    coustom covers

    Has anyone ordered a boat cover for a sailfish from boatcoversdirect or another? Did it fit well? I need it to go over my rocket launchers, radar and antennas and I'd like it over the pulpit. I also have outriggers.

    Striping 2000 Sailfish

    I need to relpace the striping on my 2000 Sailfish. It is blue and gold and maybe 2- 2/12 inches wide. Dealer in Ocean City, MD doesn't have any (or at least they didn't when I checked last Fall). Any idea where I might be able to find some? Need enough to wrap entire boat. Thanks, David

    Sailfish Power

    I have a 2000 sailfish with twin 225 EFI's (2 stroke). Plenty of power but one can never have enough. Moving from 225 to 250 may be a weight vs. increase in speed/fuel decision. 225's seem to be enough power for my needs.

    Sailfish: Soft floor?

    Had the same thing happen to my 2000 sailfish which is located in Ocean City MD. Had Jim (Jim's Marine) remove the panel and reseal with a strong resin. Says he sees this a lot and it is due to the wood not being properly sealed or something. Anyhow, mine is now better then new and solid...

    Winter flushing

    I have twin Yam 225 EFI's. If I run my boat in below freezing weather and then flush it - do I need to pump anti-freeze into it from flushing hose line or from bottom? Boat is stored high on lift with engines usually down - although I sometimes have the engines up. With engines down or up...

    winterizing grady (mid-atlantic area)

    Thought I’d double check to make sure I’m winterizing my Grady correctly and not missing anything. Boat is a Grady 272 with twin Yam 225's EFI's and here is what I do - • Remove everything off boat (inc cushions around stern) and store inside. • Empty Fresh Water system (inc hot water...

    Canvas Cover for 272 Sailfish (2000)

    This looks like the same covers you can order off Boatcoversdirect.com. Got a quote of between $700-$800 just now. Need to get the center line measurement to include pulpit. How can I e-mail this person as I'm not a e-bay registered user?

    Canvas Cover for 272 Sailfish (2000)

    Was going to have the boat shrink wrapped this year but instead I'm wondering if it would be better to go ahead and order a canvas cover? Anyone have any luck with this or know of where I might be able to order one? Located in Ocean City Maryland. Boat is lift kept during winter.

    macerator pump 272 sailfish

    I have the same model I think (272 Sailfish) and my pump is not working. Checked all connections and I am going to be checking the motor when I get a chance to. I may try and lube or have the motor rebuilt. Since the boat it 9 years old, I'm thinking the motor may be gone. Hopefully I can...

    calculating boat weight inc engines & fuel

    I have this written down somewhere but can't seem to find it. Need an estimate weight of my 2000 Sailfish w/twin 225 TXRY Yamaha's, fuel, water, equipment. I think it is around 8,500 lb? Here is how I calculated it. Boat (dry weight) = 5,500 lb Engines (twin 225 Yam TXRY 2 stroke) = 539...

    Grady 265 Cabin Lights/Dome/Spot and Bathroom light

    Not sure if same in your boat, but there is usually a pop up fuse for these lights at the cockpit area and if you replace that, you should be good to go. I have a 272 sailfish and had to replace mine last week. Easy easy job. D.

    Crack in pulpit - need fiberglass person (OC MD)

    Fiberglass guy (Jim's Marine) is coming by this week to fix. Took a look at it and it seems that either the 2 bolts on top were tightened too much or water got in through one of them and caused the wood to swell. Doesn't look bad now but probably better ($$$ wise) not to wait to fix.

    272 Sailfish Helm Seat (new glider)

    Need to order a new glider for the helm seat - 2000 Sailfish 272. Does anyone know where I can get one at a good price? Almost from day one, the seat never stayed forward (little notches worn out). Every time I'd hit a big wave, the seat would slide back. Anyhow, I would really like to...

    Crack in pulpit - need fiberglass person (OC MD)

    Does anyone know a good fiberglass repair guy in Ocean City MD. I have a crack in my pulpit (272 Sailfish) and need to get it taken care of ASAP. From the looks of it (and according to GW customer service), it appears that water may have gotten in through the top bolt and swelled the wood...
