    Older Grady livewell/washdown Y diverter question

    Does anyone know what brand Y diverter they used in 1990 for the livewell/washdown pump? Or do you know of a brand that has a smaller assembly? Most are too large to get all the hoses to fit in the battery compartment on my 1990 Gulfstream. Thanks....

    Transom repair Tampa Bay area

    Well this sucks... When I got the last of the bottom paint off the transom I found an old transducer screw buried under it. When I pulled it the water started coming out and is still coming out 2 hours later. So needless to say I need a new transom, any recommendations for a repair guy in the...

    5 coats of bottom paint and it's not budging

    I have to much to sand off and it is not in the budget to get her blasted this yr. Is there a bottom paint I can just roll on over the old bottom paint. There is enough existing millage to where I could sand out the rough spots. I keep the boat on a lift so it really does not matter if it is...

    1990 232 livewell/washdown pump location

    It is starting to go out. It has always been very quiet and I have never seen it, so before I start tearing out hatches and floor panels, can someone do me a solid and let me know where it might be. TIA!

    Etec prop recommendation

    I recently repowered my GW 23 Gulfstream. It's the model with the notched transom. I figure with full load I am looking at 6500-7000 lbs. I repowered with a 2011 250 DPX. The dealer put on a 14 3/4 x 19 Viper. The boat is running great and fuel usage is great. But WOT is 5300 rpm, 36 mph. We...

    Gulfstream seat redesign?

    I have a older Gulfstream and my wife is wanting a better seat for her and my son. Has anyone put a wider seat on the passenger side or done a wrap around type of thing? I know if a wrap is done it will have to be a flip-up so you can get into the cabin. Post pics if you have. Thanks in advance.

    Has anyone replaced the early 90's windows?

    I have been nursing my windows as long as I could, both front and side window frames are about beyond repair. I know they are water bonnet brand. I have tried talking to their CS and it is not a big interest to the folks I have spoken to. 1990 Gulfstream.

    Repowering 1990 232

    My single 250 yam blew yesterday. I am probably going with etec. I was just wondering a couple of things. With the dropped transom what would be the least hp I could install a pair of 115 ho's or 130's? Not looking for speed, just economy and good cruise. Also would I have to get rid of my...

    Marine Tex

    I have alot of very small chips in my gelcoat. I was going to touch up with the Marine-Tex. My hull is very faded so would the white be a closer match or the light tan color. Also when I go to sand it down what grit paper. When it's all done I will compound the entire boat. Thanks

    1990 Gulfstream Horn wiring?

    The horn has been missing since purchase, so I found a horn that fits the old screw hole pattern as close as possible. When I pulled out the wiring I am totally at a loss. There are 2 reds and 2 blacks. Was there a double horn originally? There was only screw holes for 1 base. Thanks

    repower question

    My 1990 vx has taken a dive. The stator went out and we think it also shorted out the brain... I'm not happy about putting any more money in a engine with 1800+ hrs. Anyway I have been calling around and the best deals I can get now are on a pair of 150 Optimax or a single 300 Etec. My...
