Hi shawnod7, I saw your posting and wanted to ask if you'd be interested in a trade? I have a 2004 Edgewater 245cc that I was considering listing for $40-$45k with the thoughts of moving up to a Marlin. It has a 2006 Yamaha 250hp with a little over 600 hours. Let me know if you'd be...

From looking through pics online, mainly listings, it looks like ‘94-‘05 were the years of the built-in transom bench seat.

I’d only been looking at older models I guess. I didn’t even realize they had a folding seat in the newer ones. I like the built in seat that is cut into the transom. It sounds like you agree, RJTFD and Legend? I used to have an ‘88 and it was the straight across transom, with no seating...

Thanks for the replies. I looked at a 2001 (deal fell through) that had the transom seat, so I know it’s at least that old. Apologies, I should have put that in my original post.

Hi all, I know that the Gulfstream SV2 hulls started in 1992,. Does anybody know when they started with the built in seat in the transom? I don't know if it was the same year or later. Any info would be appreciated. I couldn't find a definitive answer. I'm hoping to get another Gulfstream...

Thank you very much for the opinions. Thats good to hear. The boat is in good shape, has a factory hard top and full curtains in good shape.

Any ideas on value?

I agree.

Sorry, that’d be important. It’s a 2001 YAMAHA OX66 SALT WATER SERIES 250HP INJECTED 2 STROKE with 3 BLADE CUSTOM TUNED Stainless Steel Prop. It’s a V series engine with Fuel Injection but NOT the HPDI.

NADA has it in the low $20s, but that seems high to me.

I’m looking at a 2001 Gulfstream with a 2001 OX66. The hull looks to be in great shape and the boat is very clean and has been lift kept its entire life. She got new gas tanks in 2014 has had all the lights upgraded to LED‘s and fairly low engine hours around 450. I forget the model but she has...

I was doing the final look-over before I put her in the other day and realized (by accident) that the steering wheel was completely loose. It spins endlessly in either direction with no resistance. I didn't know if it was perhaps a fluid leak problem or something else. I've heard that one...

BobP, Thanks for the response. That makes a little more sense...the formica. I'm not in any rush, probably won't do it until this winter, but that's some good info to have. Thanks again, I assumed it was going to be an unanswered post.

I'm not sure what it is called exactly, but it's the board that goes across the transom that has the (on my boat) 3 doors...battery door on left, oil tank door on right, and middle door for access to the bilge area, etc. A while ago, probably about a year ago, somebody posted pics of a project...

Ya, I agree. The parts shop told me for Yamaha you should do it every 2, maybe 3 years, and for Mercury every year.

I asked the dealership/part shop about it and they said it is from running dry. Whether from something clogging up the intake valves on the bottom of the motor or running it out of the water with bad earmuffs or something like that. This is my first spring with the boat, so I'm not 100% sure...

This past weekend I was working on my engine and got the impeller kit that Yamaha provides and found quite a problem. I've been having overheating issues, hence my changing the impeller. I found that the impeller itself was in fair shape, but the impeller housing had melted and the melted...

Thanks.

Not to pry, but do you mind me asking the price range for something like that? I have an '88 with the original gas tank and need to replace it. Where was the metal guy located? Thanks

I grew up on, and now own, a Gulfstream 232 with a single 225 on it and ski quite a bit in the summer. We pull ski's, even a grown man on a slolom (single ski...however you spell it), tubes, kneeboards, and wakeboards. It does great with a few people on the boat and towing 1 or 2 people, no...
