Strong work! Post a couple of pictures when you get a chance.

Did the white plastic drink holders that you replaced from the factory have the drain tubing attached to them? I'm not 100% sure, but I believe that the drink holders just have the drain plumbed out of the bottom and then they literally just drain out onto the floor or into the bilge. I've not...

Again, there are many ways to do something but unfortunately the breaker bar that I have is a 3/8" and is shorter in length than the torque wrench. I'm quite strong and do powerlifting in my spare time, of which I just hit 425 lbs on the bench press for 3 reps last week. That was also the last...

Oh well... again, it's a $20 torque wrench and if it gets broken then I'll gladly go down to HF and buy another. Also, I've got a much more expensive digital torque wrench that I use for its intended purpose, not to loosen nuts or bolts. I have two, the nicer digital one and then the one from...

I’ve never had an issue removing nuts or bolts before with a torque wrench and again, if I did then I’d just go buy another for $20. I’ve also used it on lug nuts, though I typically use my lug wrench on that instead. I again don’t see the point in going and spending money on something else when...

I like the torque wrench because it’s thicker and has a textured grip at the end to hold on to. Makes it much easier with having big hands, especially if working with fluids such as oil and so forth that can be slippery. Regardless if it’s your tool of choice, it can still be used to get the job...

I mean there's definitely no harm in posting a Craigslist or other similar ad for the boat. That being said, I don't imagine you're going to get anywhere near the price you'll want to get, or how much you've got total into the boat. I have been wrong before though, so again it doesn't hurt to...

Here's my take on the matter... I think a repower will definitely help out some, but I can't imagine you're going to get much more than what you paid for the repower, if that makes sense? An 35 year old hull in my opinion isn't going to be worth very much money, if any at all. I think the only...

Idk... my 2004 GW 228 Seafarer has a maximum horsepower rating of 250 hp, of which my boat has a single F225 on it and is definitely "adequate" in terms of horsepower, though I definitely wouldn't want to go less than that. My boat has a supposed dry weight of 3,510 lbs if you can believe the...

Yes... but both of those products were priced that way because they were brand new to the market for public consumption, they didn't have a thousand different brands competing to bring down the price like they do today, and it wasn't like one brand of VCR or microwave was $1k when all the rest...

Kind of what I figured it would be. One of the reasons why I tend to not go back to THT...

Can't give you too much feedback other than the maximum horsepower for your hull is 500 hp, which twin 200's would only put you at 400 total hp. It would be an extra 200 lbs or so of weight, but I'd maybe ask them about some twin Suzuki DF250AP's. My neighbor has a 2005 GW 270 Islander of which...

I'm all for using alternative fuel options and within reason, to try and use a product that will help me get better fuel economy with boats, cars and whatever other toys I might have. That being said, when you're substituting electric cars for gas, yet you're increasing the amount of energy to...

Lol I understand what a torque wrench is but as mentioned above, why not get a cheap one from Harbor Freight for $20 and if it works, then you've fixed your problem yourself for next to no money at all? I wouldn't exactly say that HF tools are "throw away tools" but oftentimes they aren't much...

Not mine, just saw it on Boat Trader and thought it looked like a good deal for those who are interested in a 2006 and newer model with twin outboards, a trailer and so forth. https://www.boattrader.com/boat/2006-grady-white-gulfstream-232-9044866/

Anyone over there with actual experience that has purchased them before or is it mostly just a dumpster fire of a thread like they oftentimes are?

What was the issue when using it in the vice? Was the vice not able to hold it or did you start stripping the threads on the nut? I've had some really tough nuts/bolts when working on cars over the years and to where, it's not exactly the best or ideal solution, but if a breaker bar doesn't work...

I would disagree on the cold air intake comparison as those are pennies on the dollar compared to the $5k per motor propeller. I do agree though with the rest in that I remember when they came out several years and they were all the talk. Now, they seem to get brought up once a year or so and no...

Dang... that's crazy. They're $49 a piece on this website. Which is quite ridiculous for plastic. https://ab-marine.com/product/moonlight-portlight-91-series-latches/

No worries... and $120? That seems rather absurd.
