Thanks Dennis - The drain faucet is plastic and I was thinking of taking it off and seeing if the passageway was clogged.

My hot water only drains out a few gallons or so of water - guessing it has sediment or something locking it from draining the full 6 gallons. I just run the tanks until the faucets are dry and then put 7 gallons of pink stuff in then run the hot and cold until they run pink. Cost a few bucks...

282 Sailfish - insurance, marina, winter storage, shrink wrap and winterization it runs around 15K in SE Mass. Add in fuel, repairs and entertainment 2-5K

Congrats - Sailfish is a great boat. Did you go though Cape Cod or did you just cruise off shore. Saturday was pretty windy around Massachusetts

Looks great - congrats on getting this project behind you. I will never understand why this is not done at the factory - how much could it cost to glass over 4 more inches when in the manufacturing process.

Amazing work and results -

If my tank is full the electric flush will continue to pump to the point that the tank will overflow thorough the pumpout cover on the deck. Did experience any over flow? you

Fishing from the side has not been an issue for me. My experience with these fish is you need to be able to fish them from every angle bc they bounce around like an out of control rockets

I use my 282 Sailfish all the time for tuna and have ha no issues. If you are targeting true up to 1,000 pounds plus you would probably need a winch to get it in the boat as they won't fit through the door. The boat is very capable of handling/catching any sized but the issue is getting the big...

I have had 3 Grady's in 36 years and never could figure out those rubber dimples. Funny in 36 years I have never had to reset one of those breakers either. Live and learn!

I had one break last year, on my 2004 Sailfish and like most models the port and starboard vents are identical. I just took it to a local glass company and they made a template from the opposite side and made a new one. It took about a week bc they had to send it out to one of their suppliers to...

I just saw a 40 footer soda blasted at my Marina last Friday. The guys that did it were pros and had it clean of 20 years worth of paint in 3 hours. Next day it had a seal coat and then the following day with bottom paint. Looks brand new. Sanding and chemicals would be a tough chore!

Will you make it as far as Key West?

I was reading my insurance policy that came in the mail yesterday and I noticed a clause that said the boat needs to be out of the water and decommissioned between November 1 and May 1. Anyone know if this is a standard line in northern boat policies. I assume it would never be in policy in...

It depends on a number of factors. Obviously every one wants their boats in the beginning of May. The bottom needs to be prepped and sealed prior to painting. Do you have extensive electronic package being added Radar, , GPS, Radio, VHF, Windlass ETC. Is the dealers a high volume outlet with...

https://www.topshelfmarine.com/product/sea-cock-ball-valve-helper/ This is a handy leverage tool for hard to reach and tough to move seacock. I would be cautious of using it if you seacock is frozen as it could end break it. Use it if your seacock is not getting enough use bc it is 3 feet below...
