Boat Name "Mr Chips".
Grady-White Marlin 280.
Model year 1993. Twin Evinrude 225 Ocean Pro mod yr 1998.
Located in the Cesme Peninsula, close to Izmir - Turkey, in the Central Aegean Sea.
Planning to repower with Evinrude E-TECs asap.
Bought the boat in 2001 from her previous prime owner C. Beard.
One of the four G-Ws in Turkey that I know so far.
We have a 2002 Gulfstream that we purchased in August of 2021. We repowered in 2023 with new 4 stroke 150 Yamahas. The boat handles sea conditions very well and we sail from from Point Judith RI. Her name is Current $ea.
I have a 2003 330 Express, purchased her used in early 2011, progressively moving up from a Boston Whaler and two smaller Gradys. Changed name to "Start Me Up" and she lives in Newport Beach, CA. Re-powered in 2021 with twin 4.2 liter 250 Yamahas. Primary used for offshore fishing, family weekenders at Catalina Island and harbor cruises/dinner outings.
I used to be on the Vintage Mustang forums and it would happen on there all the time. Most of which I think was because at the bottom of one thread, it would have a "Similar Thread" section where it would be threads of essentially the same topic. People would click on those links and not realize they could be a decade old, or more. That doesn't seem to be the case on here, that being said I'm thinking that people likely do a Google search for something, then see a post to what they're looking for, join and make a post themselves, not realizing it's a very old thread. Not an issue, and kind of fun to keep an old thread going. But some people post in those threads with legitimate questions that they need help with, not realizing that people might not respond to, or even look at a thread of that age.
