A&J typically does hardtop enclosures. Great Lakes did most of the Bimini's.

Looks like ditching the foil didn't gain you anything. Your numbers aren't bad, but they still seem off. 4500 rpm is a little high for a 2 stroke cruise. 3900-4200 would be more ideal. Your top end seems low also. Another prop could likely make improvements. You just have to ask yourself if the...

I've never seen a twin engine seafarer. That thing must really scoot with 280 hp of 2 stroke!!

I hope it works out. I had hoped the same for my kids, but lake ecology changes has ruined it for them. Used to be that every spring and fall the family could go out and kill it on yellow perch for Lake Erie. For any kid it was shooting fish in a barrel. That has all changed and is no longer...

I'm dreaming, but bear with me. Living in the information age, and knowing there is limited demand out there for certain models, it would be amazing if Grady would produce specific extinct models for one year. Rather than continuous annual production runs, bring back the 228 for one year, the...

More specifically, the Jabsco electric pump conversion system on our new to us 270. Oddly both the upper and lower macerator housings were chipped on the outside causing or contributing to a leak. I thought replacing the lower housing (by far the worst of the 2) would be sufficient to get it to...

For the sake of accuracy, if you have the mechanical f150 you won't get to 200 hp. If you have the DEC, it might be possible. The 150 mechanical is a 2.7 liter while the 150 DEC, 175 and 200 are 2.8.

With some engines, it is possible. With that engine it is not possible to get the same performance of a factory f200. You will find people who will tell you otherwise and gladly take your money to do it. Lighting that $$ on fire will net a similar result.

I'll have to check details on my model to see if that is the case. I know most newer Mercs use alternators to charge batteries and I have read that high current draw causes them to die relatively quickly compared to the life of the engine. I know Yamaha doesn't use alternators. Will the charging...

So how long can you run the fridge only running from the batteries? I know it is a loaded question. I have 2 group 27 batteries on the circuit that feeds the fridge. My concern is battery damage from discharging too far resulting in frequent battery replacement. I'm trying to get a ballpark...

Looks like you have them dialed in nicely. Do you have the engines set at neutral or are they toed in or out? Today is the 1st day I have attempted to run WOT since the sea trial in March. I have also switched to e10 since getting anything else is not available on land around here. My fuel...

Just got back 30 minutes ago from our outing. Same sight and sound with our 150's! We get the same top end speed also. We are running the factory Yamaha props. I'm wondering if you get any prop chatter or ventilation if you don't have the engines trimmed down to the bottom 1/4 of the trim...

If you intend to use the windlass as designed and as the instructions indicate, it is only beneficial for deep water rode retrieval. Technically you still need to tie the rode off on the bow when anchored and also set the safety pin to prevent it from accidentally dropping once retrieved. My...

With all of the cushions in place, the 258 has good elbow room and length for 2 to sleep. I'm 6'1 and didn't feel cramped. The 268/270 v-birth is about 2-3" shorter than I would like it to be but I can make it work.

The layout of the 268 and 270 are the same in the cabin. The 258 will have about 6" less ceiling height and no enclosed head. With all of the cushions in place on the 258, you will have more bed space and overall length by up to a foot or more since there is no head and galley.

I have not used these on an outboard, but did try them on an old truck. Pulling the injectors was a major PIA due to accessibility. I installed the reconditioned injectors and had a bad cylinder misfire. Needless to say I wasn't happy with ordering another set and reinstalling. Set #2 had no...

What shaft length?

Post some #'s.

And don't forget some type of security lugnut or lock. I keep mine locked with a cover over the wheel to hide the lock. Enjoy your trip. Hopefully you won't need your spares!

You mean the contract that I just signed for $900/month till I'm dead doesn't include maintenance, storage, insurance, and fuel? @#$&! I'm sure I can sell this thing for what I have in it - right? All kidding aside, I think the crap weather this year for many areas is also going to contribute to...
