Unbeliveable. So sorry, as others have said. Can you orchestrate another install before your Keys run?

One more thing; If you do decide on a 232 Gulfstream, I strongly suggest powering it with 200's. I have '06 200 4-strokes on mine, and wouldn't have it with anything else. Perfect power.

Hey Mr. Reelin' I have a 232 and while not being familiar with your wx conditions and sea state, it sounds like the 232 is too small a boat for your needs. 3 crew under the hardtop is doable, the 4th will be a crowd, especially with the aft curtains down.. Plus, while the 9'3" beam gives it...

Giels passed not too long ago. Shame..Great band. The organ solo in "Give It To me" is my all-time favorite musical passage. Perfect.. Anyway, have a great summer & enjoy the new engine.

Thanks Journeyman, top-notch info! I have the same situation; my Gulfstream 232 has twin F200's and the scuppers sit almost submerged dockside. it doesn't matter as I'm sure it doesn't with your Marlin. I hose it down after a trip and it drains the cockpit nicely. I was a bit concerned about...

Journeyman; I read you have 350's on your '08 Marlin. Good match? Is she stern-heavy with the engines and a generator? The fuel burn is a bit better than the 300's with more speed on the Grady Site Performance Section. Curious..

Nice; Just watched it. We want one of these in a few years. Can't get it now for a host of reasons. Fish, do you think they'll keep making the Marlin for awhile longer? The walks keep going away..

Hey Capt; Congrats..Great rig. Have some soft "sock-type" slipovers custom made for your stern lines where they would rub against the cowlings. One of our club members made some for us and they work great. Velcro the ends so they will stay in one place on the line when the boat tugs...

My pleasure Rob; I think more folks should plan trips like yours. I can't give you accurate assessments & advice on commercial fishing netting. I am not a fisherman and just don't have any background in that area except for getting better at missing lobster pots off the Gulf coast. I can only...

If your looking for the optimum running conditions, West to East would be the best choice as anything S or SW would be abaft your starboard beam or following you. The orientation of the Southern shore of Erie is SW by NE. Therefore, as I should've mentioned in my rambling discourse above, there...

Hey Wahoo; Glad to hear your still in the game for your trip! In the Straits there is Mackinaw Island & Bois Blanc on the Huron side. In Erie there are obviously more: Kellys; North, Middle & South Bass, West Sister & Pelee in Canadian waters. The area near the Islands have the confused...

I too have a Gulfstream and love it, but from your wish list I don't think it's your boat. 1.) It has a cabin, which you would rather do without. 2.) The beam is 9' 3", making it illegal to tow without a permit and you mentioned you are capable of moving it around.. 3.) You would be limited...

Hope it works out.. Things have a way of lining up right sometimes. It's easy for me to play armchair quarterback and say "spend this..do this.." I realize the world we live in and decisions have to be made with regard to spending. I'm particularly passionate about this subject since I've had...

I am certain, as I mentioned in my previous reply, that the dealers marginalize the trailer to just enough cap to create an attractive price package. Your average buyer who trailers short distances or maybe a long trip infrequently will never question it and be happy with the "discount." I never...

family; When I started trailering I had a 16 ft Starcraft on a single axle Holsclaw trailer. Knowing little or nothing about maintenance of any kind as a 21 year old, I ran the trailer till I had a wheel shear off from lack of lube. The tire went into a cornfield and I was stuck in the ditch...
