    Any 305 owners out there?

    I have a deal on a 2007 305 express. I'm looking at the Pursuit drummond, Pursuit 315 and 3070 express boat as well as the GW 330 express. Any input would be helpful. I sea trialed a 2007 GW 330 express with the 250's and would like a little more speed. Can't afford a new one with the...

    Cabin: Plastic Headliner cracks

    I looked at a 2000 265 express today. Clean boat but the cabins plastic headliner was cracked in several places. I inspected the hull, didn't see any damage. The only thing I can figure that did it was hull flex. It was cracked at the top entrance and over the bunk area. (really bad). Like...

    265 Express Replacement

    Hey Tim. Good luck with the snow. Here on Long Island we are supposed to get some snow, but not as much as you. Is moving the scuppers the only thing that needs to be done to put 4-strokes on? Is it a big job to move the scuppers up a few inches? And what year 265's need to have this done...

    265 Express Replacement

    gradyfish22 that was a great post. That really helped complete the different motor options. Your right, the hpdi's are a nice fit for the boat. I think the F-225 would be better just because of the oil factor, and better top speed. Also, with the engines so close to the fish deck, I could see...

    265 Express Replacement

    Maybe the F-250's are not a good choice for the 265 express if you plan on doing off shore trips. I'm in the same range as you guys, coming from Long Island. I might not get back in with 250 4 strokes. and the OX66's 250 must be a joke when it comes to fuel range.

    265 Express Replacement

    Also, the test with the 225's was with 160 gallons of fuel, 2 batteries, tools, safety gear and 3 people. 0-5 mph wind. Ice, full tank, bait etc, (normal off shore trips) the numbers will be change a great deal. But still excellent in my opinion.

    265 Express Replacement

    Do you think there would be a noticeable difference between Yam F-225 and F-250's on the 265? I know someone selling one with new F-250's.

    265 Express Replacement

    I'm going to checkout two 265 expresses this week. If I like the layout, I'll try and do a sea trial. From what I've heard on here and pictures, I think it will fit my bill for now and possible the next few years till I feel financially ready to make the move to the 330 express. I was at the...

    265 Express Replacement

    Thanks Tim. A great idea. Aside from the scuppers , the only real change I see on the newer model is the seats. The older ones can't be reversed.

    265 Express Replacement

    I was thinking the newer model so I could put 4 -strokes on it. But the E-tec's are a good idea.

    265 Express Replacement

    What replaced the 265 express? I really like the style and look of the 265 Express. I noticed that the last model appears to be in 2005. What replaced it? And Do you recommend buying the older model 265? 2001-2005
