    Grady White Sailfish or CC restoration

    I had the fuel injected ox66 on my 01' never had a problem. The boat was great but I would definitely be concerned with water intrusion on something that old.

    Gulfstream 232 or Journey 258 ??

    Most of the journey's I've seen listed come with a 250hp instead of twins. Been on several never ridden in one. The gulfie will do a little better then your numbers posted above with 150's

    Upgrade: fishing and family?

    My first boat was a 208 then a 272 and now a 232, all cabin boats. As stated above it's nice to have a decent head, a place to nap but especially a place to change. After a swim I'm in the cabin changing into dry clothes. I think getting something large then the 208 would be a huge upgrade not...

    Need Some Help Locating Where My Boat Leaks From.

    Agree with reelserious. Probably coming from the bow and may not be saltwater.

    Gulfstream 232 w/ twin 150 F150 TXRD - too many hours?

    I think you might find that boat to be an aberration rather than a reference point. . Having looked at the 232 for years that boat was priced REALLY LOW.

    Gulfstream 232 w/ twin 150 F150 TXRD - too many hours?

    The boat your looking at is high. The one in Naples is very low if legit. Would jump on that if still available

    232 Gulfstream trailering

    Good luck I think you will be happy with either. Will tell you the 232 will feel quite a bit bigger than the 258. I would also consider the 265

    232 Gulfstream trailering

    Towing capacity of the Tundra is around 9,500. Not sure what the total weight of the boat and trailer is, I have a single yahmaha 300. I really don't feel like towing it is a big deal at all, although I mostly tow it around town. I do wish sometimes I had a bigger vehicle when I'm unloading it...

    232 Gulfstream trailering

    I Tow mine all the time with a Tundra. I know its back there but you get used to it. Some of the ramps in my area are more challenging than the towing. No one bothers me about the width.

    Gulfstream- Rod Rack

    Installed Taco transom rod holders last week. Working out great. The biggest benefit in the transom mount is trailering. I can leave the rods in the holders without worrying about hitting anything. Lost a good rod and my home cable wire leaving a rod in the hard top rod holders. If anyone is...

    2000 265 express ox66 4 blade prop

    I told Ken that my motor sits a little low so naturally wanted something with stern lift. My other requirement was lower planning speed. Huge difference. The four blade really lifts the stern out of the water. The wake it produces it totally different. I was having a hard time staying on plane...
