    WTB Rod holders

    Thanks, my initial post was probably not clear. Looking for a set someone has in their garage after upgrading or replacing. Don't care about brand. As long as they are functional, I don't care about shiny. Can't justify the new price of them for this project, and after a repower, my...

    WTB Rod holders

    Looking for rod holders for a truck bed project. Gunwale mounts, need 4-6, preference is 0 or 15 degree, but 30 degree will work.

    Jumping out of my skin - anyone else?

    Down to 3 weeks to go until May 1, the slated splash date. Bouncing off walls here, giddy with anticipation. Have to temper myself by repeating that May weather in New England blows... The first 10-20 hours will be tough to get through - break in period.

    222 Fly Rod Storage?

    Do you have a T Top? For those of us who don't have this model, having pictures of what you are working with can help provide better answers. Even if the models are different, sometimes a solution can be found from other models. That said, even on my 330, storing fly rods is a pain. I...

    life jacket netting

    Never done this task, and experience with other tasks has told me that there is always the hard way or ways, and generally the right, or easiest way. Thanks for confirming.

    life jacket netting

    The netting on my 330 is fine, but I keep looking at the cord holding it up, as it is getting brittle. In theory, replacing the cord should not be a huge deal, but there must be some tricks to the trade?

    New model Freedom 415

    I don't get the bow rider thing. For something 18 -22 feet, sure, nice layout. For something 30 or over, no thanks. Can't overnight in bow, can't really fish up there. Basically an express rear without any of the utility in front of a cabin or center console. And for 1.4 M? Wow...

    Rod holder spacing

    There are 3 rod holders in the gunwale on my 330 - the two factory holders, and one spaced halfway between them. Guessing this puts them about 15-18" apart. Want to add a 0* swivel holder, but ideally not in place of what is there already. My gut says that putting it between two of the...

    Offshore readiness

    Do similar to Gulffisher. Also carry extra racor filter elements, and a strap wrench for them, a funnel. Should have something to dump fuel into from a Racor, but don't keep it on board full time. Bunch of oil absorbing rags, too. Having plugs for various hose sizes is a good idea as well...

    Center rod holder 232 Gulfstream

    As noted earlier in the thread, I located a single on the outside of the transom. It is a bit of a long reach and awkward if that is the rod with the tuna on it. The gulfstream may not have quite the same reach, but for this reason, I decided not to add more on the transom. The other...

    Bow light replacement

    I replaced the bow lights on my express with the Perko Stealth LED lights a couple of years ago, and have been very happy with them. Not cheap at 180 bucks, but they have worked well, and were an easy install. EDIT: Just noticed there is a pair of these for sale on THT very nicely priced.

    Looking for used hardtop

    Probably be easier to sell your boat, and buy one with a top already on it.

    Poor Grady-White support for older boats.

    I have had several interactions with GW customer support for my 2003 all of which are completely counter to yours. But I'd be shocked if they have had a single fabric source or vinyl source for every model in every year. Colors change, vendors change, etc. Matching vinyl that has been in the...

    Repower 330

    @Flot followup question: what would going to the LCD touch screen provide that the plain ole gauges won't?

    Cup Holder Replacement 1995 Tournament 192?

    I understand we all have priorities, etc. but if 120 bucks for 6 cup holders is too much, perhaps boating is not for you. How much less then 20 each are you expecting to find replacements? at this point, anytime I can get something done on the boat for under 1k, I’m thrilled. I want to...

    Repower 330

    Many thanks. that space on mine seems to be occupied by the windlass controls. Not 100% sure there is room next to the drink holder. my screens are raymarine, not garmin.
