I'm assuming that it's going to be off of a 225 Tournament, not a 232 Gulfstream. Regardless, welcome aboard and good luck with the sale.

Having an experienced skipper is always a good thing, that being said you could have the most experienced skipper in the world but if you're out in a 20' boat or less with 10' swells then you're going to get pounded the entire way out and back.

Everyone has their opinions and first choice for outboards, as well as just about everything else in life, of which I personally wouldn't hesitate to go with Suzuki. I think around here they get kind of a bad reputation because you don't see them on many boats. Out here it's definitely a Yamaha...

It's a bit of an apples to oranges comparison but I've got a GW 228 Seafarer and while it's kind of the bigger brother to the 208 Adventure, I'm thinking it's definitely doable in regards to the boat itself being up for the challenge. I think you'll definitely have to pick and choose your days...

I hate speaking negatively about another person's boat, especially if that person happened to be a forum member. That being said, I think that the boat is a bit overpriced imo, especially when compared to how much I bought my boat for as well as the rest of the competition currently out there. I...

Have you looked at the Grady White 258 Voyager or Journey? It could very well be a "Goldilocks" boat for you where it's in between a 232 Gulfstream and a 270 Islander or larger in regards to length. Per the brochure section of the GW website, it looks like they made the 258 Journey up until...

If you're deciding solely between those two models of boats then I'd definitely go bigger and get the 232 Gulfstream. The 218 Adventure looks like a nice boat but I'm honestly not a huge fan of the Euro style transom. I like the 232 Gulfstream, as well as the 228 Seafarer, in that it has a...

I'd ask Don Davis if he knows the prop specs on his boat as he has one similar to yours. If he doesn't, or anyone else on here, try Ken at Prop Gods.

Great looking catch in the previous pictures... and I've got the Burnewiin mounts as well, they're quite fantastic.

A few thoughts on the matter... the first of which would be that in your first picture yes, that crack looks to have that discolored spot near the top of the picture which looks like a water mark. Second, on your final picture it looks like the rubber seal at the bottom has a hairline crack on...

No need to apologize, but yes I do agree on the fact that you should also check everything else in there while you're at that point because as you mentioned and as I've always been taught... do it once and do it right. Also as I mentioned above, this was in October of 2021, so like everything...

I mean... I'm just going off what the tech in the service department told me and I do know that when the replacement kits were in stock that they would sell for around $600-$750 or so. That $2,500 subtracted from $600-$750 would be between $1,750-$,1900 remaining, of which I just looked at...

I think the better option would be a leak down test as opposed to just relying on a compression test. With regards to compression numbers, four strokes are typically up closer to the 200 psi, which six out of the twelve cylinders are in the 130's psi range. And again, a brand new four stroke...

Dang... that's a pretty big markup indeed as I took my boat to a GW dealer here locally called Jacobsen's Marine in Edmonds and they said it would be "around" $2k - $2,500, depending on what all needed to be done. Obviously more if it was a powerhead, though they did mention a replacement...

I'd ask PeterB21 above which model Garmin units he went with. If he was struggling getting 10" Garmin's in there then I have to imagine you'll likely be struggling that much more considering your 12" Raymarine is 14" wide x2. Which as I mentioned above, the Garmin 8612 is only 11.9" wide, so it...

It appears, though it could just be the picture, but that your carbon fiber insert below is roughly the same size as the section above and that your Raymarine MFD is over the approximate centerline of the carbon fiber piece below where it says "282". This would make me think that you won't be...

What is the width of real estate that you've got to put in the display screens? That, along with which units you decide on going with are going to be the biggest issues as your Raymarine E127, while being a 12" display, is actually almost 14" wide overall. So, putting two of those in there as...

I change out the rubber scupper flappers on my boat every season, they're less than $10 a piece for your local GW dealer and there are 3 of them total, at least on my particular boat. My boat when I first bought it had issues with the water pooling up back in the transom area of the boat when...

Saving $10k-$15k doesn't seem like that much for a boat that doesn't come with motors as I'd have to assume, depending upon hours and condition, that one would likely be able to sell them used for more than that. If they were inclined to do so...

There’s a 2004 on Boat Trader right now for $100k with twin Yamaha F225’s on it that have 1,600 hours on them. Which would make me think that the hull alone is obviously going to be a bit less… maybe in the $65k-$75k range? The biggest determining factors imo are going to be location of the boat...
