    Canyon 366 hull concerns

    Hmm.....a 10 year old and very expensive boat that required a new transom? That would give me cause for concern. How could that hull get water intrusion like that in such a short time. My suspicious mind would be thinking that was caused by damage of some sort. Make sure you do your due...

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0053HQ3B0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Stuff for old Offshores is hard to find.....Grady did not use standard parts at the time. I replaced mine with these. I removed that old hardware.....screwed a piece of marine grade plywood over the old...

    '86 Gulfstream 232,

    Hey Jimmy......I know those numbers are definitely high but I am running an '06 225 pretty hard these days and enjoying every minute of it. I fish pretty hard....200 miles plus on a weekend with a few beer drinking fatsos and a load of fuel and ice...and have been trouble free. Plugs....lower...

    '86 Gulfstream 232,

    Twin 2012 E Tec 175's? If those engines are in any kind of decent shape they could be valued at 8-10K each. That is probably the high end but depending on the asking price it may be a good value even if you have to do some work on the transom. I have a 2006 E Tec that I have had great luck with...

    ok - this is silly ... cup holders question

    It really isn't a silly question..........every time that I try to replace something on my '82 Offshore I find that the parts available now are smaller than original equipment....rod holders.....gas filler cap.....can't find a wheel spinner that fits my steering wheel....happens all the time...

    Tuna tower on 268 islander 1999

    I agree with the above.....8'-6" is too narrow for a tower.

    Windlass anchor rope “rode” tangling/jam fix?

    I had the same problem in my 24 Offshore. The storage locker is so small that the rope would kink and twist no matter what I did. As I only usually anchor in 100 ft or less I stored the last 150 ft of line in a 3 gal bucket in the cabin. It helped quite a bit.

    4HP KICKER?? Enough to push a 246 at 7knts?

    I had a 3HP on a 12 ft aluminum boat when I was a kid and I don't think that rig did 7 kts.

    Side Curtains

    Everybody leaves them up when the boat is in the slip and not in use....don't they? In the summer when I am heading out I roll up the 3 back parts.....open up the front window...roll it up and secure it with straps but the side curtains have no straps and are a real beatch to remove and...

    Change shifter throttle cables anyone ?

    I did it this spring. Not too difficult. Just make sure that you don't damage any wiring or anything when you pull them. Good Luck!

    Side Curtains

    Each side is just one piece and as currently configured they do not roll up. They are anchored in a channel at the top.....snapped at the bottom and zippered to the front and back pieces. It is a giant PITA to remove them. That's why I want to add the windows, which I can un zip and roll up when...

    Side Curtains

    Hello All....I have an old Offshore with a hardtop and a few years back I had a full enclosure fabricated. The side curtains are entirely Isinglass or whatever he used. It gets very hot in there even with the front open and the back sections rolled up....and I catch a lot of wind which makes it...

    Wiper Arm

    I feel kind of stupid asking this but the wiper arm on my 1982 Offshore has been vexing me for a long time. I have changed the blade and done my best to replace the spring but it still doesn't make good contact with the glass. Is there an arm available anywhere? Do I just try to bend the arm so...
