I Have a 2008, 232 with twin 150's. We have two boys ages 18 and 16 who love to fish as well as tube and wake board. They do not do much skiing. The 232 works GREAT for pulling a tube around, no problems at all doing this and the wake is fun to play with. My 16 yr old weighs about 150 lbs...

We purchased a new 232 with twin 150's in Jan of 2008. Our Grad come with a hardtop, outriggers, windless, and electric head (no trailer). We paid about $92K and felt that we got a pretty good deal (but that was back in early 2008). We put another $4k in electronics so we have about $96k...

without placing blaim on the admiral, with a chilly November breeze here in VA, someone pulled very hard on the aft zipper curtin and ended up beaking off a tooth of the zipper. I can not seem to get the zipper to move past the broken tooth, so the aft curtin will only zip down about half way...

I have a 2008 - 232 with twin 150s. I struggled for a long time to decide between the twin 150s and 200's but decided on the 150's. 90% of the time I am very happy with the 150's. The other 10% of the time I wish I had more HP to run back to port. But I do wonder how the extra weight would...

the following link will take you to an interesting tale about a lucky person who fell out of a boat coming back from an off shore fishing trip in Va. Beach. the video is great to view as I can only imagine how I would feel. I just showed this video to my 15 yr old son, to remind him why we...

I have a 2008 232 gulfstream with twin 150's put 90 hrs on here last year and have no regrets with the purchase. Its been a great boat!

about 12 months ago, I posted almost the same question as the original poster (jpclarlie), except I was committed to twins and torn between 150's and 200's. I ended up getting a 2008 with T-150's, mainly for the following 3 reasons: 1. I felt that where I boat most often (Ches. Bay), I would...

thanks again for the input into my problem. We after burning off about 30 gallons of fuel (2.5 hrs at 70% throttle), I went to the fuel pump. I started pumping slow and could see gas spilling out of the interior vent tube and back into the main fuel hose (as noted before the interior vent tube...

I believe JUST-IN-TIME 228 got it right. I keep pretty good track of fuel usage and I feel sure the tank was about 1/2 full when I was trying to add fuel with the 5 gallon container (tank holds 150 gallons, so I should have been able to add 50+ gallons with no problem). In looking at the...

thanks for the feedback on my problem. When I got to the boat today, the fuel was still up to the top of the fuel line. It did not go down even an inch in 24 hrs. Optomistic, it was a vapor lock, we let the motors run about 20 min. at the dock and noticed that the fuel level went down about...

I sure hope someone can help me out on this one. I have about 70 hrs on twin 150hp -4 stroke Yamaha's, on a 232 Gulfstream (2008). To date it has run GREAT! I have kept the boat in a boatel since new. With the Christmas Holiday the boatel was closing for 5 days. With the weather looking...

I had a 5 yr old 208 GW that was destroyed along with 500 other boats in a fire at a boatel in VA. Beach back in the year 2000. They never determined the cause of the fire, but one thing that came out was that the boatel fire protection did not meet current/reasonable standards. The boatel...

I have a 2008, 232 with twin 150 4-strokes. The previous boat I owned was a 2005 24ft Robalo W/A with a single Yamaha 225. I only owned that boat for 11 months with the main reason for selling being, was in my opinion, the Robalo was under powered (WOT at 32 MPH and crusing speed of 24 mph)...

you guys from further up north are making me feel glad to live in VA. Just topped off the tank yesterday at Oceans Marine in Portsmouth Va. at $3.85 (that included a 10% discount for annual dry storage customers). I have been saving my receipts, as I recall in VA. we get a rebate of...

Can someone help me increase the idle setting of my twin yamaha 150's (4 strokes). I recently performed the 20 hr service for the motors (and thanks for all the comments on this site about crush washers,- comments were greatly appreciated - I recently installed a new crush washer). My...

When my 150 HP; 4-stoke yamaha's hit their 20 hr service needs, I got a quote of $550 from the marina where I keep our Grady to perform this service. Looking at the required effort, the main task seemed to be chaning the engine oil and the gear oil. So... I took the plunge and did it myself...

we have a 232 with twin 150's. We cruise 40% of the time , fish 40% and tube/wake board the other 20% . While I am not sure how it would do pulling up a skiier, our grady has no problem pulling up my two sons (130 and 150 lbs)- one at the time of course, on the wake board. Definetly, not...

While I did not post the original question, I found the responses very informative. I can say that when I was working the deal to purchase the 232 from Norfolk Marine, I asked why with all the upgrades that came standard with the boat that they used alluminum props. My assumption was that...

Hate to admit it, but with only 10 hrs on our 232 with twin 150's, I was heading to a crabing spot I had been to a few times before in the Lafeyette River in Norfolk Va. Before I knew it, I was in 3 feet of water and the props were digging into the mud. I cut off the motors fast and got out of...
