    Pop-out gunwale step

    What about something like this? https://www.westmarine.com/garelick-folded-aluminum-footrest-406787.html

    Does anyone have the new SHARROW propellers on their Grady white 330

    Sounds about like what I'd expect on THT. And I'm not too terribly sure about them catching on as they've been around now for at least 4 years and still nobody seems to have one, or even knows of anyone that has one. Also, I'm not sure comparing a propeller that's close to 100x more expensive...

    Pop-out gunwale step

    $1,400 for a step is pretty crazy. That being said, if you're already spending $200k on a brand new boat, what is another $1,400? :D

    20005 228 seafarer in need of new gps and depth finder. current unit OLD, still functioning {marginally} Replacement suggestions.

    You should post a picture or two of your current setup. Is it flush mounted or installed in the electronics compartment behind the steering wheel? If the latter, it should be very easy to remove and replace with something new. If it's flush mounted, you'll likely have to either find something...

    232 Gulfstream w/twins no affliation

    Where would you say is the biggest platform for selling boats then? I think the "Big 3" imo would be Boat Trader, Boats.com and Yacht World. Another would probably be iBoats or something similar. I can't stand Facebook because of all the flakes and scams on there, so I don't really use it...

    20005 228 seafarer in need of new gps and depth finder. current unit OLD, still functioning {marginally} Replacement suggestions.

    As mentioned in your other post in the other section... last summer I just replaced the 7" touchscreen Garmin that came with my boat when I bought it in October of 2021 with a Garmin 943xsv. It went belly up on me when I did an update on the software as well as upgrade the mapping on it. I...

    replacing old garmin gps with depth finder,

    I'd repost this question in the General Discussion part of the forum to get some more feedback and replies on the matter as this section doesn't get as much traffic. That being said, last summer I just replaced the 7" touchscreen Garmin that came with my boat when I bought it in October of 2021...

    Radar for 2023 285 Freedom

    I don't have radar on my boat... that being said if/when I do go to upgrade, it'll definitely be with a Garmin unit, of which that'll likely be something along the lines of the Garmin Fantom 18x/24x. https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/762107/pn/010-02584-00#specs

    232 Gulfstream w/twins no affliation

    Oh I've already been wide awake all night in anticipation of whatever happens to it... Also, just curious as to where you see the part about it closing today. I don't see anything on the old Facebook ad, nor anything on the Boat Trader ad to suggest what you're saying. Boat Trader, Boats.com...

    Replacing Furuno VX2 Electronics

    My previous boat was a 21' Arima and it had an older Furuno 1870F unit on it for the MFD, though I'm not sure what transducer it had on the boat, and it didn't have radar on it. I wasn't a fan of the Furuno at all and pretty much disliked everything about it, though I didn't have the money at...

    Lorance HDS 7 - older model

    A few thoughts that I had on the matter, and I'm by no means an expert or close to it, but the first would be if you've got something in your settings that is making the issue happen? The second would be about the transducer itself, in that is it a powerful enough of a unit to be able to be able...

    2000 Gulfstream 232 in water fishing photo

    I personally don't have any pictures of that, as I've got a 228 Seafarer and not a 232 Gulfstream. Looking on Google images, here are a couple of possible suggestions that might work, depending on what exactly you want to do. I'm thinking your best bet might be one of the first couple of...

    1998 Grady White 228 Seafarer for sale - $21,600

    It is possible. You'd think that if the boat was legitimate, that at the seller's asking price, that it would've sold by now. That being said, you'd also think that if it was a scam, that it would've been flagged on the Craigslist ad and taken down already.

    232 Gulfstream w/twins no affliation

    I think that the market, like just about every other winter out there, is likely softening a bit during the winter months, especially with going into the Christmas holiday season. People likely aren't spending their money on boats right now and instead are spending their money on other things...

    Replacing seats for a 2008 Seafarer?

    I'm a little bit confused... are you wanting to replace the whole seat or just the bolsters and cushions on your seats? I think your best bet would be to have a local upholstery shop reupholster what you've currently got, though that's likely going to be the most expensive route as well. I think...

    2001 268 Islander very unstable.

    I'm not sure if this question is aimed towards me or not, that being said on my neighbors 270 Islander, the bow would definitely list one way or the other and definitely had quite a bit of bow steer. I only have a little bit of experience on his boat and driving it, but it did very much seem...

    232 Gulfstream w/twins no affliation

    I honestly don't care if you think my thoughts are "professionally based" or not as I'm not doing this for any reason other than to help others in their boat buying process and have actually now bought 3 boats back east and trailered them out to Seattle. On top of that, I've never once claimed...

    Looking for info

    Oh yes, if you can have it done for you for only $1k-$1,500 more than you could do it yourself then it definitely makes sense to have someone else do the drive instead.

    Awesome job! Did you end up doing the trip yourself or have the boat shipped out here for you? Congrats either way, looks like a great boat and fun to be had!
