    offshore 24 fuel tank

    I have replaced them on 2 different Offshores. Cost for the main tank is about $1,100.00 on the south shore of LI. They have to be fabricated. Not too difficult to install. Try Alloy Metalworks in Farmingdale. Make a sketch of the tank and they will give you a quote.

    Wicked Tuna

    I grew up in Broad Channel NY....went to school with TJ Ott's dad for 12 years. He is a self made man...made his money in his own auto body business right after high school. He also taught himself to fish for giants. Some of the drama is created and they don't need the $$ from selling tuna to...

    Best boat you never owned?

    It was a 13 ft Boston Whaler with a 18 HP Evinrude that was for sale in our neighborhood when I was probably 13 years old. I looked at that thing every day for a whole summer drooling. Then one day my dad and I walked by it and he said "You know , I wanted to buy that for you, but I couldn't...

    Rocket Launchers

    Just FYI....I want to give a shout out to GW Performance Welding in NJ. I spoke to Glenn last Tuesday and ordered a 4 pole set of rocket launchers that would fit the hard top of my 1982 Offshore. It arrived on Monday and the quality is exceptional and the price was very reasonable. He is very...

    You should also be prepared to re-power within a short period of time with a 21 year old outboard.

    Fast Asleep in Her Quarters

    I envy both of you guys.....wish I could access my baby and give her some TLC over the winter. Unfortunately it will be April before I can do anything.

    Eisenglass storage

    I have limited space for storage so I laid mine flat in the cabin with beach towels under and between each piece. I was very concerned about the heat from the shrink wrapper if I left them up.

    It's always something

    Well.............just to add insult to injury...I called EZ Loader with my VIN number and ordered the whole hub replacement kit. Not just the bearings. I knew I would pay a premium for it from them but figured get original equipment parts and do it right. WRONG..........previous owner replaced...

    On the bright side I will add" how to change a trailer hub" to my ever expanding set of skills.

    It's always something

    Pulled the boat on Sunday.....almost made it to the yard when this happened. Previous owner replaced 3 of 4 hubs a year before I bought the boat and trailer. Now have to fix this before winterizing. Oh well......

    228 Seat Upgrade

    Same clearance as original equipment. I am very pleased with the result.....and Starboard might have been a better option now that you mention it.

    228 Seat Upgrade

    I replaced mine with a pair of Wise adjustable height swivel seats with the slide. I took the hardware out from under the existing seat posts......caulked around the existing holes with 5200.......screwed down a piece of marine grade plywood....just larger than the new seat bases.....then...

    25ft journey or 26 express

    AS DRBatts stated....if you are concerned about the boats behavior while drifting...(I drift for sharks all the time in my 24 Offshore) then go for the wider beam. If I could change 1 thing on my Grady it would be to add 1 ft in the beam.
