I was going to make this a reply to an earlier thread I posted regarding an engine serial number, but this gentleman and his dealership deserve more than a reply. This Spring I closed on a 2000 248 Voyager from Riteway Marine Solutions on Long Island, NY. The boat has its original Yamaha 250...

Has anyone here used Five Star Marine in Florida for a rebuild of the trim/tilt unit? Your overall assessment of their work would be? Thank you...

If the tag on the mounting bracket is gone, where are you able to find your engine serial number?

So much floating debris still in the Hudson River so I'm polishing the hull instead of burning gas. 22 year old 248 Voyager, it's a shine I can live with!

Thank the young son for his service. Not an easy time for a parent to have skin in "this" game, keep the faith. I know too well you are serving too. And good luck with the engine work...

Yeah, it was a problem just getting it in there! Changes they are a-coming.

I took ownership of our new to us 2000 Grady-White 248 Voyager with a Yamaha 250HP OX66 power plant hanging off the back. I can't say enough good things about Rory Hogan of Riteway Marine Solutions, Babylon, L.I. From soup to nuts he has us right to hit the water safely: new Garmin GPS, 2 new...

Is there a specific parts house to go to for older parts to repair Yamaha outboards? Looking specifically for a regulator for a 2000 250hp OX66, but there will be a need ongoing to keep it running.

Murphy's Law has kicked in - well maybe just my pessimism, it's not really a bad thing...surveyor's report kicked in and issues noted are being addressed. There will be no pickup tomorrow as planned. At the top of the list was alternator not charging, regulator had to be ordered. Rough low speed...

What would be the advantage of wrapping when I hope to be trailering the boat to use it? If it were brand new it would be nice to have it wrapped but at this point I just don't want to lose anything along the road.

Time to bring the boat home. It will be a 110 mile ride from Long Island to upstate New York. I have the way mapped out so I avoid "parkways" and stay on either local roads or Interstate highway. So it is all about the tow vehicle and the cargo. The draggin' wagon is a 2018 Dodge Durango SRT...

I thought I had attached some new pictures ...1 more try:

Today was my day of reckoning and while I won't say it came through with flying colors, it came through to the extent the surveyor said " buy it!" The suggestions given here served as a guide and gave me a frame of mind with which to approach this task. He gave me lots of tips on what needed...

There is a reason marine head toilet paper is available. I hope this is not where you are trying to save a few dollars by using what you have at home. The plumbing systems are vastly different. I would rather sell than do the unclog; don't ask me how I know!

Randy King Marine in Verplanck (Northern Westchester) (914) 737-4306...he has a good size boat salvage yard. He may have something there. It looks like you are on Long Island probably and hour+ ride for you.

The last time I had a 2 stroke outboard we mixed the oil & gas in 6 gallon tanks! With a 2000 250-OX and the oil tank, do I just keep pouring oil into the tank? How much spare oil should I carry if I am making a 150 mile trip. The main tank is 105 gallons, the auxiliary tank is 52 gallons.

As "luckydude" just said I have gotten a treasure trove of help and advice through these replies. A huge thank you to all who have chosen and those who reply after this posts. I am 76 and downsizing but I firmly believe if I am not learning I am not growing. The boat is being sold by Riteway...

So I've got my survey & sea trial scheduled for early April. It is a 2000 248 Voyager with a 2000 Yamaha 250hp OX66. A few questions: a) Do I hang around and watch the surveyor go through the exercise or do I walk to the nearby Deli for coffee and? b) What's the acceptable moisture reading for...

The salt in the wounds is going to be when the gas companies report record PROFITS for the 2nd quarter! This will be the tell tale sign the supplies were not really the issue driving up prices, it once again was/is merely corporate greed. The 1% thrive on the backs of the poor...and no one puts...

I take that as a testimony to original quality of design and construction. What model Rinkers/SeaRays/Larsons from '87 to 2005 are still sought after?
