I did notice that on my neighbor's boat that the issue wasn't as bad when he filled up the tank entirely, though he still did have some lean to one side of the boat, almost like one tab was all the way up and the other was all the way down. A couple weeks after he filled up though, it was...

Well... if something has been listed, yet hasn't sold in over 4 weeks now, to me that's very much indicative of the price being too high? Here's a link to the ad on Boat Trader for those of you that might be interested. For those of you that are also interested in the purposes of comparing...

My neighbor has a 2005 GW 270 Islander that does something very similar in that you'll be going straight forward, then it's like it'll "bite" or "grab" and pull you a bit to one side or the other. I don't know enough about his boat or setup to know if the trim tabs were properly working to...

Where are you located at? There's a couple of those vintages of 330 Express boats on BoatTrader in the $150k-$170k range, but the cheapest used 360 Express is just under $200k. The first boat doesn't have outriggers, but the second one does...

Per the brochure, the standard fuel tank on a 242 was a 93 gallon aluminum tank but there was also an optional 55 gallon auxiliary fuel tank as well. https://gradywhite.blob.core.windows.net/media/21335/1988.pdf

The G3 charts also have the high resolution relief shading as well, or at least the one that I have has it.

I've got a 2004 GW 228 Seafarer with a Yamaha F225 on it and she'll do in that 2.5 mph range for king salmon fishing just fine. I've played around with the idea of adding a kicker motor over the years but I fish in the Puget Sound where the waters are pretty protected. On top of that, I've got...

There are also two currently listed on Boat Trader... https://www.boattrader.com/boat/2003-grady-white-265-express-8983668/ https://www.boattrader.com/boat/2005-grady-white-express-265-9047189/

And my point would be that I bought my unit last year with a G3 map card and I have no issues with it. Not everyone needs the newest, latest or greatest products out there. One day I might update or upgrade them to something newer, but what I have currently works just fine for me. The specs are...

The $1,499 price on the Garmin website doesn't include a transducer either, that's just the price for the MFD. I think that I paid $1,299 for mine a year ago on a sale as well as a price match from BOE Marine, but that also didn't include a transducer, I had to buy that separately. Also, that...

Just noticed that the Garmin 943xsv is $200 off at WM for a before tax price of $999.99. If you're in the market for a 9" touchscreen Garmin device or two, this is definitely a good deal as the MSRP is usually $1,499...

I seriously doubt you'll find something that will fit your particular model/year of boat that's now 40 years old. I think your best bet will be to build your own or have a local fiberglass shop build one for you.

She's been listed for the last 4 weeks and still hasn't sold, eh?

When I bought my house almost a decade ago, I spent $40 on the below combo pack and it's served me quite well over the years...

I just replaced the batteries on my 228 Seafarer at the very end of the summer. I was hoping to be able to wait and get new ones in the late spring or early summer of next year so that they didn't just sit all winter, but no dice. Of which, if you're not using the boat over the winter, I'd maybe...

Indeed... drop the lower unit and looking up there to see if there are any issues, or you could have a mobile mechanic/Yamaha tech come out and look at it for you. I personally wouldn't even be interested in the boat at $35k though, considering what I bought my boat for. Again, I'm not trying to...

I always recommend everyone buying a boat or any other higher dollar purchase, pay to have an independent surveyor come out and inspect the boat for them. They can get moisture readings from the hull as well as any potential soft spots, they can look over the engines, electrical and look at any...

Perhaps a few pictures of the boat might be worthwhile?

I think if it was that easy of a fix, then it would've been fixed and re-mounted back on the boat already. Especially like you mentioned, if 2-3 marine techs weren't able to figure it out, unless you have more experience then that, it's a pretty big gamble. Just my thoughts on the matter though...

Happy Thanksgiving to all, God Bless!
