Thanks, that's a great idea. Sei in Sardegna adesso?

GW customer service was helpful and sent me a link to all their prior website photos, which they had archived.

Thanks, but I think the swivel chairs with footrests and flip-up bolsters are standard for the captain and mate.

Let's suppose an oldster no longer has the best back and will want to lean against the bolster most of the time underway, relying on knees for shock absorbers. But the knees, while better than the back, aren't what they used to be either. This is more of a sports support type question rather...

Still waiting for delivery in mid-July. I previously saved the spec sheet and options from the GW website, but I waited too long to download images. Went on line this evening to save some images, but the Gulfstream already has been removed from the list of walkaround cabin models. Suppose...

The Seafarer is a great boat. I like it much better than the Adventure. I would be very happy in or near Langley. My wife tends to prefer less rural living. (Not quite "Green Acres," but leaning that way.) Our Venn diagram sets intersected on Bainbridge Island, and that's where we're going...

The results are in, and directly from Grady-White, the Gulfstream 232 does indeed meet the "five net tons" condition for Coast Guard title documentation. From the manufacturer, the specific dimensions of that model used by the Coast Guard are 23.29' L x 9.06' B x 4.47' D. Per 46 Code of...

Yes, Jacobsen's. Been a pleasure working with them.

You expressed the very reasons I wanted the Gulfstream for my retirement move to the PNW. Couldn't afford the larger Marlin or Express, so the Gulfstream hit the sweet spot for me.

It was his best seller at his dealership. In Seattle. Pacific Northwest. Not balmy southern weather, but they don't have to pull their boats for the winter either.

Thanks, I'll get clarification, likely from the dealer first, who recommended this bank as having experience with boat financing generally and Grady-Whites in particular. Hopefully I'm not the first having to deal with this issue for the Gulfstream, which the dealer says has been his...

Here's the Coast Guard form for simplified measurement. I'm doubtful that a 9'3" beam is enough width to be able to qualify using this form. Still wondering if a Gulfstream or other similar boat on the smaller side has managed to qualify. I sent an e-mail to Grady-White to inquire.

Thanks. I could get to Victoria, BC in a few hours of cruising.

The lender offers a better interest rate for federal documentation. Extra security in identifying title for their lien over state registration. Yes, all recreational.

The lender has requested federal (Coast Guard) documentation for a new Gulfstream 232, even though the boat also will be registered in Washington State. The Coast Guard Regs allow for documentation of a recreational boat if it is at least "five net tons," but the calculation is not...

Never tried those square, clear plastic cages, made for diving. I have wondered, though, whether this half dome, held halfway above and halfway below the water, might make for some interesting shots of netting and release. GoPro camera dome

Thanks again to all for the info. I've tried to hold a GoPro underwater, just on a float handle, but the water is not clear enough where I have fished. I'll be retired soon (about a year more of work, but slowing down), so will have more time to try different cameras / mounts on my own boat...

Thanks for the additional info, and the photo of your camera / external battery setup. That's looks like it would be a good solution if turns out wiring isn't easy. It's interesting that you got Anker power bank to work. Maybe GoPro fixed the way the camera "reads" the external power with...

Thanks. I'm looking for wired external power so that I can record all day without changing internal batteries. If I can get it rigged up, I won't have to pay attention to when that camera needs a new battery, or risk missing any action. Another GoPro will stay on my cap, with an external...
