To me, that looks like the reaction my boat's gelcoat has when someone sprays on their sunscreen / suntan lotion. It also happens when they have it on and sit somewhere or rest arm, whatever. I presume you've already ruled that out? (It always dissipates, but it is annoying.) There was also...

I had a’97 Gulfstream with the old faux wood duratrim. I actually came to like the way it looked when I would polish them up with Penetrol. The faux wood popped and looked really good. However after a couple of years of that even the Penetrol didn’t help. They just looked dull, faded and...

Hi Rangoonb, I don’t think I have much to add to your inquiry, but I am interested in the thread and agree with your metrics. Last fall I sold my Gulfstream and then pulled the trigger on a new to me 2005, 330 Express. Great looking boat and appears to have almost everything I was looking...

For fuel effefiency, I think that's about right. Put on a four blade prop and you will increase your overall perfomance. For handling tilt your outdrive up when backing down. Responds much better. Good luck. Ted

I was able to find a replacement part on iboats. http://www.iboats.com/Boat-Parts-Accessories/dm/

Hey Zimm, Yes, local Intel is very important. Most guys are starting to switch up from trolling to other methods; jigging, chum, bottom fishing and soon live lining. One other thing I would recommend is a charter. Go out with a Captain that will share insights and allow you to work the...

X2 Ed Miller. I own the boat, the engine is his!

Start here. Tidalfish.com http://www.tidalfish.com/forums/forumdisplay.php/3-Chesapeake-Angler-The-Original-Board-Maryland-Angler There are others but this will provide you a very good initial base of understanding for the Mi-Atlantic. Lots of Grady owners as well, but it is really focused...

I put a four blade prop on my ’97 Gulfstream with Yam 250 and have gotten very good results. Really like it a lot and recommend it highly. Also when backing into my slip, I find if I tilt the engine up a tad the stern will respond better, but otherwise the Gulfstream is a tricky boat to manage...

For years I began every season with a mild 3M compound & cleaner followed by an application of carnauba wax using a light weight buffer, sometimes twice. A couple of years ago I switched to Meguiars cleaner boat wax combination in a liquid application and applied the whole process by hand...

Re: 07 Gulfstream Filler Cushions Optional or Standard Equip I bought mine used, so take it for what its worth, but I say thats a standard option.

Sweeeet! Nice looking rig, congrats!

I have a ‘97 Gulfstream with a 250 Yamaha and love it, it’s a great boat. (but like others have asked, what are you using it for?) With a bow pulpit, swim platform and transom bracket she’s about 27’ LoA. A steady wide fishing platform, room enough for four guys to fish comfortably, very good...

I’m looking to do the same thing for my ’97 Gulfstream but haven’t been able to find new ones anywhere. I presume that you are referring to the Gulfstream vinyl “flags” that are on the Port & Starboard sides of the boat and encase an oval 232 Gulfstream medallion. I used tracing paper...

I have a ’97 Gulfstream, going on my 5th season and love the boat. I have the single Yamaha 250 but generally the twin set up is the preferred configuration. Just make sure that you are satisfied with the engines or you now obviously have double the problems. Did the former owner run the...

Grady White is really good about posting all (or almost all) their model specifications on line. You didn’t specify what year but if you go to their web site you can probably find it. Good luck.

Great story, loved it. Thanks for sharing. Ted

Jim, That is really sweet, very nice. Ted

The Gulfstream is a great boat, but of course you’ve got to do your homework on a decision like this. Think hull first, engine & steering second… after that electric (wiring) and electronics then plumbing (hoses) cushiness & eisenglass and miscellaneous items. I think that is about the...

All, Thanks for the good insight. Haven't had the chance to get to the boat to trouble shoot this, but will let you know. Thanks. Ted
