Decided to save myself a few bucks and changed the oil in my F150's myself. Spent $120 on 12 quarts of oil (damn!) and $60 on yamah filters. Draining oil was relatively easy and with the crank case empty and the filter upside down..should be no problem right..wroong..filter was still half full...

Hello Gents, I bought a 1990 230 Gulfstream in the fall and picked up a Garmin GPS/sounder combo to match what the previous owner removed but left the transducer behind...it worked OK, but is on the small side and with the boat shows coming up, I am thinking about picking up something...

Hello Gents, I just dragged my pop's boat 1365 miles to the Keys and I can't get the engine to start..which is very odd for this motor. As I do every year when I tow it down here for dad, I hooked up the battery, hooked up and the water and hit the key....for 6 years it has fired right up..I...

Hello Gents....after a few weeks of refurbishment and ensuring that all critical systems are "sea worthy"...I made it out side of the inlet ...trolled up a nice fat keeper striper and one of the fattest bluefish I have seen....great day in my new-to-me 23 Gulfstream.....

Hello Gents, While chasing a broken ground wire, I removed the rear access panel and exposed the fuel filters and the fuel primer pumps and some really gross stuff growing in this area...not to mention a 1/2" of corrosion ontop of the filter housings....anyway, it was a good thing I did as some...

Has anyone out there replaced the tackle boxes in a Gulfstream. I had to pull out the starboard 2-drawer tackle box in order to replace the helm pedestal and the tackel box fell apart. I am sure I am not the first with this problem. Has anyone found a good replacement? I had to glue the 2 boxes...

Hello Folks, I just officially joined the family this weekend with the purchase of a 1990 230 Gulfstream with a pair of 2004 F150 Yamaha's. I had a nice uneventful 30 mile cruise down the Jersey coast from the sellers house to my dock. Despite having owned the boat for 19 years, he knew very...
