You won’t be able to break them. They are 20,000 lbs breaking strength if Yamaha original.

Absolutely. Thank you for the helpful advice!

If someone asks. Yes, it works solid! Removed twin 2002 F225 this weekend. Getting ready for a new used pair.

Gulfstream is a heavy/wide boat and under power for a single engine. I would try a Revolution 4 to help with hole shot, planning and cruising. I run a pair of Rev4 17” on my F225’s 265 and it’s a game changer.

Not perfect…Off white still a bit lighter than Grady color but very close.

Here is the order slip. I ended up cut the legs so it lower and landed on the lumbar when you lean back. much more ergonomic.

Skunk. The legs support the gate from falling forward so I don’t need to do anything more to the lock. I left it original. I used the starboard backer and thru bolts on both sides of the gate to re-enforce the wall.

I will look for the order slip. If not, I will take the measure and post this weekend.

I put one in my 265. Love it. I can fold it down or remove and put it in the cabin. I measured and ordered from Birdsall marine. Last pic is from the website. The other pics of white bench is on my boat.

I run a pair of Revolution 4 blades 15 1/4 x 17 on my Express 265 w/ F225’s. They are so so much better than the 3 blades. Fuel economy is minimal was 1.6, now 1.8 miles/gal. But the hole shot and midrange is beautiful and boat is 3 miles faster top end!

The 2004 F225’s are heavier than 4.2 F300. You have the 2003 hull, which made for the 4 stroke. Why not hang couple of F250 - F300’s as they are still lighter than what you have now.

Primer bulbs, heavy duty zip ties.

Of course, it’s a good business model…if you ever need to replacement one of the engines or new lower unit , crown, trim mount. Grady White will glad to sale you more custom parts to match.

Took these pictures 6/24 Hood Canal, Wa. The owner forgot the transom’s plug after dropping her off the night before to get ready for a shrimping trip. A reminder to all to plug before towing, don’t wait until you get to the dock.
