    2004 Sailfish Vent Window

    Greyduk, I saw that and thought the same thing. I took your diagram and measured it against my other window and it is a smaller window than what I need. I thought I got lucky with it. Thanks for the tip though.

    Marlin vs Gulfstream in Heavier Seas

    I went from a Seafarer to a Gulfstream to a Sailfish. The ride from a Seafarer to Gulfstream was a dramatic improvement. The Gulfstream can handle just about anything most that would choose to venture out in. When I went to the Sailfish the ride and overall handling with twins was better but not...

    1988 seafarer faucet pump not working

    I had to replace mine on an 85 but as I recall I had to replace the on/off toggle switch in the gunnel several times. I looked at my old manual and it shows a diagram of the pump and water tank. They are located right behind the main fuel tank so unless yo have an access port right there you...

    282 Sailfish windshield wipers

    My hos to the wiper blade was missing when I bought my 2004 Sailfish. The nozzle at the window that the wiper hose connects to shoots a perfect spray of wiper wash over the window. Have you tried the wiper spray without the hose?

    33 Grady Express owners ?

    I had that same routine to check for corrosion with my F225s and one year while changing the water pumps out I got a call from my mechanic that not only did I have the corrosion but it went a step further and migrated into the heads. Long story short ended up repowering with F250 4.2 L. Might be...

    Well, was fun planning...

    Best thing I ever did was walk away from trailers. Slip in the summer and a haul out and in before and after winter storage. Although I have to admit there are times I wish I had the flexibility of a trailer especially when I get the bill for winter storage.

    HELP...Transom Swell - Express 360

    That job looks great, I will never understand why Grady would choose to cap rather than glass it. It's not like they would have to hire someone to do it.

    renting a slip length?

    The repower was 50K installed. The engines I got were the mechanical shift 4.2 L. This option knocked a little over 10K off electric shift. 468 hours still pretty young. My old ones had the exhaust corrosion issue and it had spread to the power head.

    renting a slip length?

    My marina charges 30 feet for a 28 Sailfish. The boat that is beside me is a 36 foot inboard - his sticks out quite a bit past the end of the dock. I back in so with engines up I am probably 33 feet and extend a foot or so past the piling.

    23 Gulstream cabin questions

    Is has been a while since owned a Gulfstream but my wife and I spent a lot of time overnighting along with a golden retriever. Not the Marriott but it was always comfortable. More importantly is the Gulfstream's wide beam, it performs and rides like a much bigger boat. Definitely does feel like...

    Cuddy fabric cushions

    Great advice on Sunbrella, I had mine done by a local shop and had them done in Sunbrella last year. The original material used by GW was a mold magnet. The new stuff has never had a touch of mold and clean-up is simple with a damp cloth. Well worth the extra bucks for Sunbrella marine material...
