I currently have Lee Jr bases and original poles on my Grady 272 Sailfish. The poles are the originals from the late 90s and need replacement. (1) I don't want to spend a ton of money and (2) I'd like to get collapsible poles to make transport and storage a little easier. I've search the...

I’m replacing all my nylon thru hulls and scuppers with stainless ones and while down inside the bilge saw these cracks in the “stringers” that the metal transom reinforcing brackets are bolted to. It’s a strange "stringer" in that its only about 12 inches long and tabbed into the trim tab...

I took my boat out today to go fishing and test my new electronics and one of my plastic fish boxes drain thru hulls broke off. It’s a pain to get to but a pretty simple fix. However, I can now see that the inside coring of my hull side is complete mush. I press the side and it does flex. It...

I'm headed to the Ft Lauderdale boat show later this week to do my final electronics shopping and plan to install new electronics in November. Right now, unless I see something very compelling at the boat show my plan is to install a Garmin GPSMap 1243XSV with the radar bundle and add the Garmin...

Anyone with a late 90's 272 Sailfish ever replace their aft bilge pump and float switch? If so, how did you access it? From the hatch opening to the bilge is 36” and even standing on my head in the hatch I can’t even touch the top of the pump much less get to the pump. Actually, the pump works...

I have a 97 272 Sailfish. That materiel that is stuck to the steps (padding\nonskid) leading down into the cabin is starting to peel up. Its dirty and ugly and I'd like to replace. I don't even know what you call the stuff. Does anyone know if you can purchase replacement "stuff" from Grady...

I purchased a 1996 27 Sailfish with 2004 Honda 225s. After taking it out a few times I’ve noticed that the Starboard engine seems to have a cavitation issue. The engine is constantly changing RPMs when on plane as if the prop isn’t biting. The port engine does not seem to have an issue. I...

Hello all, I purchased a 1996 272 Sailfish with 2004 Honda 225s yesterday. When I take delivery in a couple of weeks I'm sure I'll have jillions of questions. One thing both I and the mechanic I used to check out the boat noticed right away is that the engines get very wet during the...
