I have 2000 Gulfstream 232 and thinking of replacing pulpit. Kind of beat up and I am not a fiberglass guy. Assume GW uses same pulpit on different models but not sure. Where have others gotten their replacements?

I have many pictures of my GW 232 but none on the water fishing. Trying to find something as close as my boat (hardtop, twin Yamaha's) that I can use for a logo on custom shirts for me and my boys for Christmas. Anyone have anything to share with a view from another boat or drone? Scanned web...

Got out to the boat and both batteries down where turning key was nothing. Charged back up and heard small noise coming from bilge. Appears the bilge pump might have drained batteries down. Disconnected pump wire and it of course stopped. Question is whether the pump or switch is most likely the...

Many camping rigs use anti sway bar hitches. Why not boat trailers?

Has anyone swapped out rear panel hatches on a 232 with larger hatches? I ask as my 2000 has square 13x13 flush mount doors to get to battery and fuel tank switches but can’t find them anywhere so thought the 13 width might be ok but just go up some. Not sure how much work it might be.

As I slowly clean up and make modifications to my 232, curious how many use their wipers while in the ocean. I have been a boater for over forty years on Lake Champlain and never had a need to use wipers - rain or shine. Will be retiring to the ocean at some point with the 232, and wondering if...

Been looking at previous post but not sure any thing was relevant. The “queen” never been fond on the 232 due to her throne being the rear seat and the backrest has come apart at the seams and the cushion is shot. Personally I never put in unless she is coming out but have been ordered to fix...

Both the livewell and storage lids on my 2000 232 have cracks at the hinges and really should be replaced. I have seen several posts on using existing as patterns but this really is out of my league. With folks having done it, what is the possibility of reusing/purchasing the patterns versus...

I was looking at pictures of other 232 twin setups and was puzzled so went back to a picture of mine. Knowing my engines were off the boat for repairs prior to my purchase, questioning whether the engines were replaced properly due to turn direction of the props (see attached picture). Here is...

As I continue to fix components on my 2000 Grady White Gulfstream 232, I am looking at my gauges. The fuel management gauge is impossible to read (like an ink pen leaked) and thinking of replacing the gauge. The speed gauge always shows 0 mph and not sure how the trip portion functions...

My boating woes continue. Between births, deaths and work there has been little time to play on the 2000 Gulfstream 232 with twin Yamaha 150’s. Last successful trip – only one all year – was taking my daughter-in-law and two grandsons around the bay for a quick ride. Boat ran well. Boat sat for...

Ok dropped in boat today. Started right up (yeah). Port engine pissing a nice stream, starboard not so much (boo). Not sure when impeller last changed on Starboard engine but Port was changed by previous owner due to other maintenance items. Is there anything to check before pulling boat (marina...

How do people work on the port engine right side when twins are present. My skinny you son is in Germany with his F35 squadron so he is out and I am well over 230# so not fitting between engines. Over the top? Minor work with control cables but worried of dropping clips and pins. Too late for a...

In another post there was a trailer that appeared to be undersized for a Grady White. My son and I have questioned the trailer I got with the boat last summer and want expert opinions. We would like to trailer from Burlington VT to Lake Ontario this August and want to be sure we are in a good...

When I purchased my GW 232 with twin 150’s last year I was told the starboard throttle and shift cable was replaced. Not sure why both weren’t done in pairs but that is another story. During the summer noticed both idle at the same rpm but when moving forward the port engine lags rpm’s (nearly...

I purchased a 2000 Grady White Gulfstream 232 last July. Boat previously was located in Maryland (now on Lake Champlain – Vermont side) and included outrigger poles. Never thought about how I might use them for freshwater trolling and after not see much on YouTube other than saltwater videos...

Purchased a used 2000 Gulfstream 232 last July with two Yamaha 2-cycle 150’s. Engines were sold with approximately 500 hours (owner supplied survey backing it) but when port engine needed work discovered both had just under 1200 hours. Not overly concerned and based upon year actual hours made...

Never had a boat with painted bottom. Been reviewing options on best method to clean bottom and scum line. Most Vermont power boats are not painted. Not sure I have found anything yet and wanted to reach out to those owners having a painted bottom. Tips?

Continuing my electrical updates to my 2000 Grady White Gulfstream 232. Boat previously was located in Maryland (now on Lake Champlain – Vermont side) and have been replacing many corroded electrical connections. Current project is to get the horn functioning and believe the issue resides with a...

Mounted Cannon Magnum 10STX’s on Gulfstream 232 and love everything but one thing - the auto stop causes way too much bouncing on the rigger arm and ball when reaching the surface. Thought of adding an eighteen inch section of wire from the plastic line stop to the ball to retain the ball well...
