Stray the back of the stripes a little soapy water. That'll give you a little extra time and movement in the stickers.

That boat almost looks like a late 80's vintage grady.. I have Ficht on my boat as well and they have been very good to us. That' being said, the worst of the worst Ficht are on that boat. The 60 degree Fichts from the late 90's were very problematic engines. The engines on that boat had...

The platform was hit by the previous owner. We removed it last fall and repaired a few corners over the winter. When mounting it this spring, we could not get it to line up properly while resting on bracket. Being its a 45 minute drive to the boat and it was getting late in the season, we...

I have a 2000 gulfstream with twin outboards. I just had the swim platform repaired and re mounted. Does the platform sit right on top of the outboard bracket? I could have sworn it did. After the re mounting the platform is about an inch above the platform. Everything looks very well...

I don't know the exact number, but being that the Yamaha F150's are 4 cylinder engines VS your current V6's, there's won't be a huge difference in weight. Also, you may want to look into the new Mercury 150hp 4 stroke's. They are close to 40lbs lighter than the Yamaha F150. Are you current...

Re: Single 250hp ox66 compared to t150's...Great Lakes 232 G I think you'd be fine with a single 250. We seatrialed a 232 with a 250HP Yamaha OX66 and the motor did fine. We have 4 people on board and about 1/2 tank of gas and it didn't feel like it was struggling to get on plane at all...

I don't know the exact measurement, but here is a picture I took of my 2000 Gulfstream (I believe there were no changes between 2000-2002). Anyway, the picture was taken from forward hatch looking towards the transom. If looks like there is plenty of clearance. Judging by the 2x4 that's...

Welcome! Congrats on your purchase!

I bought a 2000 Gulfstream with twin 200HP Evinrude Ficht engines last fall for $22K. Granted, these engines aren't worth much and have a bad rep. The boat has about 325 hours and was pretty much loaded with most options for that year (no trailer). Fantastic shape with not a single spider...

This exact same boat with trailer (except HPDI's have 400 hours) is for sale here in CT for $28,000 and has been at that price for a while. Realistically, I think it'll go for around $25,000.

I'm looking to buy 2 GPS/fishfinder units for my 2000 232. The boat is currently wrapped so I don't have access to measure. What size units can I fit side by side on that box? Would 2 Lowrance HDS-7's (7" screen) fit side by side? I understand all units are different but I'd like to hear...

As a precaution, I would remove anything attached to the transom (transducers, tabs..) that you can and reseal the holes. If you can't remove the engine, remove one bolt at a time, fill the hole with 5200, and retighten. Not too big of a job.

Definitely have the boat surveyed by a marine surveyor. The boat could be a great buy at $8500 or become a costly headache if there's rot. Those were pretty reliable engines. $2500 doesn't seem out of line for a rebuid.

Not much you can do about it now since you already bought the boat. I would however get the transom checked out for piece of mind. Grady's from that era are no more susceptible to transom rot then any other boat. Its not a Grady issue, its a wood/water issue. Any boat with a wooden transom...

Are you interested in selling the trailer? I might be looking for one for my Grady.

Congrats! We just purchased a 2000 Gulfstream as well. Too bad it started its winter nap this weekend. Can't wait till spring! We're in CT BTW.

Re: Looked at a Grady White and NEED help. Pics enclosed. The boat was surveyed this morning and the hull is bone dry. The surveyor used a moisture meter and thermal imaging. The engines also checked out. I sent pics of the bolts to Grady and they said its not of any concern. So we are the...
