    Woohoo! Our new to us 2006 Sailfish passed survey.

    Congrats for sure, all excellent points stated above. TJ, I'm not sure if you said it came with a trailer, if so, make sure your trailer is good working condition for the long haul back, maybe have the wheel bearings repacked before you head back and carry a spare set. I learned from that...

    Considering a 282 Sailfish vs a Marlin 300, ideas?

    Hi Capt, welcome aboard.. I’m going to be bias here, the 300 Marlin is the best boat Grady has ever built, lol.. I trailer 6-7 times a year with a 2018 Ram diesel with no problem at all. I live in California and all that is required for trailering are flags. I also have 3 hamsters ranging from...

    Trailer work

    I think I got it, the image isn’t that good maybe the angle with the sun. Will do on the wire brush, I didn’t want to spend a day on cleaning the rust off but I’ll do the best I can, I’ll keep you updated. Have a great day!!

    Trailer work

    Hey guys, got a tri axle Trail Rite for my Marlin. I have been needing to get this work done so I splashed the boat paid for an end tie for a week and here I go. I was kinda dreading that the mounting bolts for the brake housing would sheer off but to my surprise they came out relatively easy...

    Another Transom Question

    Will do. The boat left NC and headed straight for SoCal and never left. I keep the boat in Santa Cruz and the climate is pretty steady.

    Another Transom Question

    Hello everyone, Down at the boat today and noticed some cracking in the transom area, are these superficial or is it something that should be brought to the top of the list. BTW, transom cap was resealed last year. I’m the second owner, had it out 1 time this year and just noticed it today...
