    SeaDek

    Has anyone installed this in their cockpit and helm ? Just received my template kit. My non-skid is fine but I'm liking the look of the teak colors. From what I have read it holds up and cleans well. I must admit I am a bit reluctant to pull the trigger since once it is stuck there is no...

    Teak & Holly cabin sole fabrication

    A few years ago I posted images of the Teak and Holly cabin sole that I fabricated for our 98 Sailfish 272. When we upgraded to a Marlin 300 last August the first thing my wife requested is that I fab the same for the Marlin. This was easy to accomplish in our shop but a fairly easy " do it...

    Best we can do......Evinrude G2's / Marlin300

    3850 rpms This appears to be the sweet spot of the Marlin 300 hull powered with Evinrude G2 250's . I really don't think that 300's would make a difference with this hull design. I have found that bumping the cruise speed up to 33 mph and rpm's to 4000 yields a burn of 20.7 which is a gallon...

    Marlin 300 - Evinrude G2 * Updated 4/1/15

    Hello all, Ever since my thirty minute ride on a 32' Andros CC equipped with twin 300hp Evinrude G2's at the Fort Lauderdale boat show this fall, I seriously thought of jumping the good ship Yamaha. My six friends and I were onboard with a G2 engineer / captain who took us on a amazing...

    2000 Marlin 300 re-power

    Hi everyone, I'm closing a deal on a 2000 Marlin 300 with the original 250 OX66's and am thinking the re-power route. I was just quoted 52K plus tax for a reposer with new 2014 Digital control F250's. They are lighter than the older Offshore version. They offered $1,500 for each of the OX66...

    330 Express opinions

    Hello everyone, A upgrade has been on my boating mind this spring. I currently own a 98 Sailfish 272 and have been thinking " more boat". I have been back and forth between switching to a Downeast style JC 31, 31 Duffy etc. or remaining a Grady guy and moving up to a 330 Express. Our...

    Twin NSS8's built in my 272 Sailfish

    While waiting for my hull to be soda blasted prior to barrier coating I took advantage of the rain an got a jump on my electronics upgrade. I chose the lower electronics box for the home of the two Simrad NSS8's. They just fit but will need modification to the liner panel inside the box. I...

    Radar mount

    Hi all and Happy Holiday! I just received my Simrad 3G radar and Simrad NSS8 from Boe Marine (great experience!) and am now focusing on the proper mount. I've been looking at Seaview and Edson aft angled 10" mount after reviewing the suggested mounting locations (10" above a 6'6"+ wide...

    Sailfish coaming pads / transom seat reupholstering

    Replacement of the badly weathered coaming pads and transom seat was an item that I had used during negotiations of our newly purchased '98 Sailfish 272. After a few quotes in the $ 2,400.00 range I decided to tackle the job myself and shift the savings towards engine service work on the twin...
