Maybe smaller lettering? I/O or outboard? Got a picture of the transom?

Wow! I just realized how old the post was that I just responded to! Wonder if he bought the 241 Weekender?

:hmm I have an '82 Weekender 241. My situation on the purchase was a little frustrating. I knew nothing about boats and bought it thinking I could put another $1500 into it and have a nice fishing boat. It's two years later and I just got it into the water about 3 weeks ago and have a...

Re: Fantom '82 GW Rain Leak Yesterday I raised the bow "way up" and all water ran out to the rear bilge. I then plugged fuel bay drains and front bilge line to rear bilge. We had a hard rain last night. Went out this morning and pulled the plug, in the rear bilge area, for the front bilge...

Classic 1982, 24' Weekender, Tampa, Fl Here's my two year restoration, work in progress, 1982 GW Weekender. Just got her in the water two weeks ago.

:hmm Have an '82 GW Weekender and was wondering if anyone has dealt with a phantom leak such as mine. This has been a two year restoration and just got it into the water two weeks ago. Normally the boat is covered but when I'm using it daily short term, I only cover the cuddy including...

Hey "FBT" My boat ame with 3 differant props but don't really know much about them excpt one is SS and the other two are aluminum. What are the differances between a 241 Offshore and a 241 Weekender? From our avatars they look very similar. Ron

What kind of prop (SS etc) and pitch do you have on your boat? Do you do mainly trolling of get there now and fish type speeds? With your current prop how far (miles) can you go on how many gallons? Thanks, Ron

Does anyone know wht kind of speed I can expect? I know there are variables like prop pitch etc, but just generally and fuel consumption (mpg)? Does anyone else have the same model as me? Thanks, Ron

My son and I have been restoring an 24 foot '82 GW Weekender with a GM 305 V8 and stern drive. We are about a week or so away from completion of our project. Does anyone have any idea what I could expect on top speed and fuel milage? Our boat does'nt have trim tabs yet and it's my...

The fuel pump looks like it may be a replacement from years past. Looks like aluminum automotive pump all corroded. I'm putting Marine pump on. Hope my carb and water pump come in today. Still have to find lower foot water pump. Have'nt dropped foot yet cause been working on helm area.

Tomorrow I'm pulling the water pump and fuel pump off for replacement and I'll be able to tell a little more about hose routeing. I have not been able to access this site for a couple of days now. Was wondering what had happened.

I'm waiting for a new water pump and thermostat to come in and still have to locate a lower unit pump kit. The temp got up to 190 degrees and I shut it down. Ron

Looks like they should be run as pictured below. I bought this boat last Monday and am getting it ready to go fishing!!!! I have ordered new water pump, fuel pump, tune-up kit, carburetor, tilt pump, water/fuel seperator filter and new tilt pump bracket. I wantet to replace all the things...

Let's see if this works!

TRANSOM ASSY: 6151102 DRIVE UNIT: 6165588 THANKS BOB! I'll try and post pics later tonight after joining Photo Bucket. I appreciate the help. Ron

Ok guys, I finally found a maintenance manual and have become dangerous with questions. I have the '82 Mercruiser, 305 engine and am wondering about the routing of my cooling hoses. If I'm looking at the correct diagram, my hoses are not routed correctly and some have been routed back into...

I did'nt see anything on the outdrive stating what it is. I'm assuming it's a Mercruiser outdrive. I guess it's going to take me awhile to become more savy on my I/O boat. I'll check for other post where you responded. Thanks

Thanks '78GradyGulfstream! This is the first forum I've tried and will give iboats a try for I/O drive questions. Did you know that people will tell you anything to sell their older boats?!?!!! I know that's hard to believe. (LoL) Only had her three days and have ordered new tilt motor...

I just bought a 1982 24', 241 cuddy and am pondering the same thing about the "monkey fur" and possible upgrades. I was thinking of using the grey indoor/outdoor carpet on the lower and can't really decide what to do about the upper fur. Also I have done away with the wood panels in the helm...
