    Day Dreaming ...upgrading

    Would you ever consider keeping what you have and renting when you want the bigger adventure? While we’re dreaming, regulators and contenders make me drool

    Benchmarking 2000 272 Sailfish Prices

    Start high and see how the market reacts if you aren’t in a rush. It’s a big boat, and there’s a limited number of people looking for a boat that size and use. What’s the condition of the transom? That will be the first question. Have the fuel tanks been replaced yet? I’d say the market has been...

    Yamaha 175 2stroke- Hard to start.

    Wouldn’t hurt to try a seafoam treatment as well. When you say carbs and bowls were drained, were they cleaned at all? Next time you get on the water and started up, run with full throttle for several minutes to try to blow out any carbon buildup.

    First boat

    My recommendation is to go to various marinas and dealers, chat with people, listen to local advice and see if you can take a look at some local Gradys in various models. What style of boats are most common where you are? Basically they have the bow riders, center consoles, and walk around...

    New seats for 236

    Yes, definitely make it comfortable for you, in order to get the most enjoyment out of the boat. Do you plan to take the project on yourself?

    Leaking fuel tanks 306 Bimini

    Can consider if Poly tanks might be a solution for you. They won’t have the same capacity because it won’t be a custom fit. Perhaps the new tanks weren’t properly secured, and possibly moved while underway, causing stress on the welds?

    Tilt/trim

    Did you try to refill the oil reservoir? I’m not sure that would be the answer since it seems to work with the switch on the outboard itself, but it’s a very simple first step to check. Often there is a plastic cap to remove (be careful not to strip it), and you fill with ATF, then raise and...
