I have a 10 year old weedwacker that starts on the 3rd or 4th pull after winter layup. :D

Be careful of the 80s and early 90s Yamahas. They had regular steel shift shafts that are know to rust away over time. Replacement requires removal of the powerheads, which can be terribly difficult and very costly. Many engines that need this repair are deemed a lost cause... If I were...

Or go to www.classicmako.com ...aka "The Best Forum on the Web". :D

I can swing by tomorrow around 5:30 PM. Can you give the owner a call just to give him a heads up that nobody will be trying to steal his boat then. :)

Let it bake in the sun for a few weeks. The UV should make it brittle. Then go at the edges with a wood chisel. Been there...done that.

The only thing I can tell you is it seems to say in the water year round and I've never seen anyone actually get on it. I admire that boat from the bridge on my way to work every day. I'd take a peek on my way home as well, but I can't see it from the Northbound lane. :) If you want, I...

Is this boat at a house right near (almost under) the Solomons bridge?

It's not necessary. There is zero bracket in the water when running and you get more forces applied in those conditions than when trailering.

Yep.

Just take the windows out and glass over the openings. :)

If the motor was too heavy, it would have been too heavy from day one. Besides, I'm sure they were building that boat to hold a F225 as well which is much heavier than a 250 HPDI. Can you tell if all items mounted to the outside of the transom have been sealed properly. If you have screw or...

I ran an '85 204 Fisherman (same boat) all over the mid-Bay, down at the CBBT and up to 30 miles out. If the hull is solid, it will take everything you can. That being said, you do have to slow down when it get's nasty or she will hurt you.

It's a good thing nobody showed up with an overpowered Grady...you all could have died. :roll: :roll: :roll: :lol: :lol: :lol: Sorry we missed the festivities, but live music and beer...lots and lots of beer...at the Greene Turtle in Prince Frederick took precedence. :D

Geez...you guys are picky. Make sure the scupper hoses are double clamped, put some Trilux on the engine and forget about it. :roll: But if it bothers you that much, dump the Yamaha and get a Merc. They tilt farther up... Grady could switch to a bracket that provides more flotation...

Can any of you guys recommend a good surveyor in the central/southern MD location?

You could probably T into the intake hose downstream of the seacock. Just make sure you close the seacock when you want to run from the docks water source. Also, make sure your water source has enough volume and pressure to supply the AC.

I'm sure it can be done. Check with Champion Trailers and/or Eastern Marine. www.championtrailers.com www.easternmarine.com Please post what you find out as I may have to do the same for my Mako 17 trailer one day.

225 HPDI is a bass boat motor and only comes w/ a 20" shaft. They won't work on a Sailfish, you need 25"ers.

Freshwater cockpit shower and gunwale (port) mounted freshwater faucet were both options on your boat. The faucet probably couldn't be had w/out the shower because the tank was associated w/ the shower according to the '95 catalog. Your water hook-up is most likely for the raw water washdown...
