    2000 Gulfstream 232 trailer question

    You can buy a trailer elsewhere and trade that one in or sell it. Check with Diamond Marine in CT….website shows he may have something in the right size in a Venture Commander Tandem.

    Owens

    I just looked at their new launched website and don't recognize any of the names that are now in charge. Then I looked at the "request quote" page and saw that galvanized axles are now an optional upgrade, and I'm not sure what an "axel" is but maybe I can find out. I've got Jeff's cell...I'll...

    2000 Gulfstream 232 trailer question

    A 232 should be on an 8600 capacity (10400 GVW) trailer. Your trailer is 6000 capacity (7000 GVW). The bigger trailer will have bigger axles and (likely) 15” tires. It also will likely be built on 6.5” or bigger I beam. Finally, get brakes on both axles. Your current trailer only has them on...

    Dodge Ram ecodiesel for towing a 228?

    That Ecodiesel will be perfect for towing your 228. James, you are right about the Touareg…it’s a fantastic mid size SUV that is rated to tow 7700. It’s a shame they don’t sell them here anymore. I’m on the hunt for a 2015-16 TDI with low mileage and plenty of diesel warranty left. If I can...

    2021 180 fisherman

    These sound like dealer issues, and if you can't get your dealer to engage, then I'd escalate to GW Customer Service. They are hypersensitive to the JD Power survey....you will get their attention.

    West Marine 5X points - 4/14 through 4/16 - Gold members get 20% back in rewards certificates

    I just need to replace the head unit....and the MS-RA 205 is discontinued. MS-RA210 will fit in the same hole but I can't find one of those either. The MS-RA55 is close but not exact, and because it's mounted in an aluminum carbon-fiber panel that the previous owner had cut, I'm trying to...

    Trailering question

    Remove cushions, lower the bimini if applicable, tie downs on the transom, you should be fine. Have a safe trip.

    AIS FROM VHF

    I had a GO7 connected via N2K to a Simrad VHF with built in AIS. Targets appeared on the MFD. Do N2K if you can….it’s plug and play.

    Decal Question

    Here's what mine looked like...I buffed out the ghosting and eventually it faded. I too am happy with the outcome.

    Updating stereo on boat 228

    Looks good. Now get the cable and connect the MFD to the motor so you can get engine data on the screen.

    Hull Logo

    I bought the ones off eBay before he stopped selling them. Quality was almost perfect, but sizing was about 1/8" off. Had to buff the ghosting out.

    2 stroke oil burn

    Buy Yamaha XLF for $17/gal at Walmart. I keep a couple in the boat. When the horn goes off, I add a gallon.

    Freedom 215 water Skiing

    Depends on the speed....the wake flattens out once you get into the mid-20s. At 18-20 it's fun for tubing but might be a challenge for a novice skier.

    2007 Grady White Tournament 205 for sale

    MS is used in Mass, but should really be MA. MI is used in Mississippi, but should really be MS. MC is used in Michigan, but should really be MI. There are 11 states where they are different and no one seems to know why, other than the government agencies didn't talk to each other. More...

    Freedom 215 water Skiing

    I pull kids on tubes and skis all the time. As others have said, it's a decent wake. I don't find there to be any maneuverability issues with the bracket. And with the ladder it's easy for them to climb in.

    I need new Batteries for my 228

    As others have said, the Duracell branded batteries (available at Batteries Plus as well as Sams Club) are rebranded East Penn/Deka batteries, which is what GW specs. I replace mine every 3-4 years as well...cheap insurance.

    West Marine Price Matched Amazon

    WM stores here are either only open from 10-5 or not open at all. One of them has been rented out as a movie set on more than one occasion. I can get it from Amazon to my door tomorrow and without the drama.

    SmokyMtnGrady is Famous!!!

    The Boat/US magazine showed up in the mail yesterday....another article about US Lakes in there. Wouldn't you know Fontana was one of the lakes they covered. I suspect our own SmokyMtnGrady might have had something to do with it.;)

    Grady White 180 - Yamaha F150

    If your 150 2 stroke is turning 5900 you need to jump up to a 19" prop. Max RPM for a 150 2 stroke (SWS and/or OX66) is 5500.
