When I first got my 265, I would use care lowering the fold down transom. It seemed like if something were to happen to the hydraulic shock that it could guillitene your foot off. Tow weeks ago I was in a hurry and pulled the fold down out of it's detents to lower without putting my leg next to...

No way. I captained mine around Vancouver Island last year with only about 100 hours under my belt with my 265. I was in every different kind of sea and had nothing of the sort. cscott

I was told that the 250 should have noticeable difference if ran with higher octane fuel. I think it is much more available at marinas on the east coast. Out here in the NW there it is rare to find super unleaded fuel on the water. The 250 will run on the lower octane, but you don't get the HP...

I got an '04 265 about 3 months ago and have used it more than I used my other boats all of last year. It's been a blast. Had it out in every major windstorm this winter, fun. It's outstanding to fish out of. Have been catching a fair amount of salmon on it. I would recommend this boat. If I...

Can you even see logs? Birds sitting on the water? What does it have a difficulty picking up? It sounds great. The one thing I notice with even high end Night Vision is that my eyes get strained and after looking through them it takes a while for my eyes to adjust back to ambient. I'm...

Good point. I have seen some of the night vision work and they are really good. Portable too. Any idea how the night vision works looking through the windshield and SGlass?

Thanks a bunch. That's good news. I have got to see this stuff. I sure am glad someone is letting us know their experiences with it. Dependability will be a huge factor if anyone has info on that....... Thanks again! scott

I think Seattle boat show begins Jan 24. I'm going to do same and a friend of mine is trying to get me onto a boat with it and I think it's a few years' old. I'll let you know what I find. It looks like not many people are interested. Must be that radar fills the bill for the most part. I'm...

I am very interested to know if FLIR really works as some of the demos show under actual conditions. I have read some things on the forum but nothing very conclusive. Please share if you know. I do not want to rely on reps at the boat shows and such and there doesn't seem to be much of it...

I wish I had the opportunity to see that one.This one was actually a new left over 2004 from NJ. No electronics or anyting and had a couple of gelcoat dings on the bottom of the hull where a stand had dinged it. Full warranty and the whole bit. I think I got a good deal and the dealer has been...

I think I could have learned that there are two manual fuel switches the hard way. Makes sense and that's been part of my problem. Both tanks being drawn down simultaneously..... explains alot. I'll hit the rocker switch and now that I am not drawing off both tanks, will see it working. Thanks a...

Thanks Pete!!!! I'll try that and let you know how it goes... DJ- Please let me know if it's different than that on our 265's. I've been really enjoying this boat to say the least. Very nice.... It's still in the water and any time!!! I got the snaps fixed and a mooring cover and some...

I've been playing with my new 265 (thank you for the amazing amount of help I got from folks here!!!!!). I cannot tell if the fuel gage is reading for the main or the auxilary tank. The manual does not tell. I tried switching the valve and the gage still reads the same. So far it SEEMS to me...
