I had the same issue with a 2004 Gulfstream. I replaced the macerator pump and the motor would run but still no pump out action. Next I replaced the hoses and the Y valve still no luck thinking aa clog. Finally I took the new pump back to the dealer and asked if it could be a bad pump. The...

Re: DeWalt 20 V Impact Driver: Any Of You Gents Own / Use O I have the Dewalt and love it. I generally stick with Dewalt so batteries and chargers are interchangeable. Never had an issue with any of their tools

I have the 2003 GW catalogue and the max HP for the 306 is 500. Twin F250 would be fine for that boat. When I went from an 1995 2 stroke 200 HP engine to a 200 HPDI the performance and fuel saving was dramatic. When I went to my next boat a 283 Sailfish with twin F225 the fuel savings on a per...

Yes, my Sailfish 282 has two tanks. The tank senders are routed to a rocker switch at the cockpit. Simply flip the switch when you change tanks and it will work. It takes 20 or 30 seconds after you switch to give you the new tank level reading.

Nice catch - lots of good eating !

The quoted length is the center line length with out the engine / engines.

Very nice - my first BFT was caught on a Gulfstream too.

Educated guess is the end of the year sales are designed to clean out inventory for new year models and probably better than other deals. The elimination of the model would not bother me. I have a Sailfish which was dropped from the lineup and from what I hear the demand for used ones is way up...

Had same issue once and it was the key switch. Dealer figured it out in 10 minutes.

I got one recently from a boat that had fallen of it's trailer and was totaled. Maybe a boat salvage junkyard if there is one in vicinity?

There Is a post further down on the page that provides some insight into your question

It is discontinued, GW had come out with the Chesapeake which was 29 feet vs the 28 foot Sailfish. They said the models were too close in size to each other. The Chesapeake has since been discontinued. The Chesapeake had a wider beam and a significantly larger price tag.

The 28 foot Sailfish fits your requirements. Great boat that GW no longer makes. Used ones are becoming tougher to find and go quick if they are in top shape. Good Luck

My 2004 stereo also has a remote controller at the helm station. not sure if the power could run through that and onto the stereo, It might make sense since the helm controller is closer to the fuse box.

I have a 2004 Sailfish 28 and routinely travel 25-30 miles off the coast of Massachusetts and the boat has never had an issue with a variety of sea conditions. My brother in-law recently took his Sailfish 250 miles south to New York and it handled like a champ.

I always keep starboard to 1 and port 2. If you have them on the both setting you could drain all 3 batteries if something was left running. By keeping them separate you should always have a least enough power to start one engine if your battery died. Once 1 engine is running you could flip to...

Yes the manual shows it. It is under the access whole in the cabin floor right outside of the head. I have cleaned the filter a few times it is just a round mesh filter.

Thanks - the manual just says to clean the filter not how to operate. It must be float driven. Guess there is no manual way to disable it in a no discharge zone unless you pull the fuse.

Hi - I have owned my boat for 8 years and have never been able to figure out how the drain water from the shower empties out. I know there is a strainer filter that needs to be cleaned but don't know how the grey water gets out. I assume It does not land in the bilge. I visit many harbors where...

The fact that they are so hard to find should tell GW that there is still a significant demand for a boat of this caliber and versatility in this price range. I have always thought it was a mistake to discontinue this model and the 29 footer is a huge price jump.
