    Tough question

    Simply put, stay away from a sea pro, they have not had the best rep for quality, and everyone I know who owns them says they fall apart quickly. As for the Robalo vs Grady, both are well built and quality boats. The gulfstream has more cockpit space and is built more for fishing. The...

    Took the boat out today

    It got into the high 60s, low 70s here today and I couldn't resist taking the boat out for a ride. As (my) luck would have it, the wind really kicked up about 15 minutes after leaving the dock. I was really surprised by how much I was blown around in the river. Sure glad I wasn't out in the...

    Fuel Management system - suggestions?

    Re: Fuel management system - suggestions That is an excellent guage you put on your rig. It was the old Navman Fuel Flow guage that Northstar took over. If I remember correctly, it come set for 'Imperial Gallons' right out of the box so you have to change that for it to read U.S. gallons...

    265 Express Replacement

    ...faster on the way home if you save some fuel trolling. It really is a toos up between HPDI's and F strokes. OX66's numbers are fine unless you plan to fish offshore a bit, you have the range but will constantly be watching the fuel guage and may end up calling your days short to safely run in.

    New 265... Fuel gage-main or aux?

    I have a 2005 Islander and there is a rocker switch on the dash which enables you to switch the Yamaha fuel guage from the main tank to the aux. tank or visa versa. This only switches the reading of the fuel guage and not the actual source of fuel for the engines. You need to manually switch...

    Off Season Projects

    I would get a fuel flow guage to better meter the amount of fuel in your tank. The original guages are a waste (as I am sure you know..).
