You can get in trouble on a DIY if you don't pay close attention to the details

The key to a good paint job is prep. I sanded mine down and primed it myself. I ordered the high end spray paint in cans with the intent of doing it myself. ( a man has got to know his limitations) I ended up taking it to a body shop near where I live and they sprayed the base and two coats...

I should have at least 10 feet....I'll let you know.

Hey Donald... I sold the majority of it already. I am not sure what I will have when I get done but may have 10-15 feet left if you are interested. Ill let you know but wont be working this again until its a tad warmer so it will stick better. Jim

Fortunately I am married to a great seamstress who owns and operates a Sailright sewing machine. We ended up going with a full length shade cover that is open on the sides. It attaches by sliding into the rear track for the curtains and buckling at 3 points on the bottom. You are welcome to...

As Ky Grady mentioned, Yes it is quite pliable and I am having to remove mine along with the silicone I stupidly tried to fix it with. Heat gun and MEK solvent working well. It is the same as you described along with under the helm etc. sending you a PM

Ok... That leaves around 40 feet still available folks.

To avoid the Ebay 10 bucks a foot for stock GW vinyl trim I ordered a whole roll from the manufacturer. I've got about 70 to 80 feet left. It cost me around 2.50 a foot. I would like 3 bucks a foot( to cover the trips and time to the post office) plus shipping costs in at least 10 foot or...

So what was the final outcome? Mine fit perfectly from A n J.. I did notice though that when the guys installed them that they had to make a couple of snips at the end to make that precise.

The 225 is a solid engine if maintained and serviced well. I have 370 hours on two 2005s. On scoping the exhaust last year there was some minor corrosion bumps that made me decide to have the tuners on both replaced. One exhaust tuner looked normal and the other was so corroded it was pitted...

Yup...13.5-14.2 on most depending on bunk height.

Wow... You are going to have some serious length if you try hauling that 282 behind the rig. You will need an airport runway to refuel and a massively long boat ramp with radically shallow incline to not bottom out... but I love your attitude!

Love our Sailfish... Thought I drove a long way to Florida to get mine. Wow! Congrats!

I have the 282 now and enjoy it...but owned an 03 Marlin in 2004...not enough time to write all the things I loved about that boat

Any decent upholsterer will do a decent job...just be certain not to skimp on fabrics. These boats are all moist and need to have mildew resistant fabrics.

I think Mark had some various cushions left for a 232..also try Rusty Rons Marine Surplus in Morehead City NC. He buys large pallet loads of left over Grady parts from Grady. I bought my new helm seat and passenger helm bench from him at a decent price.

My buddy Mark parted out a '99 232 that was delaminated. I just called him...He has the starboard door with hinge available. He said to text him at 252-671-7852. He can text you pics...

For the small price dif...def. 250s.

I have done gel coat repairs and I have done some painting with Epoxy paint on a Whaler and Fortier. Getting gel coat to come out right is a work of experience and an art form. I just did a small repair on the Sailfish where I got a bolt scrape at the fuel dock. It took two tries using Grady...
