water...

I was seeing something similar and made a couple adjustments that helped a lot. First, I had started with a toe-in position of 1/2”. This means the front of the lower, measured from the pointy part, was 1/2” farther apart than the center of the prop shaft. This had me finding myself actively...

Mine were 2006s with 650 hours.

The new Suzuki 300’s are fantastic! I was out today doing adjustments on the toe-in and was looking at what I was getting for speed, rpm’s and fuel burn. At 3500 rpm, I was traveling 25.6 knots at 1.63 gph. Engines are quieter and get up on plane so much faster. Thanks for the recommendation!

Hey folks, check out the bolt that was holding my old outboard yo the transom. The new Suzuki 300’s show up tomorrow. New controls went in this past weekend.

I have the two listed on eBay and the current bid is 5100 for the both.

Thanks for that info. I have engines arriving some time this week and need to order props today.

Hi, can you please let me know what props you used?

I am also hoping you can share what props you ended up using.

Hi, what props did you use for those engines?

I spent way too much time looking at what the Suzuki uses for rigging last night. Coincidentally I just added another backbone cable to my N2K network, completing the replacement of all electronics network except the Yamaha bus. It looks like I am already most of the way there. While I am at it...

Where have you been seeing those engines? I’m definitely interested in saving that money if I can.
