If you go offshore, a topside color that is noticeable from a helicopter could be useful in a worst case scenario. Just something to consider. I’d not go with black or dark blue for instance.

Completely unnecessary post. You don’t have to read what you don’t want to read.

Agree with this here… with a bank check the bank has already taken out the funds from your account before you provide it to the seller, the bank is certifying to the funds. another option is simply withdrawing from a local US bank when you do the deal, you don’t need to transport all the cash...

When you have the boat on the hard, have your wife push the tab buttons while you watch the tabs, and count the seconds to fully deploy and then fully retract. Always leave retracted to start, then counting the seconds when you apply will give you a sense of where they are while in the water...

but then you’ve got 4 bolt holes in your lower unit

I personally find it hard to imagine 5mph lower plane happening, I if I were you, I would want someone with a similarly sized GW to back up the claim (which I know is what you’re trying to do here). I do see these features on many more boats out west than I did in cape cod, so maybe there is...

Congrats, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it, and the convenience of a slip. If Santa Cruz is backlogged, Elkhorn marina at Moss Landing might be an option for you. I bought a used kicker motor from the guy Dan who runs the marina there and I’m sure he’d be a decent person to talk to regarding ongoing...

This one is a bit more spendy but newer hull (despite the dumb decals) GRADY WHITE 204C https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/boa/d/san-jose-grady-white-204c/7418385446.html

I think the addition of the stainless jack plate under the outboard

Agree, this is beyond Gelcoat issues…

I’m not going to claim I have a lot of experience with power poles, but I have never seen one installed on a heavier boat like a GW. I’d be skeptical of their effectiveness honestly. Typically see them on smaller center consoles that weigh a lot less and boats with less profile above the...

The sailrite website has instructional videos for a lot of sunbrella projects. I found a $100 decent sewing machine (Bernina) on CL and have made a number of items relatively cheaply with materials from Amazon. Or you might know someone who could help

Try leaving the panels in the sun a couple hours. They may stretch a bit

Nice upgrade Tony, you will enjoy. In terms of swapping engines, I think you’ll need a part like this, check harbor freight. https://www.vevor.com/products/vevor-2-ton-foldable-folding-engine-crane-4400lbs-hydraulic-engine-hoist-crane?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI3-vbve7P9AIVGx6tBh2k8AXcEAQYASABEgKV4PD_BwE

Personally I would not risk ruining the vinyl, too expensive to replace versus a little time to stow

Pretty sure that step ladder was not original and obv caused the swim step failure. You could likely use the step you have and reinforce to fabricate it like new Amarine Made 3 Step Stainless Steel Telescoping Boat Ladder Swim Step...

I noticed this one too. He’s dropped the price a few thousand since first posting at $18k

I wonder if you could rig to push compressed air through? That might push the last bit of water through.

Scuppers or through hulls drains would be the first places I’d check. If the through hulls are plastic, they can break or chip. Scupper drain hoses can crack over time but probably not for a 2017. Chase the leak down before it becomes a problem (if there is a leak). As mentioned - does your...
