    A little boater humility

    Get the WEMA style....if you call GW Cust Serv they will tell you the depth of the tank. Order one 1/2" shorter so it will read empty but leave a bit of reserve for you in the tank. PS - There are two kinds of people...those who run out of gas and those who WILL run out of gas someday...

    Need Insurance Recommendation

    I fired Boat US/Geico last year after over 25 years with them. The rate increase was absurd. I went with Foremost - which is the marine insurance division of Farmers. No complaints, same coverage as I had with Boat US/Geico and the premium was a few bucks cheaper.

    Red Button in Bilge

    As others have said, swap it out. It will fail at the absolutely utmost inconvenient time.

    Fisherman 180 Height on Trailer

    The trailer will have a lot to do with overall height. If it's on a roller trailer, it will sit higher than a bunk trailer.

    Grady 205 Biggest GPS?

    I had a 205. You can get a 10" screen in there, although you won't be able to also get your VHF there too. You can either move your VHF down to your knees where it's useless, or go with a RAM mic type setup that controls everything.

    NY Boat Show, hiding in the crowds

    Seasick - shame on me for not coordinating with you...I was in town and went to the show on Thursday. I looked in the bilge of the GWs on display...while not as clean as the Pursuits, it also wasn't as bad as some of the pics and posts that have appeared here.

    NY Boat Show, first impressions

    I was in town for work Wednesday and Thursday....I went for a bit Thursday afternoon. $20 to walk through the door. I skipped the hot dog and coke for $12 I was underwhelmed as well. I miss the old days....when boat shows had a whole section where you could actually purchase...

    205 Freedom instrument panel

    I owned a 205...for literally 7 weeks. Loved the boat, hated the dash/controls setup. I'm 6'3" and I could not comfortably run the boat standing up. For me the culprit was the side mounted throttle/binnacle. At speed, the handle was too low. Somehow I missed it during the sea trial or I...

    1993 22’ tournament - speeds?

    Fastest in the water GW I've owned was the first one. My 190 Tourney with a Yahama 150 VMax could hit 48. My 225s all hit 41-42 with 225 OXs. My 205 with an F225 would hit about 46. Once I forgot to turn the GPS off after I put the boat on the trailer. That GW hit close to 80 going downhill...

    SCAMMED

    Assuming you have checked with your bank? I too got scammed with Zelle and it took a number of phone calls and some detective work with Bank of America but I got my money back. For $575 I'd be blowing up everybody's phone at the bank to see if you can get some help.

    Getting ready for re-power,,,, finally!!!

    Looks great. Did you have a choice between the single (Garmin) screen and the dual tach/speed setup? And any particular reason to choose one over the other?

    1993 22’ tournament - speeds?

    Yep...either way the hull has an 8' beam.

    1993 22’ tournament - speeds?

    I suspect that might be a typo in the 1993 brochure. '93 was the first year of the SeaV2 in the 223/225. 2003 was the first year of the redesign which brought the fold down bench seat aft and the walk-in head compartment, so definitely a different design.

    1993 22’ tournament - speeds?

    I've owned 4 different 223s and 225s...which are the same hull as the one you are looking at. 3 of the 4 had 225 OX66s, 1 had a 200 Saltwater Series Carb. You can play around with props and get to 41 mph with the 200....you can play around with props and get to 42.5/43 with the 225. The only...

    Replacing rotted bulkhead on 2001 226

    One thing to be careful with if you go Starboard is it expands with heat....while it won't rot, it may warp in the summer.
