It does seem like a larger range but I consider the 232 more like a 25 footer because of its wide beam and weight. I will not be road trailering but may use a trailer for storage as I do today for my 25 footer WA.

Good info and food for thought. Thanks Your point about the wide beam is also on my list. I suppose to a point that a wider beam means a heavier hull and all else similar, a heavier hull will be more stable. My wife get frightened by excessive rolling. I don't particularly care for it either...

Until those style of boats get 30 feet or bigger, there just isn't enough head room in the head. That space has to double as a head and a changing room. In addition for my style of boating, I don't need the bow seating. I rather have the cabin space.

Noticing that more 232s are being listed for sale. A few more Pursuit 255 OS have popped up but all are pretty far away.

That does ring a bell:)

I don't like the helm seat arrangement on the Expresses. I also want something 10 years or less old.

Thanks for the feedback. I remember a few years back when the Pursuit OS 315 ( I think) was introduced at the NY boat show. Every now and them=n a boat just awes you and that was one of those times.

Do you have the old cushions? That will make it easier for a marine upholsterer to quote replacements new ones. I have no idea what the shops are getting these days but I bet it isn't cheap. Costs can be managed in some cases by getting flat vinyl instead of pleated and flat seams without...

I have been looking for something to get in place of my two older boats, a 2001 208 and a 2006 25 foot WA, not a Grady boat:) I am at an age and physical state that I can't do all the maintenance and I need something newer with 'fewer' issues. In addition, it has become too much work to maintain...

In the area I grew up in, seat covers were what some folks had installed on their living room upholstered chairs and sofas. The covers were clear plastic and if you wore shorts, you usually stuck to it. Regarding boat seat covers (cushions?). Post the year of the boat and the manufacturer of...

Over time the fiberglass dries out from years in the elements. That makes it shrink and the boat gets narrower. Feel better? Now about that bridge I have for sale:)

Just curious. Why do you need two assemblies? Did you check Anchor Express?

You don't need to disassemble to replace seal. You don't have to remove the unit either. You do have to remove the wheel and tilt mechanism. There are a few screws ( 4 I think) that hold in the seal. You probably want to pump out the reservoir so that oil doesn't spill out when the seal is...

Did you use the seastar fill fitting adapter and the upside down bottle? In the first pic I see what looks like fluid but I can't tell if it is leaking out of the back flange or from somewhere else and running down the steering box and pooling on the bottom. If you don't use the fill adapter...

WOT seems a bit high, check current prop as mentioned. Speed is low but before you go buying a new prop, a few questions: How are you measuring speed? ( GPS on a MFD) or the speedo info? How does your hull bottom look? Is the motor the correct shaft length for the hull? Did it ever run faster or...

Is your switch just the plain switch with no display lights? If so, pretty ant similar type of tab switch will work electrically. If your has connectors, you may need to splice. There are different styles and mounting options and some may fit your dash better than others.( visible screws vs...

Make sure the wavy washer goes between the two flat shaft washers. Which oil seals did you get, the output (prop) shaft or the input, drive shaft seals? If prop shaft, good luck with theat job. Sometimes it's not too bad and sometimes not. On some Yamis ( my 150 for example) there are two...

See if part number 11 is what you are looking for https://www.boats.net/catalog/yamaha/outboard/225hp/sx225txry-2000/top-cowling

You say you "went to pump the tank and nothing is coming out". Did you go to a pump out station? In order for pump out to work, you need to make sure that the selector valve for overboard/dock pumpout is in the correct position.Some Y valves are counter-intuitive as to which direction is...

Filling and bleeding the hydraulic steering system is not as simple as many suggest. There are instructions on the Seastar web site for the process. Not only do you need fluid, you need the fill port adapter and hose that screws onto the bottle ( you will need a spare bottle since you have to...
