    2001 Grady white Transom Problem

    a rotted bang plate is almost a guarantee of water intrusion, and strongly supports the high moisture readings. to answer your question, yes, greenwood xl. as others have mentioned its pretty rot resistant, but getting wet can still lead to delamination. i think that the transoms remained...

    2004 282 Sailfish Repower--Mercury 300 V8's

    so, full of fuel and 5400 rpm...what about full fuel, ice, gear, and a few guys? i always prefer an engine to be working easier than harder. a lower pitch prop would give you better hole shot and get your wot closer to 6k.

    Fill space from previous radio

    id call New Wire and ask them if its a paintable plastic. then paint it yourself. or see if a local car tint place can do a vinyl wrap on the front of it for you.

    2004 282 Sailfish Repower--Mercury 300 V8's

    awesome, that should be a good combo. just wondering though, 5,400 rpm seems a pretty low for WOT unless you were really loaded down. shouldnt you be closer to 6k?

    Highest HP a 272 Sailfish can take

    its my understanding that the transoms were reinforced when the ratings went up. the concern could be too much load on the transom with higher than rated hp. call grady and ask them. they have pretty good customer service

    Gas tank question. Need help pleas

    does the can have another sticker on it? if so, take it off and see if it floats in a cup of fuel (make sure to poke it under and swirl it). if it floats, as much as id hate to, i would probably just leave it. if it sinks, i might look into trying to fish it out so it doesnt block a pick up tube.

    GW rounded keel

    GW rounded keel

    i can get on board with this. the rounded bottom could prevent slicing too deep which may limit shooting back out of the water because of going too deep in

    GW rounded keel

    why? you say that a round keel will cut through a wave better than a sharp keel and give a better ride? can you explain that?

    GoPro live underwater 1080p feed to Garmin 8612 chartplotter

    my concern with the anti-ventilation plate mount would be bubbles. if that motor is running, it will be pushing bubbles through the exhaust and block your view. even if not running that motor, when trolling, you get a lot of turbulent swirling of water with bubbles right behind the boat i...
