They repowered their Islanders with or Express's with 150's? My neighbor has a 2005 GW 270 Islander and for some reason, the brochure has a different dry weight only for the 2005 model year at 5,600 lbs. Compared to the previous 2004 model year at only 4,660 lbs, which seems very odd that they...

You mentioned in your first post that your boat as it currently sits will top out at 42 mph heavily loaded down, and that's with only 200 hp on it, so do you really need/want to go faster than that? My guess is that with an extra 25 horsepower that the boat with the appropriate propeller on it...

It's difficult to tell via the pictures, but the biggest difference that I can see is the 248 Voyager has a different stern layout where it's like the earlier version of the 232 Gulfstrean in that it has a cutout rear seat. The 2003 258 Voyager as well as the 2004 and newer 258 Journey have the...

Per the brochure, the dimensions on the GW 248 Voyager and the GW 258 Voyager are the exact same, with the one exception of the fuel tank on the 258 Voyager being slightly larger. For some reason in 2004, they switched the name of the 258 Voyager to the 258 Journey, and it appears to be...

The hull is rated for 230 hp per the brochure. I'd think the Mercury 225 FourStroke series would likely be your best bet as it'll be the lightest of the 4 stroke motors at 475 lbs. And the weight is the same between their 175 hp FourStroke up to their 225 hp FourStroke, so imo it would be better...

Check out my above comment to Don Davis and see if those are the ones that you need. I found the handles for those awhile back and believe they're a 91 series Moonlight port, of which Googling 91 series Moonlight port hinges came up with this website. Not sure if that's exactly what you've got...

I found the handles for those awhile back and believe they're a 91 series Moonlight port, of which Googling 91 series Moonlight port hinges came up with this website. Not sure if that's exactly what you've got or not, or if the website is "legit" but that's what I could find. Also, there are a...

There was a guy that had one on eBay for the longest time specifically for a 22' Grady White I believe it was, but I can't find it on there anymore. There are a few generic ones out there as well, though I can't comment on the quality of them as I personally don't have any experience with them...

In terms of pricing... I'd think twin Suzuki 200's. Strictly in terms of weight and nothing else, I'd say the Mercury 200 FourStroke series motors which are 475 lbs a piece. Of which comparatively, your current Yamaha 200 SWII motors are around 453 lbs a piece, per Google. The Suzuki's are...

For some reason the hardtop option on the 208 Adventure seems like a rarity and I hardly ever see them when looking at boat ads online, at least the older models that you're referring to. I think your best bet would be to look on the east coast as they're more popular back there, and are...

I used to be a 911 call taker and police dispatcher for the county that I live in, which has almost a million people in it, and did that for over 5 years total. My thoughts on the matter would be that Yamaha or the other manufacturers likely don't want the liability of verifying, entering...

I figured it would be the same... very cool though and post a few pictures when you get a chance!

Is that the same guy that JJMag used for his setup?

I bought one of my previous boats in Maryland, drove it out here to Seattle, and the engine cowling on it was chipping/fading, of which that is quite common for outboard motors to do that are now coming up on being 20 years old. It's not too terribly difficult at all to fix them, just a couple...

Considering the Mercury 150 is only 20 lbs lighter than the Mercury 175-225, I'd spend the extra money, gain a mere 20 lbs and have whatever horsepower level you'd like to have instead, as opposed to potentially being underpowered.

Per the original Grady White brochure, your hull is rated to 230 hp, of which in today's horsepower levels that means you'll likely be able to go with a maximum of 225 hp. The second thing that I would consider is how well does the boat ride currently? Are you wanting to keep the boat for...

$165 on Amazon... and slightly less than that on eBay. Part number appears to be an Accon Marine 205-M https://www.amazon.com/Accon-Pop-Up-Stainless-Steel-Light/dp/B00C1CW9H2

Here's another boat with twins, though it's listed at $50k. https://www.boattrader.com/boat/2005-grady-white-gulfstream-232-9121238/

I would tend to disagree off of a weight only perspective. The OP said he's looking for a boat with a single 300 on it or twins, of which a brand new Yamaha F300 is 551 lbs. But twin F150's are 522 lbs a piece, putting their total at 1,044 lbs total, or almost double that of the single F300...

I'm not too terribly sure. You could always call them up and double check. That one was a pretty good deal, so I'm not too surprised that it did sell, especially at that price.
